David Copperfield

I discovered something amazing, which has caused a lot of controversy - the fountain of youth. I have to keep it a secret!

There is a safe spot within every tornado. My job is to find it.

The real secret of magic lies in the performance.

I used to fly around the stage without strings or camera tricks. That took seven years to create.

Never stop listening to your audience.

It's really hard to think of one kind of magic as a favorite. I've been really fortunate in that I've been able to perform such a diverse range of things.

The audience likes to be taken on new journeys.

No, I think marriage is a great thing.

Marriage is like a formality for me.

It is the unspoken ethic of all magicians to not reveal the secrets.
