David Copperfield is not only one of the most renowned magicians in history but also a living legend in the world of magic. Born in 1956 as David Seth Kotkin, he adopted his stage name from the famous Charles Dickens' novel. Copperfield's interest in magic started at a very young age when he was merely 10 years old. He began performing magic tricks in his neighborhood and even writing his own magic catalog. His magical journey reached new heights when he was just 12 years old, as he was invited to join the Society of American Magicians. This was a turning point in his life as he got the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest magicians of his time.
I’m kind of on a glow-in-dark craze right now (it always happens during the Halloween month, since we pull out the black lights and everything glow-in-the-dark lights up so well), so here’s a glow in the dark witch. This is a really easy one, so it’s a good one to do with kids.

By age 16, Copperfield was already teaching magic classes and performing for some of the biggest audiences. However, it was in the 1980s that his career skyrocketed with numerous television specials and world tours.
Easy Glow in the Dark Witch Moon
I’m kind of on a glow-in-dark craze right now (it always happens during the Halloween month, since we pull out the black lights and everything glow-in-the-dark lights up so well), so here’s a glow in the dark witch. This is a really easy one, so it’s a good one to do with kids.
The moon itself is out of yellow poster board, so it actually looks like a moon in the light as well. The glow in the dark paint is invisible on it. Then once the lights go out, stand back and watch it glow.
(Unfortunately my camera didn’t record while I was actually making this, so I redid it just telling what I did).

Reviews for "The Charismatic Showman: David Copperfield's Unique Stage Presence"
1. Emma - 2/5
I was quite disappointed with "David Copperfield: History of Magic". While I appreciate David Copperfield as a magician, this documentary fell flat for me. The overall structure of the film was disjointed, and it felt like a random collection of magic tricks rather than a cohesive narrative. The pacing was also off, with certain tricks dragging on for too long, while others were brushed over too quickly. Overall, I found it hard to stay engaged and wished for a more captivating storyline or a deeper exploration of Copperfield's magic career.
2. Tom - 3/5
As a fan of magic and David Copperfield, I had high hopes for this documentary. However, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied. The main issue I had was with the lack of in-depth information provided. While the tricks were incredible and visually stunning, I found myself wanting more context and background on Copperfield's magic techniques. The documentary superficially touched upon the history of magic but failed to dive deeper into the art form. It felt like a missed opportunity to truly educate and enlighten the audience about the intricacies of magic.
3. Sarah - 2/5
I found "David Copperfield: History of Magic" to be quite underwhelming. While Copperfield's magic is undoubtedly impressive, the documentary lacked substance and failed to leave a lasting impact. The narrative felt disjointed, jumping from one trick to another without much explanation or context. The interviews included with Copperfield and other magicians were interesting, but they were too brief and left me wanting more. Overall, I was hoping for a more in-depth exploration of Copperfield's magic, but instead, I was left feeling unsatisfied and wanting more substance in the film.
