David Copperfield

Postby fisherp1 » Jul 8th, '06, 19:09



Hi Folks,
I am not sure what you all think of David Copperfield, but I just saw a couple of illusions that blew me away. He is kind of intense, but I like him.

1. Floating Rose.
2. Great Crad trick - aces appear and dissappear.
3. Flying. (strings??)

Can anyone point me in the right direction for gaining knowledge in this area?

many thanks - always,

Paul.

For floating rose ill just say: Kevin James.
I don't know about the 4 aces, haven't seen it.
And about flying, well because of the site rules I won't tell you if you are right or wrong I will just tell you there has been some TV show in Russia that told how it's done (stumbled upon it in the internet a few months ago) so if you are so interested you can try and find it.

The 4 aces - or Granpa's aces as Copperfield calls it is a variation on McDonald's Aces.

Flying - well I say just watch and enjoy. You'll not be able to achieve anything near to this without a mega mega budget

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!

As AJ's sig says, just sit back and appreciate the magic for what it is.
