    Using that metal ring to show "there are no strings" and stopping it right there, where strings are mounted actually destroys the whole illusion.

    Fine trick visually but it's hardly going to fool professionals making it a weird choice for Fool Us. I think if you're going to do this trick, you need to find a way to simulate going through the hoop while flying. The way they did the hoop, he landed right as the hoop was brought over his head, so it was possible to slacken the line, and then he went back through the hoop in a pretty obvious way. I'm just some guy and even on a single viewing it was clear to me exactly how they did it, so for P&T this is beyond child's play.

You have no real practical knowledge on this other than what you have seen Copperfield do. And not only that, You don't even know how Copperfield's apparatus works. In order for wires to be invisible there is anything but "cheap" machinery here. And this routine is created for having ONE assistant. Which means he can do this on a lower budget cruise ship show, with is about 100 times better than anything else those budgets of shows would have.

      The Copperfield flying technique, which Willi Auerbach is using, is very different from the standard Peter Pan "kid on a wire" effect. Copperfield's solution is much more sophisticated and graceful, allowing the performer to do a wide range of movements in flight. And it includes several "proof" moments, such as the hoops demonstrated here. The Copperfield rig remains the world's best live flying effect as far as I know. (And it's patented, so I'm surprised that Willi was allowed to perform it. He may have arranged a license with Copperfield and co.)

      Sure. Putting on the Copperfield clip was a bit unkind but also kind of fair - this act lacked refinement and aesthetics and it was a "gentle nudge" to up their game or GTFO. It just seems strange to even let on this duo with their off-stage video act, it seems to break every rule of the show format.

    • @oktomcat
      @oktomcat 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I agree. Copperfield had two rings going around him while this couple only used one ring and she did not put the ring over him until after he landed. Something I caught right away. It may seem cruel and unkind to show Copperfield's flying trick but magicians must realize that you do have to step up their act. It is tough because there is nothing new under the sun and therefore a magician has to add more complications to their act. This couple did have a good show though and I did like that.

      Its a system whereby a clear nylon monofilament on each side of his body extends out from a body harness and attach to a tracking system on the ceiling. Background and lighting are key elements to this trick as the nylons must remain invisible to the audience. David Copperfield was the first magician to perform this illusion. The system was patented at the time and the patent has since expired allowing others to use it. You will notice that when he steps into his assistants ring, she has to back track after reaching his body length because the nylons prevent the ring from going any further.

If you really think about what's behind all these illusions, these are real pros, not people who just bought something off of Walmart dot com and started a show. This is why practically all stage shows have in the act a few close up pieces just to make sure the audience remembers that.

    Es hat mir super, super, super gut gefallen. Ich schaue deshalb extra nicht in youtube rum, wie es vielleicht geht. Egal wie ich die Augen zugekniffen habe, ich konnte nichts erkennen, und ich habe seit langem geträumt, mal so einen cleanen Flug zu sehen. (Wobei ich schon ewig nicht mehr Flüge angeschaut habe, da ich sie immer uninspieriert fand). Das hier hatte aber eine schöne, passende Körperbewegung zusammen mit dem Flug, recht natürlich nämlich. Ich habe vor allem in meiner Kindheit immer im Schlaf extrem oft davon geträumt, dass ich fliegen könnte, vielleicht der Hauptgrund, warum ich mal auf so einen schönen Magierflug gewartet habe.
    I will follow...

    Willie, you are braver than I am. I weigh 240lbs / 109kg, and I don't think I could do it. It looks a lot like Copperfield. I would like to have seen more "proof", like Copperfield did with the rotating rings around him while he was levitated to show he wasn't suspended. Very nice show, and you and your wife are a lovely couple. All good wishes.

    It's a really cool act. They did it really well. His shirt was pulled by the wire a couple of times when he was flying on his stomach. You can see it coming up to a point on his back. But other than that it was a great routine. Not sure why you would pick this one though to try and fool them. But nonetheless it was really cool. I'd love to see someone do a variation of this but where it would fool even magicians and people that know how it works. Hasn't been done yet.

    I was really waiting for some twist to happen, something wonderful that would even have a chance of fooling Penn and Teller, but all we got was that amateurish ring and perhaps front-to back wire transfer. A far cry from the legendary Copperfield walking upside down in a fish tank. I still remember my disappointment when as a child I first saw the "levitation" illusion at a local stage performance .. it was a platform badly obscured by some hanging clothes .. plus I was just standing too close. From there, I never got to experience the awe of "flying illusion" without instantly getting disillusioned .. except perhaps the Copperfield one - but that was on TV . It just goes to show that flying is hard. And that makes me that much of a bigger fan of SpaceX.

    To me, the illusions in the intro VT were more impressive than the one they performed for P&T. After all, stage flying is so commonplace that pretty much every amdram production of Peter Pan uses it (albeit usually with slightly thicker cables that are more easily visible to the audience), while hula hoops with imperceptible gaps in the ring to allow the wire through while appearing intact are also well known.
