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.
"Or, you can get a prescription for some even better lithium compounds. Make you feel better all time."
Yowzaa! I'll take two.
LOL!
sw
Curses!!! Foiled again! ;oD
You know the Jewish saying "next year in Jerusalem?" We have a similar saying for the Browns!
As for Copperfield. He's worth every penny! I saw him years ago - close seats - I was totally blown away. It's freaky, he's so good.
I guess this is a good advertisement for him, since now I am curious. I think I saw a special on tv he did maybe 15-18yrs ago?
i love that the Browns have not changed their uniforms or tried to add any amount of flair. old school!
We know how Copperfield keeps himself feeling young.
Continuing to perform magic acts with healthy young beautiful ladies, no matter what his age is.
They become very pale, their little eyes roll back in their heads, they roll over on their little backs and their little legs are extended into the air. If you see one you should immediately blow gently on it and then sprinkle a little, tiny bit of water on it. Be careful that you don't get the water in it's little nose.
That's the thing with magicians. When you see them on tv, it always looks a little hokey, but when you are literally 20 feet from them, it is utterly amazing. My son, husband and I still talk about Copperfield.
His opening stunt, which I will never forget, involved 4 very lovely women who come out very gracefully, carrying long torch-like poles w/lights on top of the poles (just plain lightbulbs) - they did a little dance like number - the poles also had some type of scarf on them - a white billowy thing. As they pranced around, they wound the scarfy things and eventually made a square tent-like structure - no roof. The women stayed inside - you could see their shadows and the lights going around as they continued their "dance." Then they all blended together and instead of 4 lights, there was one light; next thing you know you hear this very loud roar and the scarf-tent thing comes down and there's Copperfield on a Harley and the light is the headlight.
Well, if you look at it THAT way, sure, yeah, it does sound a bit expensive.
But, it seems a lot more reasonable when you consider that it only costs about fifty cents... a second. :)
go see the Amazing Jonathan, but don't take the kids.
his opening bit was a simple card guessing stunt, but his lovely assistant forgot to bring a blindfold. AJ went into a rage and stapled playing cards to the gals eyelids, screaming "I bet you remember the blindfold next time!"
maybe you had to be there ...
Didn't she marry the singer, Seal?
There is hope yet for Helen Thomas.
Claudia Schiffer is not Heidi Klum. I know, all babes look the same . . . |
She also didn't marry Kid Rock. (It's like a babe Xerox machine!) |
