David visited the Turtle Back Zoo (www.turtlebackzoo.org) in New Jersey as a kid,and got a chance to ride one of the tortoises. He recently expressed that "it was a very magical experience and I always wanted to take care of some of my own." He plans on welcoming these incredibly docile giants to Musha Cay and the Islands of Copperfield Bay with a wonderful tortoise habitat, which was designed by Copperfield himself.

Located in the Exumas, Bahamas, these 11 private islands are comprised of over 700 acres of lush natural beauty, 40 sugar sand beaches and a 2 mile long sandbar - truly paradise on earth. When David acquired these islands, he made a personal commitment to transform this already perfect place into the most magical vacation destination in the world.
David Copperfield has added guest entertainment features at Musha Cay that only he and his renowned creative team could imagine. To reawaken those rich warm memories of drive-in movies and popcorn in the open air, they've created a state-of-the-art giant outdoor movie theater on Coconut Beach. For the ultimate in private picnics at any one of their 40 secluded beaches on any one of their eleven islands, they've added an amphibious catamaran - guests can walk right off the boat onto thebeach. Visitors of Copperfield Bay can challenge their friends to The MushaOlympic Games, or a casual round of pool on Houdini's own championship billiards table.
Of course, guests may choose to do nothing and relax in the luxury of their private home, or curl up with a good book under the setting sun - a special pleasure when you're in the most perfect place imaginable.
