The Magic of David Copperfield – a great way to describe one of the most spectacular illusionists of our time. His magic talent begin at an early age where he billed himself as “Davino, the Boy Magician” and he was the youngest person ever to be admitted to the Society of American Magicians at age 14.

The magic of David Copperfield was so good he was also teaching the subject at New York University when just 16 years of age. Originally David Kotkin, it wasn’t until he was 18 years old that he decided on the stage name David Copperfield.

He got his break into television just a year later, but it was a few years after that when The Magic of David Copperfield series was commissioned.

The Magic of David Copperfield 3 that saw the levitation of a Ferrari, an illusion that could have cost David his life as when only three feet in the air, the car fell.

Making The Statue of Liberty disappear was performed in The Magic of David Copperfield 5. This amazing illusion involved a live audience sitting in front of two towers, and between them, in the distance was The Statue of Liberty. A curtain was raised using the two towers and when lowered, amazingly the Statue had disappeared.

By now, The Magic of David Copperfield was getting huge audiences.

Walking through The Great Wall of China was another superb illusion performed in The Magic of David Copperfield 8. A covered frame is placed next to the wall and a light shone from behind. David enters the frame and, as a silhouette, is seen to disappear into the wall. On the other side of the wall, a similar frame is constructed and a silhouette is seen to appear out of the wall before David removes the curtains to reveal himself.

In The Magic of David Copperfield 13, he performs Mystery On The Orient Express where a carriage of the Orient Express is covered with a huge curtain, the carriage is then levitated before the curtain is removed to reveal the carriage has disappeared.

David performed his most remarkable illusion to date in The Magic of David Copperfield 14. He mimics the take-off of a bird, and then starts to fly and swoop around the stage. Hoops are then rotated around his body to show there are no wires before he enters a glass case and levitates in the, now lidded, case.
