I'm David CopperfieId and you're about to see a whole lotta of magic For me, watching this retrospective is like looking thru a high school yearbook It's got some of my best illusions some of the worst haircuts put on film and clothing choices that kept the '70s alive At the end, we've added some recent pieces, created for our Broadway show So sit back and take a look at 1 5 years of magic Well, actually, 20 years of magic I started very young David Okay, go I dunno where to begin I've been doing magic all my life I love magic. I love magic that's intimate but I also love magic that's spectacular, like the year I decided to vanish a train I had taken a ride with the Orient Express and I knew I had to do something with it Well, it took me a year to find a train car and a year to work out the illusion A train car from the Orient Express It weights 70 tons That's 140,000 pounds It's 85 feet of steel and iron A million dollars was spent just to restore it A train on its tracks set on a floor of solid concrete A group of spectators will surround the train Holding hands forming a circle around it Our camera this shot will never cut away No camera edits, no video effects You'll see it at home just like you'd see it if you were here with me Take a good look 'cause in a few seconds the train we're in right now hopefully won't be here anymore Everybody, pick up your ropes Cover cloth Keep your hands together There are no camera tricks? No. All the magic is done live What you see at home is exactly what you'd see if you were there with a live audience And what's the most dangerous thing you've ever done? See these spikes? For a year I practiced hanging up side down bound and strapped from ropes 10 stories in the air Then we set the ropes on fire I had two minutes to escape before the ropes burned thru But on the night of the T.V. special to make it a bit more interesting, we added these spikes beneath me I was up there in the air and I looked down on the spikes and that really freaked me out I didn't wanna just do an escape I wanna combine it with the ritualistic challenges that took in the jungles of African and the Amazon Ceremonially tests of commitment courage They'll hoist me 10 stories above the spikes I remember looking down and the thought of falling on them didn't make me very happy I didn't wanna die that way Don't try this at home I hate these spikes I do 500 show a year and people think I'm crazy But I really love it What I Love the most is interacting with the audience You never know what to expect It's different every night and the weirdest thing can happen Thank you very, very much You know, something really weird has been happening to me I keep getting these premonitions You know when you think of something and then it comes true later on? Well, I've been able to predict graffiti Yeah, where it's gonna happen when it's gonna happen and what it's gonna say In fact, I brought with me a... brick wall tonight I got it from East Berlin They weren't using it anymore And I've made a prediction inside this envelope here It's on a big piece of paper It's a big drawing that I made before the show. Actually it's a painting It's got some numbers, some colors a picture I'm not gonna show it to you just yet I'm gonna leave it sealed inside the envelope I'm gonna hang it from this lamp right here And I'm not gonna touch it I do need to borrow a lady from the audience and I'm gonna do that by throwing these bricks Maybe I should just get her myself What's your name? Tiffany. Big hand for Tiffany Have we ever met before? No No. We're gonna try to find some other people we've never met before We're gonna do that with this brick It's a rubber brick, so don't worry it's gonna come right at you Tiffany, you're gonna throw it into the audience when I tell you to Turn your back to the audience If it comes close to you, catch it I need a guy to catch this brick so show what a man you really are Tiffany, whip it good. Go for it Go for it? Yep Incredible distance there You, sir What is your favorite wild animal?

In unison No Look up unison Come over here Stand right over here This envelope has been hanging in full view the entire time I haven't touched it If the picture I made before the show matches the picture we made That will be a miracle Tiffany, hold on to this corner right there. Hold it up high A blue tiger. Check it out Does this not impress you? It's even new Hold on that corner there. Hold it up Hold it up nice and high. D.G. 661 -9737 You chose the color red. Check it out And Dick Loves Judy Sorry, Harvey This place is amazing It's filled with magical mystery What do you mean? Look inside that trunk That's Houdini's trunk When I got it I looked inside and I found a piece of paper with Houdini's own instructions on how he was gonna do the illusion that night It's a classic of magic called Metamorphosis Houdini would tie up his wife, Bess Lock her inside the trunk and very quickly they changed places I've always wanna do an illusion like that It's taken me 1 4 years to find a way to make my own When I look back over the past 15 years I realize I spent most of that time creating new illusions I grew up in New Jersey My mom was in insurance My dad owned a men's clothing store Before I was in my teens I thought it would be cool to become a ventriloquist It turned out this place that sold props for ventriloquist is also a magic shop So instead walking out with a new dummy I ended up with a bag of tricks I started doing little shows in my home town When I was 1 8, I got this part in a musical called ''The Magic Man'' I got to do my own illusions and sing And the longer the play ran the more illusions I performed and the less songs they wanted me to do So I guess I wasn't cut out to be a singer When the show closed I starved in New York for a year and my dad would slip me a few bucks to pay the heating bill I sat in my apartment, inventing magic finding the right music and staging the routines I knocked on a lotta doors and sent out a lotta videotapes One day I got a phone call to host a T.V. show I was 19 and I couldn’t believe it My first few specials were to music by Gershwin My inspirations were Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire I thought I was really cool I wore big collars, shiny jackets and a bad haircut On my fourth special, I wanna go beyond what had been done before So I took that shiny jacket and that bad haircut and made an airplane disappear A seven ton jet aircraft surrounded by scaffolding 12 feet high This runway is a solid karmlock base The plane can't go down, can't go up This switch controls the lights at the back of the enclosure When the translucent front wall is up the lights will back up the plane, casting its silhouette on the wall So you can see the plane right up to the moment it vanishes The plane is locked into place It will be surrounded by a human chain 50 spectators linked together The spectators are being blindfolded to protect the secret of the illusion Hold hands till I say let go Let's do it This shot won't cut away You'll see it as if you were there with absolutely no camera tricks If you can hear me, raise your hand Now Take your blinds off. We did it I couldn’t believe it If I had been sitting at home I could think of some way to get outta it But I was right here, and there was no way that plane could’ve left It's just amazing What happened to the airplane? I dunno. It went It went Thrilling, it was shocking You had chills What did you think when you when they...they drop it and you took down your blindfold and it was gone? It's emphatical We put together a brand new illusion We're auctioning off a brand new illusion The pieces I'm most proud of The Airplane. The Train The Flying. The Great Wall The Burning Rope Escape and one other is the Death Saw Give me an example of how you try to make your magic different Well, there's a sensual side to magic that hadn't really been touched To me, it wasn't just about doing tricks It was about taking the audience to another place A special place so they could really suspend their disbelief It was about relationships Moving the audience as well as amazing them It was about sharing a feeling Sometimes romantic, sometimes funny Sometimes grand and spectacular Sometimes daring And sometimes sensual Dave when the audience applauds like that you have to say something, like... Very endearing back to them. OK Repeat after me. I have never felt... Never felt OK, a little softer now I have never felt... I have never felt... So, so much Love So much Love In one room before You're a regular Wayne Newton... Dave It's very good You Love your audience. I like that The Statue Of Liberty Standing 305 feet high and weighing 450,000 pounds I was gonna make her disappear We constructed two scaffolding towers on Liberty Island in front of the statue And had a helicopter to give an aerial view of the illusion The audience on Liberty Island was seated here 200 feet in front of the statue A circle of lights surrounds the statue and shines upon it A curtain would be raised between the towers to hide the statue from view If I successfully vanish the statue Searchlights would pass thru the empty space that was occupied just moments before We even had radar to show the statue's position In front of a live audience on Liberty Island the disappearance of The Statue Of Liberty There's that jacket again Right about now I'm thinking I hope this works Entire thing. It just disappeared What happened, where it was gone I have no idea No idea where it went to It was fascinating to watch it I tell you. If I was home watching T.V I'd be a little skeptical But I was here. I knew it was there now it's not there I dunno what happened to it When that curtain went down and there was nothing there I just couldn’t believe it Your reaction? I was amazed I don't see it It was there and it's not there anymore I've never seen a Statue Of Liberty disappear the way this one did And as the audience watched I brought her back So David, what surprises you? Well, I spend months of time and energy working on these huge illusions, but sometimes it's the small stuff, the pure slight of hand the audience really relates to I need to borrow a gentleman from the audience Let me see what I can find here Yeah, really Oh, boy! He can make the Statue of Liberty disappear but he can't walk down a set of steps What about the people you work with? It's weird, but the culture of my craft is sometimes strange For centuries, magicians have been taking their assistants and sticking swords thru them or cutting them in half It's as much a part of magic history |
