Magician

Known for tricks such as making the Statue of Liberty disappear, illusionist David Copperfield is still the most prominent name in magic today. He’s won 21 Emmys and boasts 11 Guinness World Records, including selling more tickets than any other solo entertainer — Michael Jackson and Elvis included. He earns his money performing at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where he hosts a residency show. Fittingly, Copperfield owns the world’s largest collection of magic artifacts.
