This is not an illusion, you can rent David Copperfield’s private island, Musha Cay, for a mere $57k a night. The world-famous illusionist purchased the island in 2006 for $50M, then invested another $40M to renovate the getaway spot.

Since buying one island is so 1990s, Copperfield also purchased 10 additional islands nearby, completing an archipelago now titled the Islands of Copperfield Bay.

The islands are just 85 miles from Nassau, Bahamas, and a short 1.5-hour flight from Miami/Fort Lauderdale, FL.
