RENOWNED ILLUSIONIST DAVID COPPERFIELD TO OFFER PERSONAL ESSAY ON THIS
I BELIEVE SEGMENT ON ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, AUGUST 21

Essay Examines Copperfield’s Belief in the Gift of Kindness

Washington, D.C.; August 16, 2006; Renowned illusionist David
Copperfield discusses his father’s influence and the impact of
kindness in an essay for the NPR series This I Believe airing on All
Things Considered, Monday, August 21. Inspired by newsman Edward R.
Murrow’s 1950’s radio program of the same name, This I Believe
features Americans from all walks of life expressing their core
beliefs and values in short, personal essays.

Copperfield’s increasing belief in the importance of kindness began
with his father, who passed away a week before Copperfield wrote his
essay. Referring to his father, Copperfield says, “he practiced
kindness to everyone, including people he didn’t know, and people he
knew too well. For my father, being kind was natural...I have to
really work at it. I love competing and winning, conquest—not words
you usually associate with kindness.”

Dubbed by the U.S. Library of Congress as a “Living Legend”,
Copperfield is one of the world’s most well-known illusionists. He
began his professional magic career at the age of 12. He has made the
Statue of Liberty disappear and walked through the Great Wall of
China. In 1982, Copperfield founded Project Magic, a rehabilitation
program to help disabled patients regain lost or damaged dexterity
skills.

Copperfield joins an impressive list of well-known essayists who have
contributed to the series since its premiere on April 4, 2005,
including former Secretary of State Colin Powell; Senator John McCain;
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; skateboarding icon Tony Hawk;
magician Penn Jillette; activist Gloria Steinem; author John Updike;
psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison and scientist Brian Greene.

This I Believe also features the work of NPR listeners who have
submitted nearly 15,000 essays ranging from revelations about parents,
personal struggles, race and identity to the importance of feeding
monkeys.
