Many Many years ago. I was 6 watching the Mike Douglas show. A young David Copperfield was on. I watched in amazement. Later that year my family was in New York having dinner. I looked up and saw him 3 tables away. I told my dad and asked if we could go meet him. I walked over and said ur Mr. Copperfield. Can I have ur autograph. He said sure kid they cost $5. I said I don't have $5. Without a pause he said sure u do and pulled 5 $1 coins from my ear. I looked amazed. He shook my dad's hand, and walked away. Wat a class act

I saw David Copperfield near the beginning of his career in the early 80's. This was in Dallas TX. I was sitting on the aisle about 30 rows from the stage. With a wave of his hand, he disappeared. Barely 5 seconds later the spotlight came on right next to me. There stood David Copperfield. I got his autograph in the lobby after the show. Pretty amazing. Thanks Bob

This happened to me as well. My sister and I went to see him in Cleveland, sitting about the same distance you did he disappeared and appeared right next to me. I almost fell out of my chair!!!

like many others, i grew up watching his specials, and stayed awake late at night trying to figure out how he did his illusions. one day my parents picked me up from jr high early and drove me to ft worth, it happened to be my birthday. when we got downtown, i saw several of his trucks with his image and it hit me...i was going to get to see him live! a few years later, my best friend took me to see him in dallas, also on my birthday, lol. i got to see two of my favorite illusions: the fan, and the cocoon. he walked by me during one of those shows, but i never got an autograph. i need to see his show in vegas to complete my journey!

@zackpercellvo7923 2 года назад

Yup. Seen him live over 40 times in my life. Had the chance to meet and talk to him a couple of times. Super nice, down to earth guy. The GOAT, for sure.

@michellefinisdore8975 2 года назад

I have also watched him since I was a kid, but this past July I lived my dream and finally saw him live. My family and friends paid for my trip knowing how much I had done for them this past year. My sister paid for my meet and greet seat, mom and sister paid for my hotel room and my PT paid for my air fare. Meeting him after the show was magical. He signed my shirt, he knew my name from twitter and gave me a personalized autograph on his picture and I got to help him with the backstage illusion. I loved every second and am hoping to go back in spring!!

Lifelong dream to see his show live and FINALLY did this Aug with my youngest son, front row seats 😊 and LOVED it! And his narrative about his father was so timely for us having recently lost his dad and a few months later my son, his middle brother... family is why we do what we do to succeed and persevere💙💙💙

I was fortunate to be able to see him 4 times, the first was the best simply for the venue and the illusions he performed. Each show was better with new magic but the first was the most impressive to me.

One of the best interviews he's done. It's great to see an interviewer who did some actual homework, and didn't just ask the same 5 dumb questions to Copperfield. It's also the most real I've seen Copperfield be. I think it's great to see that at 66 he's become comfortable enough to just kind of hang out. Also a nice homage to Channing Pollock's charm. Bravo!

Wow that was awesome thanks for sharing I have had the opportunity to meet him a few times, what a great down to earth gentleman. I remember watching a rubber band trick he did and I had to rewind the VHS tape to try to figure it out, I couldn’t but I came up with my own way to do it😀 Thanks for his inspiration

My comment is not about Copperfield, but the two female “news” presenters: I find their ludicrous 4-5” Stiletto heels to be worse than inappropriate! I find them outright offensive... What kind of message are their (dangerous and painful to walk in) spiked heels sending to young girls?! That no matter what their jobs are to be once they’ve grown up, they must come across as Sex Objects? Really? In 2021?! We might as well be back in the (very misogynist) 1970’s! MEMO TO CBS STYLISTS: Grow up, and give these female employees equal dignity and gravitas to their male co-workers! There is NO historical context for Stilettos, that does not involve misogyny, or women in the workplace being sexually objectified. That a major television broadcasting company, in 2021, should NOT know better than this, is well beyond appalling: It is reprehensible, misogynistic, and must STOP NOW!!
