The First Magic Trick David Copperfield Ever Learned

David Copperfield didn’t start off levitating or making the Statue of Liberty disappear. Here he performs the very first magic trick he learned, long before he was referred to as the world’s most successful magician.

How many camera cuts do you want?

David Copperfield: Yes

[squierstrat]

His greatest piece of magic was actually boning claudia schiffer

[kymanib]

You can see the lines on the board it’s cut in the middle

I have never seen this before
And I absolutely loved it!

I never want to know how this is done
Because it looks so good 👍🏼

As a kid in the 80s,
I remember watching him make the Statue of Liberty disappear
And when he passed his body through the great wall of China

When I was young I thought that was the greatest thing I have ever seen

Awesome 😊

That's a nice bit of technical wood work rite there🙌

[charliek]

You can see the cutout in the middle of the board hahahahahahahhaah

[TommyAventador]

There’s a cutout in the centre of the board where he tilts to slide the coin in and out, that’s why he tilts it! Now make that wig disappear.

Look closer at the square piece on the board. His left finger pulls a secret switch underneath. Hehe.

I sat down to watch a video of a magic show and slowly realized it was "David cop a feel"

[Chrissy]

I like how there is enough detail for me to see the door in the board still smooth hand work

[bobbyfischer]

The only magic here is the guy convincing him to buy that wig

[steveanderson]

Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hair.

[Slcslcslc]

cool you cut the video like 4 times. super magical that way

[jonathanhartz]

David, huge fan! Thanks for sharing!!

[stang]

First of all I love this guy. I haven't seen him in quite some years. Why does his hair look like Justin bieber?

[MasterKcoop]

Those four tiles in the middle look oddly suspicious

[apenneukende]

He has the body language of lee harvey oswald.

[tomfranklin]

My dad bought this trick. Bought it at a fair in Connecticut
In the early 80s at a fair by a lake. It was his first magic trick. He was in his 40s at the time.

Super slick board. Simple tilt she GONE!

[martinverbeek]

It has a rotating squire in the middle. Magnet on one side for the coin and one empty side.
