ReplyCopperfield is funny!
ReplyDidnt he get me tood?
ReplyI recognize the Houdini poster to his left (our right) and the framed flyers. It was an early poster of him (Harry H) secured in chains & locks, kind of bent over at the waist. I sure hope he acquired many of the original artifacts from early magicians to preserve for all time from the estate of the owner of the Houdini Magical Hall of Fame in Niagara Falls, Canada where I once worked. (It’s long gone, and actually had a fire, with them stored in a warehouse for many years.) The poster to the left of the sea captain is of the water torture cell. We actually had it (the device) in the museum, with that same poster beside it. I know how the talking head worked, as we actually had one of Houdini welcoming guests from an old-style ticket window on the street. As for my own cashier’s booth inside, it was about 15′ in, in the lobby & up a few stairs but gave the illusion of floating in the air. Thanks for indulging my memories. Great interview, btw.

ReplyHey, it’s David Cop-a-feel.
ReplyThis is a very solid interview
ReplyGuinness world records. You mean the records you call them about and pay them to “verify”? That Guinness?
ReplyDavid Copperfield changed my life and he made me look at things in a different perspective. If it wasn’t for David Copperfield I wouldn’t be the person I am now. God bless him and everyone who brought him on.
ReplyThe illusion is him thinking that wig looks good on him. Not a wig you say? Then where is the hairline? Its a mop.
ReplyI sure hope the Sea Captain didn’t end up on the moon…
ReplyDavid is considered a legend on the Planet. When people think of illusion or magic they think David Copperfield.
ReplyWow, looks real young for his age.
