If I was gay, why would I hide it?
David Copperfield
From the very beginning, I studied acting, directing, lighting, dance and movement. I didn't rely on just the magic to take place. It's a shame that a lot of magicians just rely on the trick itself and they have no other abilities. They get away with the wonder factor, and I don't think that's enough. It's great, but it's not enough.
David Copperfield
Normally, I do magic on the stage. But I can make magic credible and resonate through a TV screen.
David Copperfield
I find revealing the secrets of magic quite reprehensible.
David Copperfield
I try to help people realize their dreams by using magic to tell stories that educate, move, and inspire.

I'm trying to change theater, in my own way - not just magic. I say that humbly, because I'm learning every single day. I do 15 shows a week, and every single audience I have is like a test screening for you, when you listen and go, Really? They laughed at that? All over the stage I have lines, written onstage, that I'm changing every single d
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
No, I think marriage is a great thing.
David Copperfield
Magic is used in espionage, all the time, for clandestine things. I've got a whole library from a gentleman who was hired by the CIA to create magic technology for the use of anti-terrorism.
David Copperfield
I think the negative reinforcement really helped me in my very beginnings.
David Copperfield
Demonic figures and occult themes have disappeared from modern magic.
David Copperfield
As I did more of that, I realized, Well, maybe I should do more magic.
David Copperfield
You lose your sense of wonder the more you learn, right? When you go to film school and learn about moviemaking, you go to see movies and then only see where the lights are, where the cuts are, watching it from a technical basis, nodding your head, Oh, that was good. The feeling of surprise, the feeling of being transported is further away.
