In this video, David talks about one of his most famous & contraversial illusions, 13, which used to be part of his Las Vegas live show "Live The Impossible".

David Copperfield is the greatest & most famous illusionist of all time, who from his very early shows on & even now has consistently amazed the world with his magic. Witness the magic of the man who made a seven ton learjet airplane vanish, made the Statue of Liberty Disappear, floated over the Grand Canyon, walked through The Great Wall of China, escaped from Alcatraz, confronted the mystery of The Bermuda Triangle, escaped from an imploding building, escaped from Niagara Falls, has sawed HIMSELF in half as opposed to the traditional "Sawing A Woman In Half" in the infamous "Death Saw", made an Orient Express train car disappear, conquered human flight by floating above audience members without the aid of wings, strings, or camera tricks in his most famous levitation illusion called "Flying" that is considered his "greatest illusion of all time", escaped from a straitjacket ten stories in the air, survived being inside of a "Tornado of Fire", & in his live shows, has filled thousands of theaters with snow, made thousands disappear in his equally famous "Thirteen" illusion, & his most famous illusion, "Portal", in the ultimate teleportation, where he transports himself & a lady from the audience from the stage, to a beach on Hawaii on an island in the middle of nowhere, yet still continues to make his mark in pop culture with his many tv & movie appearances, with tv shows such as "Late Night With David Letterman", "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "The Arsenio Hall Show, "Oprah", & most recently "America's Got Talent", & movie cameos on "Terror Train" with Jamie Lee Curtis, & "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" with Steve Carel, as well as continuing to evolve his magic by the constant creation of new illusions.
David can be seen live & up close year round at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in his very own "David Copperfield Theater", formerly knows as Hollywood Theater, in his latest new show "Live The Impossible", which is sure to capture the imaginations of children as well as adults, by first materializing on stage out of no where on his Harley, known as "The Motorcycle Shadow Box", & later introduces us to his childhood toy dinosaur that he calls "Frank", & to a little blue magical alien named "Atilla". He also performs classics such as "The Squeeze Box", also known as "The Shrink Box", living his grandfather's dream of predicting & winning the lottery & making his dream car appear, & some funny magic with his magical partner, Webster The Duck, in a kid favorite called "Slo Mo Duck", which is one that totally goes "over the head", & is one that leaves you wanting him to "do it again", which he in fact does, but again in slow motion, where all will be revealed, & a classic close up piece that had been a staple of his show for years, where he transforms a simple piece of paper into a paper rose, than into a REAL rose in "The Floating Rose". By using a mixture of music, storytelling, romance, lighting & choreography, close-up magic AND grand illusion, Copperfield creates the ultimate live theater experience for his fans, leaving them feeling full of wonder.
