He has this unique combination of smugness and sweetness. It’s like he’s 60 years old and still able to get away with making a doody in your sock drawer like a toddler.

Why does it feel like David’s video feed is coming from the 80s? It’s so strange that he looks like he’s in 40s despite being 65 as well

I wasn't going to post anything but then I saw your comment. I literally feel like Seth is in 2021 interviewing Erik Estrada or someone from the 70s or 80s. It's the WEIRDEST sensation. Copperfield needs a new 'do, I'm sorry.

@John-ct9zs Месяц назад

@@EmpyreanLightASMR LMAO, Erik Estrada

@John-ct9zs Месяц назад

He DOES not look like a 40 year old, or 45 year old. Come on. He looks his age, like he's 65-70. He doesn't even look 55 to me. He had a cooler haircut in the late 80s through the 90s. In this video he has 70s/early 80s do, but it looks like a wig. Not sure.

SpaceX will be there soon, just hold on tightly. Your other option is to break into the rocket carrying the lander that has his book stored on it. I think you'll find it at kennedy space center launch pad #1 around 2 am, no one will be looking. Just break in, take the book (or read it and take old-timey snapshots of it).

@justsayin5609 2 года назад

I 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.

Me: Nickel is non-ferrous isn't it, a metal detector can't pick that up, right? Wait, can it? *Googles* " Nickel is not as good as silver or copper when it comes to electrical conductivity, yet it has enough to be detected by metal detectors. So, when a metal detector generates electromagnetic field any target made from nickel will trigger electric current. Consequently, your device will be able to see it accurately." Neat, I learned something new.

The first accuser was eventually arrested after accusing another man of the same thing she'd accused Copperfield of doing, but surveillance video of her with the man and alone in the hotel elevator showed she'd lied. There was a second accusation made by someone who'd seen news of the first accusation, but that seems to have gone nowhere.
