David Copperfield says he's found Fountain of Youth
By Jane Sutton Tue Aug 15
The man who made the Statue of Liberty appear to vanish may soon claim to do the same for unsightly bags and wrinkles.
Master illusionist David Copperfield says he has found the "Fountain of Youth" in the southern Bahamas, amid a cluster of four tiny islands he recently bought for $50 million (26.4 million pounds).
One of his islands in the Exuma chain, Musha Cay, is a private resort that rents for up to $300,000 a week and the other islands serve as buffers to keep prying eyes away from celebrity guests on the white sand beaches.
Copperfield is coy about his reasons for the Fountain of Youth claim, but the man best known for entertaining with grand deception insists his archipelago also contains the legendary waters that bestow perpetual youth. Seriously.
"I've discovered a true phenomenon," he told Reuters in a telephone interview. "You can take dead leaves, they come in contact with the water, they become full of life again. ... Bugs or insects that are near death, come in contact with the water, they'll fly away. It's an amazing thing, very, very exciting."
Copperfield, who turns 50 next month, said he had hired biologists and geologists to examine its potential effect on humans but he's not inviting visitors to swim in or drink from it just yet.
If it's in my house death is imminent.

Why? He's very entertaining. More fun than watching my Brownies lose!!!
You've got that right. I can just picture the earth worshiping liberals flocking down there and paying thousands for a dip in mother earths womb water.
$300,000 a week? Well, he certainly found a way to make rich people' money disappear! Can you imagine being so rich that a week's vacation at $300,000 sounds reasonable???? UNBELIEVABLE.
How does one know if a bug or insect is near death?
or if a bug is a crawler how does it fly away?
Well, that's easy. The magic youthful water can also give it new attributes.
IMO, that story had nothing to do with the fountain of youth, he just said that because he probably is doing some twenty year old.
"I will make your money....*disappear!*"
He wears more makeup than those models he dates.
Hopefully I can buy some of this stuff to bring my pet rock back to life. He just sits there...
What is so disturbing about that?
LOL
Paging Art Bell, please pick up on wildcard line...
I'm not saying he's entertaining, but that is a lot of entertaining! I think i am more shocked, than anything, that he is paid so well.
Browns will do better this year. Some nice offseason acquisitions. Plus, Kellen Jr. is back right?
No! It's called "Viagra."
The fact that he has it. Did you not read the post? LOL.
And for his next trick, he will make $300,000 disappear!
