David Copperfield Admits to Posting Fake Videos to Mislead Audience
Magician David Copperfield revealed in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning that he posts fake videos online to misdirect people who try to copy his illusions. Copperfield said he does it for fun and enjoys seeing people try to break down his tricks. He also shared that he follows the magician's code and declined to share details about his upcoming project, which will entail having people either disappear or fly. Copperfield, who still performs 15 shows a week, said he loves proving people wrong and making them smile, but dislikes when people call his work "magic tricks" as it diminishes the hard work that goes into creating his illusions.
