David Copperfield, born David Seth Kotkin in September 16, 1956, has become the most famous living magician on the planet. This article charts his meteoric rise.
Early Life
Raised in Metuchen, New Jersey, to Jewish parents, Rebecca and Hyman Kotkin, David had quite an introverted personality. His mother was an insurance adjuster and his father owned and ran his own haberdashery. When David was ten years old he became ‘Davino, the Boy Magician’.
A prodigious talent, at the age of 12 David was the youngest ever to enter the Society of American Magicians. His heros were less the magicians that had gone before but rather the stars of stage and screen. ‘My idols were Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra. People who took the art form and really moved the audience.‘
Magic Career
By the age of 16 David had become so successful that he taught a magic course at New York University at the tender age of 16.
At the age of 18, after becoming a student of Fordham University, David Kotkin took a back seat and David Copperfield was born out of Dicken’s eponymous book, David Copperfield. One year later David Copperfield found himself as the main headline act at the Pagoda Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.
What hurtled Copperfield’s star trajectory was his TV appearances. An ABC TV special, ‘The Magic of ABC’ was hosted by Copperfield in 1977. He appearance on the show was so successful that Copperfield has had over 20 TV specials since that time to the present day.
Some of his most memorable illusions on TV include flying, levitating over the Grand Canyon, making the Statue of Liberty disappear, walking through the Great Wall of China and making an Orient Express carriage disappear in front of a ring of spectators. |
