In Search of David Copperfield's Fountain of Youth

By Adam Leith Gollner,

Several years ago, the magician David Copperfield issued a press release stating he'd discovered the fountain of youth on his private islands in the Bahamas. "We found this liquid that in its simple stages can actually do miraculous things," Copperfield claimed. "You can take dead leaves, they come into contact with the water, they become full of life again. Bugs or insects that are near death come in contact with the water, they fly away. It's an amazing thing, very exciting."

Copperfield had hired biologists and geologists to examine the fountain's potential effects on humans. Until the tests were carried out, the magician said, he was refusing anyone else access to the water. Its precise location--a spot where "everything is more vibrant, ageless, and full of life"--is a secret.
