And with their talent, many magicians, including magician David Copperfield, have conquered hundreds and thousands of spectators with unbelievable performances.
And one of the magic shows that brought great resonance to the famous magician David Copperfield was… the disappearance of the Statue of Liberty.
In 1983, right on television and in front of the audience present, magician David Copperfield performed a performance to disappear the Statue of Liberty.
Impressive performance by magician David Copperfield.
He stretched a huge curtain over the statue and then when the curtain fell, to the amazement of many people – the statue completely disappeared.
Just a few minutes later, he “placed” the statue back to its original position as if nothing had happened.
A few minutes later, the statue returned to its original position as if nothing had happened.
The “shocking” point in the performance of “witch” David Copperfield is that he even used lights and radar to search for the statue. But it completely disappeared without leaving any trace.
Immediately after the magic show was performed, many experts and researchers jumped in to find this explanation.
It sounds hard to believe, but experts have finally come up with a pretty simple explanation.
First, David erected two towers on either side of the stage, making a dome to stretch the curtain to cover the Statue of Liberty.
David erected two towers on either side of the stage, enough to cover the Statue of Liberty.
The scene that catches the audience’s eyes at this moment, whether it is the person who witnessed it in front of the stage or through television, is the scene behind the artificial dome.
When the curtain falls, the magician will begin to speak in front of the crowd – who carry with them the excitement and thrill of witnessing an interesting performance.
And while everyone was listening intently to David’s “non-stop sports” , who knew that the magician had made the stage rotate on the rotating platform.
When the curtain falls, the magician will begin to speak in front of the crowd.
The curtain was lifted, the Statue of Liberty was gone. But actually at that time, the audience’s view was obscured by one of the two towers.
Furthermore, all lighting fixtures for the statue have been turned off, except for the floodlights that shine up from the base of the statue. This created the illusion that there was an alternative space for the statue’s position.
And then, the headlights suddenly turned on, temporarily “blinding” the audience. Right now, the cloth covering the statue will be pulled down, but because the audience is still dazzled by the lights, they don’t see that moment.
Thus, the Statue of Liberty reappeared as if nothing had happened.
