Having one of the greatest magicians ever teach you a simple trick like this should be considered an honor.

I'm from Bangladesh and I spent my childhood watching his magical videos. Loved this guy.

I was blessed to see him live in Vegas this summer of 2018. I thank the higher powers for that experience, grew up watching him.

What's cool is that it's a simple trick, but it's still a trick I've never seen before. It's so important to have originality.

The best, David Copperfield is not only a Conjurer Illusionist, he has a mysterious side in him which for me makes him unique and even today is not equaled. I like conjuring but as a teenager it made me want to do it even more, I love the intrigue side that it reveals

He looks kind of like Pacino in Heat nowadays.

0:16 The sticky thumbs test was also a clever way to distract from the motion directly afterwards where he slips the coin inside the bill.
