Answer 1

David Copperfield did not make the Statue of Liberty disappear. It's just an illusion. All magic is illusion or misdirection, all just smoke and mirrors. It's the fact that ti's so darn clever that makes it interesting. If it looks real and you can't think of any way you could have been tricked, you believe it's real. This doesn't make it real.

Answer 2

It's all ILLUSION! Watch the masked magician as he revealed most of magician's tricks (breaking the magician's code) then you will never believe any magician, even David Copperfield or David Blaine, the 2 greates magicians on this planet!

Answer 3

YOU didn't see it either... you only saw a recording of the event!!!

That's a BIG difference.

When in front of the magical event, you can find the trick more easily. With only a tape to work with, I'd say he used well placed mirrors, but since I wasn't there, I can't tell you were exactly.

Probably mirors made of some kind of metalic foil, so he can unfold them faster (he and his team) if he placed them close to the statue, or simple normal mirrors (or some kind of giant TV screen) if it was placed close to the audience.

Answer 4

The people standing in the circle all work for him. There are actually two groups, one with a plane, one without...and two cameras. All he promises, is that he won't pull the camera away...not use an entirely different area with people standing around!

Answer 5

Mirrors. All mirrors.

By placing mirrors in the correct position you can make anything disappear. It is all relative to where you sit in realtion to the object your making disappear.
