I have heard that he has sold his soul to satan in exchange of magic tricks he does and he has put that contract in a warehouse in Las Vegas. It is also reported that he maintains a diary in which Copperfield details how he mesmerized Siegfried and Roy's man-eating white tiger to do his evil bidding, instigating the attack that ultmately ended the heated rivalry between the Strip's two cheesiest magical acts. God knows better, but I think any kind of magic whether done through satan or just for fun is evil. Like we have through small magic tricks on birthday parties are totally evil and sin.

I do not know about the reality but this information is from George Torok who is co-author of the national bestseller "Secrets of Power Marketing". http://www.powermarketing.ca

David Copperfield - live at the MGM Grand Hotel Las Vegas! You might be fascinated to know what I discovered behind the curtain. I was lucky enough to assist him with one segment of his show. Of course I was sworn to secrecy and cannot reveal the magic behind that trick.

Watching a master at work inspired me to do more than just watch - to observe and learn. I can reveal to you the secrets of David Copperfield that you can apply to your business.

There is no magic
The first rule. Reality. You will not reach success - in any field because of magic. Copperfield does not claim magical powers. He proudly points out that it is illusion. Masterful illusion. The secret is in the mastery.

Illusion is more powerful than reality
You might wonder - "how does he do those amazing things?" And you might believe him to be embodied with special powers. Why? Because you see what he wants you to see - through the skills of direction, suggestion and having the right things hidden from view. How can you use these skills to create the right illusion for your customers?
You can create the right illusions when you understand and apply the power of communications.

People believe what they want
You can control what you want them to see but you cannot control what they believe. You can, however, influence what they believe and feel. If people want to believe in magic - they will. If your customers want to believe in you - they will. It is up to you to influence them to want to believe in you.

The audience is always right
Your customers are always right. Never argue with them. Demonstrate that you understand their position and respect their feelings. Then guide them in the direction you want to take them. Occasionally the audience did not react the way he expected or a volunteer was slow to follow instructions. Copperfield never pouted. Instead he acknowledged the misunderstanding and adapted.

Preparation is everything
Imagine the tremendous amount of rehearsal that goes into a David Copperfield production. Scripting, movement, positioning, lighting, team coordination, key words, timing, coaching. Now imagine the results if Copperfield stopped rehearsing. Have you and your people stopped rehearsing your marketing and sales messages? Imagine your improved results after you rehearse.

Prepare for the unexpected
Even with good preparation things happen. First - smile. Then continue to move the illusion in the direction you want. Don't show stress or any of the negative emotions (anger, indignation, disgust). Your customers will react to any negative emotions they perceive in you.

Believe in people
Copperfield's team moved about the stage and audience in harmony - always in the right place at the right time. They were personable, effective and efficient. The team member who volunteered me established rapport, qualified and instructed me. When it was my turn - it all happened the way he predicted.

Surround yourself with a good team. Then make them an excellent team with the right training, guidance and encouragement. Then trust their intentions and respect their abilities. Most of all - model the message and character you want them to follow.

Offer them Hope
Copperfield's illusions work - because the audience wants to believe in the possibility of magic. Your customers buy from you because of their hopes. Your staff works with you because of their hopes. You run your business out of hope. Understand how fundamental the power of hope is. Offer possibilities. Offer opportunities. Offer hope.

Make it fun
Copperfield showed that he enjoyed his work and his customers. At one point he even spoofed his own illusion by redoing it in slow motion - revealing all the goofy things that we might have missed in real time.

You are the model for your staff and your customers. Show that you are having fun. Sure you need to be serious when required. But occasionally let the child in you show through. Be impish. Flash that spark of passion. Laugh - at yourself, with your staff, with your customers. Never laugh at them. If your staff is having fun - your customers will enjoy doing business with you more. They will want to believe in your illusions - and they will tell others about you.

Be vulnerable
Copperfield's parents were in the audience. He acknowledged them. Then he told us how his father had wanted to be in show business - but did not pursue that dream because of his father's (David's grandfather) stubborn prejudice against a career in show business. David revealed an inner pain. Why? That shows that he is human like the rest of us.

Reveal a little of your inner secrets - a failure, an imperfection, an unfulfilled dream. Don't pretend to be perfect. If you do - we will hate you. Instead be real - so those around you can see and believe that you are like them - human.

Don't be seduced by the magic of technology
I was surprised to see, that before the show started, the stage was empty. No props or equipment to clutter up the message and distract our eyes from Copperfield. Yes, technology was used - as tools to support and enhance the illusion. The technology was never allowed to become the show. Clearly, Copperfield was the creator of the illusions.

Who or what is sending your messages to your customers? Do your customers mistake the technology as the center stage? Does the technology harm the relationship with your customers? Use the tools to support your message. And insure that you and your people are the center stage.

You don't need a cape
Remember Mandrake the Magician? David Copperfield looked nothing like him. In fact he was rather casually dressed. Curious, I thought. Then I realized that you don't need a cape, top hat or magic wand to create illusions. And maybe this was David's most important message to his audience. We all are capable of creating the illusions we want. If we learn the fundamentals, focus our efforts and invest in ourselves and our people.

I strongly believe that there is magic involved in his tricks, if we look at magic, it is basically illusion. People just don't want to believe that there is satan and he has some good tricks up in his sleeves because if they believe in satan then they have to believe in God. That is why they reject the possibility of satan's involvement in illusion.

blessed4ever Fri 23 Jan 2009, 8:56 am

I do not BELIEVE that satan has so much power to make someone fly and this is only a trick and nothing else. We can see all this stuff in movies and technology can make you believe some unbelievable things.

Johntheservant Fri 23 Jan 2009, 11:46 am

I agree that satan does not have such kinds of powers that would make David Copperfiled fly. This is all hoax making audience believe that it is real. With few lights, you can give a stunning effect of illusion.

What do you say servant, is it real or hoax? I believe that it is hoax and satan no such powers to make anyone fly.

The History of Levitation
Before the world became scientifically advanced with knowledge, people often believed in strange phenomenons. The ability to float or levitate has been recognised with great interest throughout the ages. Spectacular stories and even realistic events have been recorded in history. Different classes and races of people have enjoyed the power of levitation, whether it be African tribal leaders, or world famous magicians such
as David Blaine and Copperfield.

Monumental religions, including Christianity and Islam have reported extreme magical powers including levitation. The biblical references often hold fascinating stories behind them. It is believed that in the first century a man named Simon Magnus levitated himself in view of St. Peter as a challenge to prove he possessed magical powers. Levitations were also documented many years before the creation of Christianity, in the religions of Buddhism and Hinduism. Levitations during the medieval period were also not rare occurrences, and were often connected with dastardly practices such as witchcraft. Had David Blaine performed his levitation during the medieval era, I m sure he would have been brutalised by the locals.

As many centuries passed the ideas of levitation were not dissolved, and lived on. During the late 19th century Levitations were often connected with poltergeist cases. Spiritualism also helped in promoting the phenomena. The infamous Daniel Dunglus astonished hundreds of people after allegedly levitating out of a third-story window. Had David Copperfield performed his levitation over the Grand Canyon at this period of time I m sure he would be remembered as the great Satan!

With the sudden advance in intelligence and technology acts of Spiritualism, such as levitating were often counted off as personal hallucinations or frauds. With this knowledge, magicians began incorporating self-devised Levitations into entertaining magical acts.

In present day, Levitation is often referred to as street magic and
has lost its spiritualistic attributes.

However, statistics show that a large number of people in the modernised
world still believe in real life levitations. If one were to visit the inhospitable areas of tribal Africa and South America one would come across daily occurrences of spiritual acts such as levitation. Whether the accounts are real is questionable but the power of levitation is definitely not to be mistaken.

Present day Now, every man, woman or child can recreate powerful history by learning to levitate. There are plenty of resources available, and you can t go wrong with current marketed effects including Ellusionist s King Rising Levitation and Peter Lougran s The Elevator .

I do believe that Satan has enough power to make a man fly. Satan is so powerful that if we were to have a spiritual battle with him, we would loose hands down. Satan is to strong for us to fight alone. That is why we need Jesus Christ to do our battling with Satan for us. Jesus’s power is far, far, far, beyond Satan’s power.

Absolutely correct and I agree with you servant and Faithfulson. Faithfulson you are correct in saying that if we accept there is satan, then it becomes necessary to accept God's existence. Thank you for posting this video here and opening this thread.

servant Fri 23 Jan 2009, 7:34 pm

Thank you Bible Bot, you are blessed because you can sense that Chris Angel has an air of demonic power about him. What is even more amazing is that the People watching him have no idea that he is demon possessed. They think it is all smoke and mirrors. I believe that every trick he does is done with Satanic power. There are no tricks when it comes to Chris Angel- Son of Satan. I am sure if anyone of us were there we could sense demonic power present when we would be close to Chris Angel.

servant Fri 23 Jan 2009, 8:04 pm

After watching a number of Chris Angel videos on you tube, I began to feel a evil presence, the more I watched, I began to get sick, but I would just try to ignore it. Then after a few more videos I became really sick and had to throw up, and then I was fine. I think that was Jesus’s way of telling me He did not want me to watch any more of Chris Angel. I have repented. It was so strange to be fine and then be sick and then fine again. I will stay far away from Chris Angel Videos from now own. Forgive me Lord Jesus. - Servant.

There is no illusion or trick but deception and writer of deception is satan. Satan presents many things before us to deceive us and David Copperfield, David Blake and many others like him are his tools.

I agree here with Faithfulson that, many people reject satan because if they accept satan then they have to accept God also.

Bible talks of satan's powers to destroy and let us see what powers he has to destroy us.

Then the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him.” So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD. (NASB) Job 1:12

God told satan not to take Job's life. I think this is enough proof to ponder on. Secondly in Exodus 7 we read about Pharaoh and his magicians. I am giving the list of miracles they did before God, Moses and Aaron. The miracles done by Aaron by the power of God are in red and the miracles that were done by Pharaoh's magicians through the power of satan are in blue.

Moses & Aaron	Pharaoh & Magicians
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. (Exodus 7:10)	Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. (Exodus 7:11-12)
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. (Exodus 7:20)	And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said. (Exodus 7:22)
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. (Exodus 8:6)	And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. (Exodus 8:7)
And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. (Exodus 8:17)	And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. (Exodus 8:18)

However, there is a lesson to learn. All those who use satan's powers to entertain people with illusions and tricks will suffer the same fate that Pharaoh's magicians suffered.
