.INSIDE MAGICIAN DAVID COPPERFIELD'S EXCLUSIVE CARIB BEAN RESORT

It's not an illusion! Inside magician David Copperfield's exclusive Caribbean resort, where parrots pick up litter, an outdoor cinema magically appears on the beach... and guests pay £24,000 a night

By JOYCE

David Copperfield's tropical getaway is not just a millionaires' playground and celebrity haven.

While Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and Johnny Depp are all rumoured to have spent time on the lush property in the Bahamas where Penelope Cruz married Javier Bardem, it is also available to rent... at a cool £24,000 a night.

The world's most successful magician has a second life in real estate with the chain of 11 Bahamas islands he turned into an exclusive Caribbean resort, which has everything from a giant drive in movie theatre on Coconut Beach to 'The Houdini Room' filled with memorabilia from his hero.

What d'you mean we're sleeping outside tonight? White sand beaches are perfectly manicured for guests

In 2006, the famed magician bought the 150-acre island of Musha Cay and its surrounding chain for a reputed £30 million, and with £25 million and five years of remodeling, made it into his own personal Fantasy Island complete with a staff of 30, with furniture flown in from all over the world - including Harry Houdini's pool table.

All told, the 11 islands comprise 700-acres and are worth upwards of $100 million (£60million), and Copperfield describes his resort as 'the most magical vacation destination in the world.

It's been widely reported that Copperfield found the main island after apparently drawing criss-crossing lines between Easter Island and Stonehenge, and the Pyramid of Giza and the Pyramid of the Sun in the Yucatan, and determining the exact spot at which the two intersected.

Daily rates for 2014 are £24,000 for up to 12 guests with each additional guest up to 24 (resort capacity) charged an extra £900, which includes all meals and drinks such as fine wines and champagnes.  

Select extras range from spectacular fire work events (£15,000) and a multi-island treasure hunt created, written and scored by David Copperfield and his creative team.

The treasure hunt takes guests across Musha Cay and the Islands of Copperfield Bay covering 700 tropical acres. Winners and all participants receive gifts and every hunt has graphics including treasure maps personalised and handmade specifically for the event. (£15,000 for up to 24 guests)  

Copperfield named his wild mini-archipelago in the Bahamas the Islands of Copperfield Bay and they are also reputed to have a fountain of youth, a secret underground city, and a treasure hunt bearing pirate booty.

'The island experience is the creation of every great place I’ve ever been combined with the imagination that I have in my theatre work,' he told Forbes Magazine recently.

Copperfield has described Musha as his most important project to date - presumably not including the birth of his daughter Sky four years ago and his engagement to long-term partner Chloe Gosselin.

Apparently the magician oversees even the tiniest of details, from selecting the board games made available for guests to designing the users' manuals for phones and items of technology.

'Because of my work I have the privilege of living in extraordinary places around the world,' he says. 'I wanted to recreate the details of those experiences here - from the water pressure in the shower to the thread count in the towels.'

‘The island experience is the creation of every great place I’ve ever been combined with the imagination that I have in my theatre work,’ Copperfield said in a recent Forbes interview. ‘People on the cover of your magazine come there a lot.’

The resort counts among its staff a crew of macaws which are specially trained to clean debris from the beach.

TEN DESTINATION FOR HONEY MOON IN AFRICA




For travelers, Africa has it all: iconic wildlife, epic landscapes, ancient wonders, and an incredible variety of cultures that have intrigued intrepid adventurers for centuries! However, this vast and beautiful continent also has it's sweet side, and it's a perfect place for newlyweds looking to experience the ultimate romantic getaway. A honeymoon, after all, is usually a once-in-a-lifetime affair, so why not make it unforgettable?
To help out, we've looked at the photos and recommendations of real travelers at minube.net to find the most stellar honeymoon ideas for couples looking to explore this most diverse of continents. From a candle-lit desert oasis to a dreamy tropical archipelago, here are the 10 best honeymoon destinations in Africa.


Tofo, Mozambique - While the gorgeous coastal nation of Mozambique might not be everyone's first thought for a honeymoon, the sleepy town of Tofo really does have all the ingredients for a perfect trip. Nestled on a tranquil bay looking out over the Indian Ocean, Tofo is a colonial-era fishing village where the pace of life is syrupy slow and the ocean air is filled with the scent of fresh grilled lobster. It also happens to be the world's premier destination for  swinming with whale sharks and manta rays


Douz, Tunisia - The golden dunes and unparalleled night skies of the Tunisian desert also make for a surprisingly romantic honeymoon. Those planning a trip should consider starting their Tunisia experience at Yadis Ksar Ghilane (pictured above), a desert encampment which combines the romantic setting of a palm-lined desert oasis with the comforts of luxury desert tents. Douz, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Sahara," is also a popular launching point for excursions to the  Jebil national park as well as off-roading trips to the Sahara.

Masai Mara National Park, Kenya - Honeymooners looking for a more adventurous getaway would do good to consider a multi-day route through Kenya's Masai Mara National Park. The Masai Mara, one of Kenya's most popular parks, is home to a stunning variety of animals including the famous "Big 5" of the African grasslands and serves as the backdrop to the world's most awe-inspiring animal migration Beyond the wildlife and unique local culture, couples can also reserve stays at some of the more luxurious bush camps and spend their evenings sipping gin & tonics riverside or taking an al-fresco shower while the sun sets over the countryside.

Praslin Island, Seychelles - The Seychelles Islands are a growing African contender on a resort tourism scene traditionally dominated by the South Pacific and the Caribbean. The Seychelles offer the lush vegetation and exotic beaches of any tropical archipelago, but really takes things to another level on Praslin Island; Praslin is a lesser-populated island that's home to incredible and virtually untouched beaches like Gran Ansé as well as the vallee' de Mai Nature Reserve , a UNESCO World Heritage Site that's home to such an incredible variety of plant and animal life that one 19th-century general named it the real-life Garden of Eden. (Manuel Tamayo Martin)



Zanzibar, Tanzania - Few African destinations have the coastal or historical appeal of Zanzibar, a white-sand archipelago off the coast of Tanzania whose historic district of  STONE TOWN is one of East Africa's few remaining ancient cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Curious couples should consider heading to Nungwi, a quiet touristy village on the northern tip of Unguja Island where they can spend their post-nuptial days relaxing next to the turquoise waters, cruising through vibrant mangroves, and exploring the delightful "ghost islands" that appear during low tide.

Great Rift Valley, Kenya - The area surrounding Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Great Rift Valley is one of the most spectacular in the country in terms of natural abundance. It's also full of charming colonial-style country hotels where mother nature is literally at your door step. The region is home to hundreds of bird species (especially flamingos) and is an ideal starting point to explore attractions like hell's gate national park a otherworldly terrain of cliffs and volcanoes, as well as the giraffes and zebras of Crater Lake Game Sanctuary.

Belo Sur Mer, Madagascar - Madagascar's unique wildlife seems to have earned it a spot in our collective imagination, and there's no better or more romantic introduction to the island than Belo Sur Mer, a quiet fishing village on Madagascar's western coast. Peace and quiet are the order of the day in isolated Belo Sur Mer, so you'll have to plan day-trips to get out and explore the island's parks, but there's no better way to end the day than a long solitary stroll on one of Madagascar's gorgeous beaches and a dinner of fresh local seafood.

Royal Livingstone Hotel, Zambia - One minube user put it clearly: "It is one of the most romantic places in the world." Located on the banks of the Zambezi River only a stone's throw from the epic Victoria Falls and chobe national park the Royal Livingston Hotel is one of Africa's most revered hotels both for its unbeatable location and almost magical atmosphere of enchanting architecture, riverside cafes, and curious local wildlife.

Bissagos Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau - The islands that make up this archipelago and  UNESCO BIOSPHERE RESERVE  are perfect for newlyweds looking to really have some privacy. Only 20 of the archipelago's 88 islands are populated, which leaves plenty of untouched white-sand islands to explore; and given that international tourism has yet to penetrate deep into the Bissagos, you'll be able to find plenty of romantic beach-side cabins and oceanfront restaurants without having to pay a bundle in return.

Cape Winelands, South Africa - Rather than Tuscany or Napa, why not opt for the rugged mountains and rolling vineyards of South Africa's Cape Winelands for your honeymoon? The green valleys that make up the Winelands are wedged between scenic peaks and dotted by historic wineries and estates dating back to the time of the Huguenots. Here, you can leisurely explore the country's most charming historical wineries, sample some of the cellars' best vintages, and experience life in one of the world's premier wine regions.

NIGERIAN ARTISTES WIN ROYALTY BATTLE AS COSON SIGNS HISTORIC AGREEMENT WITH THE NIGERIAN BROADCAST INDUSTRY

In what could have once been described as impossible, Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) on May 21, 2014 at Eko Hotel& Suites, Lagos signed a historic music copyright royalty agreement with the entire broadcasting industry in Nigeria. It was celebrations galore at the star studded signing ceremony attended by the Director-General, National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Mr. Emeka Mba; Director-General, Nigerian Copyright Commission, Mr. Afam Ezekude; Director-General, Voice of Nigeria, Mallam Abubakar Jijiwa who is also Chairman of the 400 member Broadcasting Organizations of Nigeria, and several other top government officials.

The event brought to an end the prolonged disagreement between the music and broadcast industries in Nigeria spanning over 30 years which culminated in a major crisis in the last quarter of 2013.

  

It will be recalled that following the back-to-back and significantly publicized copyright infringement law suits filed by COSON against some of Nigeria’s topmost broadcasting stations in 2013, the stations under the aegis of Broadcasting Organizations of Nigeria (BON) and Independent Broadcasting Association of Nigeria (IBAN) announced the suspension of the broadcast of the music of nearly all the best known members of COSON on radio and TV stations across Nigeria. This resulted in massive public outcry across the country followed by an all-out media war between the music and broadcast industries.

In reaction, the NBC and NCC stepped in in an attempt to resolve the matter. This led to the setting up of the COSON/BON/IBAN/NBC/NCC Joint Committee. Under the auspices of the committee, comprehensive negotiations have gone on between COSON and broadcasting stations in Nigeria since the beginning of 2014.

 

Speaking at the signing ceremony, the NBC DG, Mr. Emeka Mba who commended the Chairman of COSON, Chief Tony Okoroji for what he described as Chief Okoroji’s doggedness and commitment to the respect of Intellectual property rights in the Nigerian creative industry, said, " This historic event isn't just about the Nigerian music industry but the creative industry at large. This is about the respect of intellectual property in Nigeria. Let us all see this as thebeginning of better things to come for the Nigerian creative industry. This goes to tell other sectors that have been abusing creativity that the time is up. "

And Kate's a fan of Hayden's, too! "I am so excited to be collaborating with Hayden on my first eye collection. I love his drawings and it was great fun to work with someone who could so perfectly bring our looks and ideas to life on paper," Kate said.
