MIAMI (Reuters) - The man who made the Statue of Liberty appear to vanish may soon claim to do the same for unsightly bags and wrinkles.

Master illusionist David Copperfield says he has found the "Fountain of Youth" in the southern Bahamas, amid a cluster of four tiny islands he recently bought for $50 million.

One of his islands in the Exuma chain, Musha Cay, is a private resort that rents for up to $300,000 a week and the other islands serve as buffers to keep prying eyes away from celebrity guests on the white sand beaches.

Copperfield is coy about his reasons for the Fountain of Youth claim, but the man best known for entertaining with grand deception insists his archipelago also contains the legendary waters that bestow perpetual youth. Seriously.

"I've discovered a true phenomenon," he told Reuters in a telephone interview. "You can take dead leaves, they come in contact with the water, they become full of life again. ... Bugs or insects that are near death, come in contact with the water, they'll fly away. It's an amazing thing, very, very exciting."

Copperfield, who turns 50 next month, said he had hired biologists and geologists to examine its potential effect on humans but he's not inviting visitors to swim in or drink from it just yet.




Either he's desperate for visitors to his resort or he's made his mind disappear.

Maybe you guys should step out of your bubble a bit. What if it's real? Where's your imagination kids?

[Maeya]

I won't ever be able to fully believe him given that he's a magician.

[Narrock]

He's an assclown, and he's gonna get even richer by preying on retards that believe him.

[mofish]

[Markarado]

[Juls]

Hmmm...David really can do magic.. But its not fully him but more on what he feeds and what follows him. But what's the point of telling you guys when u don't believe in ghost.

[Markarado]

Juls most of us don't believe in your ghost stories because they're bullshit. Ever heard of hallucinating? You don't actually have to BE high to hallucinate. Fear and paranoia can cause it as well.

OMG A CLOUD WENT PAST IN THE DARK - IT MUST BE A GHOST

[Markarado]

By the way, I'm using a different phone. Msg me ur number plz thx Juls~

[Juls]

Mark... Like i said its a waste of time to share cuz you think it's bullshit. Maybe when u are in 1 or 2 situations where i have been you might see it in a different way. So no point right DUDE?

[Narrock]
