Don't Buy The Lie

Do magicians like David Copperfield and David Blaine have any real power?

Nope. Well, they have the power to get specials on TV, but that’s about it. I’ve actually hired some of the people who work with David Copperfield to help me come up with illusions for my performances. They’re great at tricking people.

It’s easy to get spooked when we “see” David Blaine levitate in broad daylight or Copperfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear. But it’s all just trickery.
