Magician David Copperfield claims he has discovered a real-life 'Fountain of
Youth'.
The illusionist, who previously dated German supermodel Claudia Schiffer,
recently paid £36 million ($67 million) for four islands in the Exuma archipelago, in the Bahamas, and is adamant he has discovered an expanse of water there that has life-givng qualities.
Among the water's 'powers' is the ability to bring near-dead creatures back
to life.
He said: "I've discovered a true phenomenon. 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, 49, has now hired a team of top biologists and geologists to
come and test the water and the effects it could possibly have on humans.
Until the extensive tests are carried out, the magician is refusing anyone
else access to the water.
