David Copperfield's Fountian of Youth???

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060815/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_copperfield

David Copperfield says he found the real fountain of youth and that it revives dead things to life. (Brown crispy dead leaves become green and healthy) But he is unwillinging to share the fountain with otehr people. (Atleast until it is tested)

Couple questions here:
1. Do you believe it?
2. If it is true, is there any scientific reasoning behind it?
3. If you had to God-like magical item that could help others, would you hoard it all to yourself?
4. If it is true, how much do you think he will charge for its use?

Answer 1

1. No I don't believe it. I think he is preparing for his next big illusion.

2. If it is true, only the scientists will be able to tell us that.

3. Absolutely not. I would do as much good as I possibly could.

4. Too much for the average person.

Answer 2

1. Maybe it's possible... It's probably some kind of chemical or something that happens to revive leaves, but I doubt it will really make an old person young again. That's just physically impossible, and physics stop for no man INCLUDING David Copperfield.
2. Not that I know of
3. Definitely not! Good things only last for a little while so you might as well throw it around as long as you can! Plus you could probably sell it for a lot of money.
4. Depends how much he claims you need for it to "activate". I'd say $2,500 an oz.

Answer 3

1. Do you believe it? Yes, it works only for him, because he is magician
2. If it is true, is there any scientific reasoning behind it? N o comment.
3. If you had to God-like magical item that could help others, would you hoard it all to yourself? No, because I know it's only trick
4. If it is true, how much do you think he will charge for its use?No comment.

Some comments:
1. Have you ever seen some moisturizer adverstisement? Leaf will be healtier (Not being so crispy) after polished with moisturizer. But how turn to be green, i don't know.
2. Yes, many tricks come along with chemicals, sleight of hands, manipulation, mis-direction, light bending effect, etc. Mr David has known all. But he is not proffessor. Many tricks if be explained scientificaly. It is not a magic. We call it magic, because something is hidden from our eyes.
3. It's depend on ethic code, and oath. Magician have an oath.
4. Only for entertainment, not for public.
5. Many people say he use extreme power, energy, beyond our imagination. But I don't care, it's entertainment.

Answer 4

It costs $300,000 per week to go to Copperfield's resort in the Bahamas. It would take me a whole lifetime to save up that much money for a week's vacation.

Besides, back in about the 5th grade I read that the Fountain of Youth was discovered in Florida by Juan Ponce de León after he was looking for it in Bimini.

Finally, it's cheaper to go to Lourdes, France. And, their water might even really work. People do not usually die from aging. It is disease that claims their lives.

Oh yah, Copperfield's real name is David Kotkin. He was performing professionally in his home town of Metuchen, New Jersey, at the age of twelve. Soon thereafter, he became the youngest person ever to be admitted to the Society of American Magicians.

Answer 5

wow, i had not heard that..but I've got to tell you it's been well century's that people have been searching after the "fountain of youth" and all these people in all these years..David Copperfield..an publicity seeking "artist" finds it on his personally property...makes you go hum mm doesn't it? It's hard to imagine that any liquid flowing naturally from the earth has such regenerative abilities..because if that was true, the earth wouldn't be in such bad shape now would it..the grass would always be green and healthy..no tree's would ever die..I think it's great he thinks he found something..and he is getting the publicity he's been after but lets not carry this whole illusion to far, it would send the world into A frenzy.

Answer 6

Listen! David Copperfield is a professional entertainer. They all have to keep up their performance. Sure, it's a gimmick. There is no such thing as the fountain of youth. David found a way to intrigue his audiance once again and continue his carreer. Just watch and be entertained by a gifted man who has learned the art of illusions. Enjoy, but don't be fooled.

Answer 7

He's full of it. He's a magician. It's a trick or an optical illusion.
It's total BS.

1. No.
2. No b/c it's total BS. Unless he has found a chemical composition to make cells regenerate, then no. Plus this won't work on objects that have been dead for too long. There's too much damage after a body dies.
3. I dunno. I'm probably a bad person to ask b/c I'm fairy selfish. Sorry but it's true. So yeah...probably.
4. More than you and I could ever afford. "IF" it existed. Why? B/c it takes a lot of money to live (retire) forever. =P

Answer 8

I asked about this earlier too. I'm wondering if there's some strange, revitalizing chemical in the water? But to change a leaf from brown to green? That's pretty extreme.

If he is really concerned about testing this and using it for the good of humanity, wouldn't he have a joint-global scientific committee working on this round the clock, trying to figure out how it works and how it can benefit humanity?

I think there's something rotten in the state of Denmark.

Answer 9

i heard about this yesterday on CNN!

i don't know i think its totally whacky.. it seems very odd.. i mean if it was just some no body who found it .. it might be like pish posh yeah right..
but being david copperfield he's perhaps more reliable.. i suppose.. he could be doing it for publiciity..

um i don't think i believe in the fountain of youth.. if i had it.. i would make sure i could enjoy it.. as well as everyone i care about.. i'm not sure if i'd want to live forever especially with the state of the world..

i think if he did charge he shouldn't charge more than 100 in us dollars

Answer 10

David can be a draw close of phantasm yet I doubt he's valuable adequate to discover the Fountain of sweet 16. I recommend all of us recognize that in his overall performance wherein he "flew" or pierced by skill of the entire Wall of China isn't actual. It grow to be no longer him yet in basic terms a photo of him being portrayed by technique of the used of "magic". I meant i'm constructive that the different psychics who went to work out his instruct knows that its grow to be no longer him who's flying around the theatre yet is yet another being. He gained't instruct his secrets and techniques yet they're those who knew of the flaws he had learnt about the historic arts. So inspite of if he claimed that he got here around the fountain of sweet 16, I doubt its actual.
