Biography of  David Kotkin :
David Copperfield (born David Seth Kotkin on September 16, 1956) is a world-renowned American magician and illusionist best known for his combination of spectacular illusions and storytelling. His most famous illusions include making the Statue of Liberty disappear, flying, levitating over the Grand Canyon, and walking through the Great Wall of China.
Copperfield was born in Metuchen, New Jersey, to Jewish immigrants from Russia. He began practicing magic at the age of 12, and became the youngest person ever admitted to the Society of American Magicians.[citation needed] By age 16, he was teaching a course in magic at New York University.[citation needed] At age 18, he enrolled at Fordham University, and was cast in the lead role of the Chicago-based musical The Magic Man three weeks into his freshman year.[citation needed] At age 19, he was headlining at the Pagoda Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.[citation needed]
David Copperfield played the character of Ken the magician in the 1980 horror film Terror Train. He also made an uncredited appearance in the 1994 film Prêt-à-Porter. Most of his media appearances have been through television specials and guest spots on television programs.His name is taken from the 1850 Charles Dickens novel.
In February 2006, David’s father, Hy (who often accompanied David on his many tours around the world), died in San Diego, CA. David set up a website, rememberhy.com, so fans and friends could pay tribute.
In April 2006, Copperfield and two of his female assistants were robbed at gunpoint after a performance in West Palm Beach, Florida. His assistants gave the robbers their money, passports, and a cell phone. However, according to his police statement, Copperfield did not hand over anything. (He later claimed to have used sleight-of-hand to hide his possessions.) One of Copperfield’s assistants wrote down most of the license plate number, and the suspects were later arrested.
David Copperfield said in August 2006 that he has found the “Fountain of Youth” in the southern Bahamas, amid a cluster of four tiny islands he had purchased on July 14th of that year. He claims that the water brings dead leaves back to life, and brings near dead insects back to life. He said he has hired biologists and geologists to examine its potential effect on humans. This claim echoes the precursor to many of his previous illusions and seems to predict what his next illusion will be. [wikipedia]
