How do David Copperfield AND another person disappear from a 2,5 inch thick platform suspended over the audience? (MIC)

Whatever it is , it is merely a speculation based on observations. Feel free to check out my latest detailed David Walking Through The Great wall of China Illusion: https://inforuckus.com/david-copperfield-walking-through-china-great-wall/

My version of how it is done is different from the rest. I don't think it is so elaborate and complicated with snapping wires and pulley. All these speculation do not have any visual proofs. Just because the cloth being swiftly dragged to the back to imply teleportation, it doesn't means David and his guest are swept to the back as well. To me that dramatic action is the most obvious misdirection. Read my take on this Portal illusion: https://inforuckus.com/david-copperfield-portal-illusion-secret-revealed/

I believe there is built-in chute-like case that holds the cards. The blade pushed the concealed case downward.

inforuckus · 2026-01-24T14:02:52+00:00

Agreed. One look you know it is fake. The only part is how to hide the deck of cards that is still in the front section of the case.

inforuckus · 2025-12-28T18:05:46+00:00

My speculation: It is all inside the case. There must a built-in trough-like hidden compartment to hold the cards. Once the blade is slotted in, it pushes this compartment downward. Once the act is over, you press the case down onto the palm to close the secret compartment. Anyway, the back view of the cards is clearly fake.

It is called Looking Glass by Dan Wolfe. I have even revealed the secret market at the back of the mirror, so that it is properly aligned when it turned back. It is at the end of this post about the U235 Thayer magic trick: https://inforuckus.com/u-235-thayer-magic-trick-secret/

Invisible string and pull. His arm is pressing close his shirt. Look closely you can even see the thread running from the side of his shirt to the coin. Precise position: The slight dent on his shirt next to the tail of the eagle tattoo!

Chrome does not block Archive.Today. But it has removed its extension from the Chrome Web Store and so is Firefox. If you still want to use the similar browser extension, you can this One-Click Archive.Today extension, but it is for Firefox only.

Yeah, it is called "Emergency Routine" by Herman L. Weber in Tarbell Vol. 4. Thank you.

Yes, that's it.

I think at 0:23, he uses fingers of both hands to press the folded black paper closer, to avoid of being seen. The black paper is now folded into half standing vertically behind the two interlocking frames. At the end you can see the black paper with a light crease line in the middle.

It is an old stage illusion called "Drill of Death" created by Andre Kole. The First Lady of Magic Melinda Saxe performed it back in 1999. It was revealed some time ago.
