David Copperfield - Illusion [DVD]

Older footage of some classical performances by David Copperfield who is probably the best stage magician performing today.

He starts by showing you 15 objects in a circle. He tells you to pick a number between 1 and 15 and count each number as one object. Then he takes away the 3 objects and tell you to go back the same number of objects you just counted. Then he takes away some more objects one of them being the rainbow and tells you to go back or forward four spaces. Any moron would see that once he tells you to go back the same number of spaces and takes away the more objects there are only eight objects left. Than he tells you to go forward or backward 4 objects. Well since there are only 8 object left the one in the middle will be the one you chose. I got this after watching it only one time. There are 15 objects he tells you to count. He takes away 3 leaving 12 objects. Tell you to count back what ever number you choice takes away 4 objects leaving 8. Than tells you to go forward or backward 4 spaces. The answer any moron knows will always be the moon. I am paying 35.00 dollars for a tape at least don't show we tricks that a 5th grader could figure out.Because of this trick I gave the DVD 4 stars instead of 5. The rest of the DVD was great except for the Saw of Death. If you recall the Mask Magician showed in one of his episodes how this trick was done. I am a state worker and have no knowledge of magic so 95 percent of the tricks I had no idea how they were done. However if you happen to be an amater magician you might get some of them. However I doubt that you will get the statue of Liberty Disapearing or him making an airplane and a train dissapear. Over all a great DVD just a few stupid tricks that any body could figure out.

This is art of magic and illusion at its very best - unparalleled - creative, daring, heartwarming. The majority of this DVD presents 15 years of David's stunning grand illusion - disappearing Statue of Libery, vanishing a train, vanishing an airplane, walking through a Great Wall in China, levitating, flying, and much more ... even the viewers disappear and reappear. There is also some sleight-of-hand magic and a lot of extras - including a brief visit to David's Museum of Magic.Among his many brilliant ideas and hard work, I was delighted that he has also initiated a "Project Magic" - intended to teach simple magic tricks and help develop dexterity in people who are disabled as adjunct to their treatments not only to help with their therapy, but also to help enhance their self-esteem.

Excellent - well researched and highly interesting.

Absolutely appreciable.Thanks.

This is a great collection of Copperfield's most well-known illusions in the 80s and 90s. It features, among others, his disappearance of a railroad car, a jet, the Statue of Liberty, as well as his Great Wall of China illusion. It also features montages of other tricks.

Very good and entertaining with interesting background on David Copperfield. The only problem is that it is an older cd and much of what is shown has been seen before many times. Since it's the only David Copperfield cd available, there isn't any other choice if you want to watch him work his magic.

Congratulations to Mr. David Copperfield. This is an excellent DVD that traces his history and shows many of his unforgetable illusions on stage.Don`t miss it.It would be nice to have more DVD from his brilliant career. I'm sure many of his fans as I, remember the early TV programs and we would like to have all these souvenirs as a treasure in series or box-set od DVD's.

Good price, fast delivery
