That's how David Copperfield disappeared the Statue of Liberty.

Wait a second!!! That was an absolute rip-off of a David Copperfield routine.

I loved it, but YouTube showed me the real trick: plagiarism!

Wow, how does he move like that?


He studied the magic of David Copperfield

I didn't know that David Copperfield played keys.

lol this was so cheesy


Complete with a high-five!

Man... all that cheese... my cholesterol is through the roof!

baah I bet you could achieve something like this if you spent a good month trying it out.

maby using 3d modaling package, I think most people can achive these sorts of skillz its like singing I think given some time almost anyone can sing a song in tune.

I mean fair enoughf coming up with an abstract concept of a 3d object and then aplying that to another object untill you have achived the object you have in mind is a very hard thing to do , but its really hard to say when sum one has truly achieved what they actually had in there mind.

but yah the basic form of this polor bare could be broken down into maby 30 or so steps that any mupit culd follow , then just repeat aload of times till you can do it well , then make some changes and you have your own bare.

In the end If people can put together Ikea fernature anything is possible.

Like Throbbin, I was born with no trace of artistic ability. So I watch any artist, of vitually any degree of talent, with a feeling of bewilderment and awe. Much like I felt as a kid watching David Copperfield and Doug Hennings perform their magic...I have no idea how it's done, and at times, I'd give my left nut to be able to do the same.

*promote a real magician, not some David Copperfield wannabe.

Documented is a good word. "Documented in the bible." is nonsense. That's like saying "Documented in Harry Potter."

When David Copperfield does this he has his assistant run a ring with a gap in it over him so the effect looks even better.

Your video, David Copperfield - See if he can guess your number., has made it into your personal Highest Rated Videos listing. Congratulations on a job well done. For you contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Jesus is everywhere....but he is no where. When your illusion requires no proof....actually demands that you require none, well, is there a limit? Jesus, if he existed at all, has got all the illusionists beat by miles. David Copperfield and Chris Angel...step aside for the master. Jesus doesn't even have to do ANYTHING (maybe not even exist), and people just eat it up. UNBELIEVABLE!!

[repost from this dupe]:

More comments at this dupe, including a link to a video explaining how it's done.

[spoiler]
The explanation at that link is pretty much what I figured, but the part that is missing (how the two halves got put back together) I think is just that the lower half person removed his legs from the standing "hallow legs" and pulled them into the cart with him. Then the others carry the hallow legs over to the top half man who simply extends his legs into them. The lower half man is no longer in the legs when the upper half man is jumping up and down.

The kind of tricks I've never been able to explain are ones I've seen David Copperfield do: He throws a plastic brick into the audience and the receiver yells out a number then tosses it randomly somewhere else behind them in the audience, then they yell out a number and it continues a few times. Before the brick throwing stars he hangs up a box on stage. After the numbers are all randomly decided, he pulls from the box an actual stamped license plate that has all the numbers in the order they were yelled. Now how's that done?

A similar one is where he hangs a big envelope up before drawing a random painting on the wall based on random audience members (via the brick throwing). Then he opens the envelope and a huge sheet of paper contains the exact same picture he just painted. Baffles me.
