David Copperfield is thought by many to be the greatest magician that has ever lived. To date he has sold over 40 million tickets and grossed over $3 billion, which is more than any other solo entertainer in history – including both Elvis and Michael Jackson. He holds 11 Guiness World Records, 21 Grammy awards, he has been knighted by the French Government, he holds a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has been named a “Living Legend” by the US Library of Congress.
The above video is David’s own take on the “Sawing a Lady in halves” effect, with his typical brilliance and signature genius.

Derren Brown, master of the mental faculties – here toying with an audience of 3500 people – before then attempting to correctly guess which hand a lady is holding a coin, FOUR CONSECUTIVE TIMES. Rare footage of the masterful DB doing that which he does best – manipulating people to within an inch of their lives, alone on an empty stage.
A very naughty wizard.

Had the very greatest pleasure of working alongside the divine Nina Conti at a private engagement here in London a few weeks ago – she is too brilliant, too endearing, and too wonderful for words. Her baby son is also called Drummond; double points.

Starting on television a little over 10 years ago, Derren Brown has since come to define an era of magic in Britain. His unique interpretation of mentalism (the world of mind-reading and psychological-related magic) has set him aside and above all others – and continues to do so to this day. The above video is an interview from his early days on television, with Jonathan Ross.

In 2008 whilst living in Madrid I met Shawn whilst he was touring Europe – and have never before met someone so enthused, excited and passionate about magic. His creations are so unique to him, so heart-felt, and so very special – the above clip is just one of his very best.
His awards include being the only magician in history to win first place at the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM) for both Stage and Sleight of Hand, first place in Card Magic and the Grand Prix World Championship for Close-Up Magic, and in August 2009 he won magic’s most prestigious prize at the FISM World Championship of Magic in Beijing.
He is an incredibly kind human being, and one of the finest magicians this world has to offer.
