 David
Copperfield to receive the "Living Legend" medal by the
Library of Congress during their bicentennial celebration on
Monday Apr. 24 where he is scheduled to perform. Copperfield is
quoted, "I'm a big fan of the Library of Congress. They have
an enormous number of sources for magic and recommendations for
magic, and they have half of Harry Houdini's original library.
I've got the other half – 80,000 different things, not just
books but tons of stuff. I keep it in a secret location in Area
51." He also implied that he would like to get married and
have children. To read the Apr. 18 article by Lloyd Grove and Beth Berselli which appeared in The Washington Post click: HERE.(4/20)
