David Copperfield (born David Seth Kotkin; September 16, 1956) is an Emmy Award-winning American illusionist, and was described by Forbes as the most commercially successful magician in history. Copperfield's network specials have been nominated for 38 Emmy Awards and won a total of 21 Emmys. Best known for his combination of storytelling and illusion, Copperfield’s career of over 30 years has earned him 11 Guinness World Records, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a knighthood by the French government, and he was named a Living Legend by the US Library of Congress. Notable illusions created and performed by David Copperfield include vanishing the Statue of Liberty, walking through the Great Wall of China, escaping from a locked safe inside an imploding building, and flying through the air night after night in his Broadway show. Copperfield has so far sold 40 million tickets and grossed over $3 billion, which is more than any other solo entertainer in history, including Madonna, Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga. He currently performs over 500 shows a year. When not performing, Copperfield creates experiences for his chain of 11 islands in the Bahamas, Musha Cay, and the Islands of Copperfield Bay, which has just completed a $35 million renovation under Copperfield's supervision.

Er gibt jedes Jahr ca. 550 Live-Shows vor ausverkauften Häusern in aller Welt. Jugend [Bearbeiten] David Kotkin, der in bürgerlichen Verhältnissen aufwuchs und dessen Eltern ein Herrenmodegeschäft in Metuchen betrieben, lernte in einem Ferienlager für Bauchredner seine ersten Zaubertricks. Nachdem der visionäre kanadische Zauberer Doug Henning die Bühnenzauberkunst stilistisch revolutioniert und das Genre âZaubermusical erfunden hatte, wurde Kotkin mit nur 17 Jahren in dem Musical The Magic Man besetzt. Anfangs hatte sich der Sohn russischer Einwanderer âDavino genannt; wegen des eleganten Klanges entschied er sich nun nach der Hauptfigur aus dem gleichnamigen Roman von Charles Dickens für David Copperfield. Schon in dieser Zeit gewann er zahlreiche Preise und Auszeichnungen amerikanischer Magierzirkel. Fernsehstar [Bearbeiten] Zauberer-Superstar Doug Henning, der auch Pionier der fernsehgerechten Zauberei gewesen war und das seit Kalanag ausgestorbene Metier âGroÃillusionsshow wiederbelebt hatte, zog sich aus der Zauberkunst überraschend zurück und verkaufte seine Requisiten an <b>...</b>
