More quotes by David Copperfield
I was an only child. We were so poor, my parents and I had the same room.
David Copperfield
My father kind of encouraged me through that. Exactly,[work] not as an actor, obviously, but as someone in show business that had some success. He told me to live the impossible. Live the impossible!
David Copperfield
I'm inventing new principles. The audience has a point of view that no one can predict.
David Copperfield
For one of my specials, I said, I'm going to make an airplane disappear. Okay! And the next day, everything went crazy - it was like breaking the internet before the internet.
David Copperfield
When I started doing magic as a kid, my parents had no problem.
David Copperfield
I had a point of view, which was different. I looked at magic as theater, as storytelling, and I tried to have an approach that was different from what they were doing. How can I move people and really get them to dream with a card trick, with coin magic, or even a piece of stage magic?
David Copperfield
I used to fly around the stage without strings or camera tricks. That took seven years to create.
David Copperfield
The key is for the audience never to know, so I have a plan B for every illusion.
David Copperfield
I started as a ventriloquist, a very bad ventriloquist. And people saw my lips moving and it was ridiculous, so finally I decided I'd better change my occupation.
David Copperfield
When I was a kid, people wanted to be an astronaut. Today, kids want to be famous, and that's totally the wrong approach. You have to have authenticity in what you're doing. You have to really care about the core message of what you're saying, and then everything else will fall into place.
David Copperfield
My job is to make people dream. Of course, there's a lot of technical stuff behind the scenes and a lot of hard work behind it, but I get to watch people see the result of that hard work and feel that wonder and feel that discovery, all the time.
David Copperfield
Everything that you'd see on The Ed Sullivan Show was at the Tannen's Magic. You'd think that if you could afford a trick like Doc Nixon's Dove Vanish, then you could be on The Ed Sullivan Show as an 8-year-old kid.
David Copperfield
My dreams are my dress rehearsals for my future.
David Copperfield
All my TV shows are done live in front of audiences, and all the material I take on the road and travel with them test them for hundreds and hundreds of shows before I shoot them for TV.
David Copperfield
The most important thing is presentation.
David Copperfield
It's okay for me to be gay, but God didn't make me that way.
David Copperfield
But when I go off stage I don't have a deck of cards with me all the time.
David Copperfield
I find revealing the secrets of magic quite reprehensible.
David Copperfield
Magic and new technology have always walked hand in hand - even back in the days of Robert Houdin.
David Copperfield
I will now make a scorpion appear in Osama bin Laden's pants
