David Copperfield
Greatest Illusionist of our Time
David Copperfield has been hailed by audiences and critics alike as the greatest illusionist of our time. In addition to decades of network television events, worldwide tours, and "Dreams and Nightmares," the critically acclaimed Broadway show that set box-office records, he has been featured on the covers of Forbes, Architectural Digest and Esquire.
He’s the first living illusionist to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Along with Steven Speilberg, Martin Scorsese and Colin Powell, he received the Living Legend award from the United States Library of Congress.
His face graces the postage stamps of six different countries, making him the only living magician to receive this honor.
He’s won over 21 Emmy awards for his groundbreaking television specials.
He holds 11 Guinness World Records and has sold more tickets than any other solo entertainer in history, with ticket sales in the billions—more than Frank Sinatra, more than Michael Jackson, more than Elvis.
He founded The International Museum and Library of the Conjuring Arts, which houses the world's largest collection of historically significant magic memorabilia, posters, books, props and artifacts.
He joined forces with Dean Koontz, Joyce Carol Oates, Ray Bradbury and others for "David Copperfield's Tales of the Impossible," an anthology of original fiction set in the world of magic and illusion. This collections was so well received that a second volume was published, "David Copperfield's Beyond Imagination."
David Copperfield's proudest achievement, however, is Project Magic, a program that uses magic as therapy in a thousand hospitals in 30 countries worldwide. This medically-certified program motivates patients to regain their dexterity, coordination and cognitive skills by learning simple magic and sleight of hand.
