David Copperfield

“The real secret of magic lies in the performance.”

“What I do is the celebration of childhood and all that's magical and fantastic in life.”

“It's not about fooling somebody, it's about convincing somebody that something is real.”

“I use magic to tell stories, and I love telling stories.”

“An illusionist is a storyteller.”

“Magic is an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder.”

“I always loved the idea of making the impossible seem possible.”

“For me, the most important thing is to continue to be creative.”

“I'm a perfectionist, so I'm never satisfied. I'm always looking for a better way to do it.”

“My job is to make people dream.”

“You have to have a dream, whether big or small. Then plan, focus, work hard and be very determined to achieve your goals.”

“The history of our art is a story of progress.”

“It's all about making the audience feel something.”

“I think the most important thing is to be in a relationship with yourself. When you're not in a relationship with yourself, you're always looking for someone else to complete you.”

“I get to go out and do what I love to do every night.”
