Despite having interests in magic since his early career, Copperfield completed his academics graduating from Metuchen High School in 1974.

His Career Started When He Was Just 10 Years Old

The 64-year-old Copperfield started to practice magic from the young age of 10. He showed his magic to his neighbors with the stage name Davino the Boy Magician.

Later, he got invited to join the Society of American Magicians and became the youngest person ever to have a membership at the age of 12.

He started teaching ‘The Art of Magic’ at the New York University when he was only 16. In 1977, he was already a cast in the TV magic special titled The Magic of ABC. Interestingly, the first show amassed popularity and opened the pathway for Copperfield to feature in other TV shows. 

CBS hired him for a magic special titled The Magic of David Copperfield in 1978. Copperfield presented new illusions that were never attempted before in every special and always topped his audience's expectations until 2001.

Some of his highly anticipated acts are the disappearance of the Statue of Liberty, walking through the Great Wall of China, Lucky #13, and vanishing a jet airplane.

In 1996, David created and co-produced the show, Dreams and Nightmares, on Broadway and fulfilled his dream of performing on Broadway. The 25-days-long show became so hit at the time that it ended up breaking all the records of the box office. 

The same year, he wrote a book titled 'David Copperfield’s Tales of the Impossible' in collaboration with Dean Koontz, Joyce Oates, and Ray Bradbury. The book also ended up as a huge success, and his inspiration to publish the second volume.

Likewise, he happens to be the highest-paid magician in several years, including 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. 

Copperfield owns a private resort in the Bahamas that consists of eleven islands and calls it  ‘The Islands of Copperfield Bay.’ The resort was bought by him in 2006 and is worth more than $50 million.

He also has a lavish house in northwest Las Vegas that he bought for $17.55 million in June 2016.

In addition to that, he owns a four-story Manhattan penthouse, Musha Cay at Copperfield Baya, and the world’s largest museum of magic history.
