David Copperfield: a Real-life Magician

Не is probably the most successful magician in history. He started practising magic when he was 10. At the age of 12, he became the youngest member of the Society of American Magicians. At the age of 19 he played the leading role in the musical The Magic Man. That’s when David Kotkin chose his stage name - ‘David Copperfield’ - from the famous novel by Charles Dickens. David has won 11 Guinness World Records and 21 Emmy Awards for his TV series. In 2011, he was named ‘King of magic’ by the Society of American Magicians. Copperfield’s most popular illusions include walking through the Great Wall of China, levitating over the Grand Canyon and making the Statue of Liberty disappear. He says that the inspiration for new illusions comes to him in dreams. ‘Creating a new illusion is like writing a song, sometimes the lyrics come first and sometimes it’s the music.’ He still hopes to make the moon disappear and straighten the leaning tower of Pisa.
