Foundation 33 // David Copperfield

In this episode of my Foundation video series, I travel to Las Vegas to interview famed illusionist, magician, and entrepreneur David Copperfield. David explains how he combines magic with storytelling, recounts the moment when Francis Ford Coppola taught him to text, and shares his theory that people who are eternally curious are never truly satisfied.

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I had the pleasure of meeting David when he performed in Utica NY several years ago. (He gives great hugs.) I am still amazed at his talent and charm. He is very personable, down-to-earth, and fascinating. I sat and watched every slight of hand, etc. He was right in the audience near me performing an illusion, and I was mesmerized. I am now 66 and have seen him 2 more times, and still sit in awe! I will continue to attend his performances, anytime he is here in upstate NY. Thank you to David Copperfield for sharing his illusions!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@Kev2662]

Seen him in Vegas....loved it.....great interview Kev!

[@griselgarcia2805]

Love it! I always remember Mr.Copperfield and his awesome magic... Hi from Mexico!

[@wardelliaenoch8936]

As a paraprofessional librarian I appreciate the magicians who found books there to get information about their future craft. Considering how many are trying to close down libraries. They forget it is a FREE source of information for EVERYONE. Not just books. Free access to computers, audio video materials, programs for all ages and various interests, etc. Thank you for the shout-out.🙋🏾🤗

one of the best copperfield interviews ive ever seen.. great job

[@akanetendo7214]

This man makes the Magic when he smiles ❤️ simply!!! i love him!!!

[@yokkabai]

What a great interview - I really appreciated how candid and relaxed he was. You can really tell he loves inventing and working on challenging problems in his field. I went to one of his shows when I was a kid, and got an autograph. I still remember it to this day.

[@djdaz411]

great interview Kevin.

[@TheWisestWizards]

Great interview, could have listened to his stories for hours!

[@RandoPandaSmiles]

Kevin - you let the interviewee speak, and that is so essential, and yet most interviewers fail to do that. True, the audio engineering is slightly lacking, but content trumps tech issues. Next time your engineer should be careful about setting the preamps so high on his condenser microphones. Perhaps try some attenuation on a lapel mic. And use a separate floor mic to pic up audience response, and blend in as needed.

[@undermoonlightglow]

A great interview.

[@JasonHoningford]

I was wondering where David went! Las Vegas apparently!

[@priceandpride]

that hair is magic

[@ketanpaul]

Thanks so much for this Kevin! Brilliant interview!

[@ColeMarkusen]

Been looking forward to this one. Thanks, guys!

[@juliocesarespinosagalvez4261]

Great Content

[@user-hq2uk1yq2x]

Great man!

[@stirlingfromla]

Why is there a bright LIGHT in my eyes....who set up the lighting????

[@TacticalXRays]

"we demand to be taken seriously"

[@mystationHD]

Awesome interview but miss the one on one format with no audience. It brought a better side out of the entrepreneurs.

[@Jah044445]

You should get Josh Topolski and/or Nilay Patel on an episode, Kevin! The Verge's seemingly sudden entrance to tech journalism, and with such quality content, is definitely something I'd like to hear more insight on.

[@CyrilViXP]

David, I am amazed more when I know the secret. Honestly. I appreciate performance more than the “magic”

[@synette]

Great interview but the audio has some issues.

[@joeazmanzainal9161]

voice more valuable than internet protocol

[@javierbaldrich]

Cool!

[@lukychmz]

[@moejordan811]

[@phototristan]

[@user-qc2ky3uy9q]

Cool and look up Moon shapes in the sky Copperfield

[@YeOldePirateMaster]

David copperfield seems like an old dude that loves to tell his life stories to people that are pretty interested, but would prefer more time to talk...

David Copperfield tarbell course in magic mind reading illusion its called menta pen there are so far eight voulme books

[@atoosas]

How do you know it was Copperfield that got her fired? May be it was someone else? May be she made other inappropriate comments to other guests. That's not a very professional thing for your ex to say, but you said she is an ex, so ...

[@marcostleung]

Mentioning about Elon Musk again?

[@rafaehlers]

Bill Gates own Da Vinci's Codex btw!

[@JoshCano]

So much echo..

[@kallyanighoshkallyanighosh8399]

[@mgdiaz2158]

What? What are you trying to say?

[@adan7182]

No audience needed.

[@RandoPandaSmiles]

boo

[@fabioadias]

He doesn't really answer some of Kevin's questions... :/ he ends up telling a huge story and misses the point of the question.

[@Maine1one1]

Fantastic interview.

[@sanewave]

[@sanewave]

[@sanewave]
