David Copperfield's Greatest Illusion
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2013
- For those of you who are familiar with David Copperfield, one of the most amazing illusions that he demonstrated is making a statue of liberty disappear. Even though the illusion is very amazing, I always wonder why he wanted to make it disappear since it is one of the greatest symbols of the United States. So today, I will make the statue of liberty appear!!!! Please enjoy the video.

fly your called dumbass!
I have never seen this trick. I like the way you perform it. You seem to enjoy performing. Best wishes and great job.
Thank you very much Russ!
Pete Pridanonda I think I know how
Adam Husic
I know how and it is real. It's real science at work here :)
Adam it’s really simple actually. Pretty cool tho
0:31 he places the statue while putting the wall down 1:00 he moved the statue forward right there with the wall it self. notice how he slid it forward a little bit. and we couldn't see through the box then. mystery solved
nooooo really? thank you for discovering america and the instructions. did you really think it was magic?
countbleck35 What's wrong with you, you took drugs or something?
nice
countbleck35
No-one cares about you.
At the beginning he is holding the wall and with the thumb the figure.
He demonstrate only the front of the wall. After putting the box at first, he unlock the wall shows you complete and push forward the figure while lock the wall. The figure is there all the time. You can't see nothing througe the box.
The box on the front has a foil like a mirror.
Cool, concise, enjoyable. If only more youtubers were like that. ;)
The plastic box has a special angled front pane which is angled from the inside. At the correct camera angle you cannot see anything behind it. The reason he takes the striped wall off for a second time is because he has snuck the statue of liberty on the ledge behind the wall. He takes the wall off and when he replaces it you can see him slide it towards the box from the back of the base, pushing the statue in place. A very smooth illusion!
Haha great point :) I always look forward to your new videos! You are a great performer and I hope to see you on the big stage soon!
Thank you! It is very diifcult for me to have great patter when performing for a camera, that's why I love performing and posting LIVE performances. I will definitely workk on it though, thank you as always!
Simple trick but nicely done by a young magician..thanks for sharing the video.
This is so cool ! and I love your smile at the end :-) Thank you really much too
Wow that was awesome shoot for stars bro good job
"Thank you very musch!" I like this guy....
Cada vez mejor! Muy bien, esperare cuando estes en un teatro para ir a disfrutar tu arte.
Cool illusion! Although, I did hear the plastic surfaces (of the statue and the wall) bump each other when you first replaced the wall onto the base with the statue behind it. The click sound occurred after you reinstalled the wall or "curtain," and this cannot be explained away. Secondly, I could see the outline, the reversed aura of an object in the center of the box where the light would not ordinarily pass through. Most curious, that the area around the hidden object appears to give off more light than the rest of the box does!
Great speaking voice, amazing illusion. Keep it up!
Nicely executed. Bravo!
You are great!! Keep on rockin bro!
Thank you Benjamin, this is an awesome effect that definitely relies on optical illusion!
Awesome trick bro ! The way u demonstrates attracts and thats good
That was incredible. I'm Going to watch this a second time over
That was really cool Pete!!!!
dude , you are amazing
that's one of the greatest tricks i've ever seen ,
congratulations
The trick is all in the glass box, that's not exactly transparent, but has a pattern to it (most likely vertical) that only allows cerain visibility. You can see the lines reflecting in the box 0:34. The statue is indeed all the time behind the wall. The moment when he pushes it forward is 1:00 (he pushed it using the wall, you can hear it and see it).
i saw you pushed the statue towards the box when you reinstalled the backwall. You had the statue behind the wall the whole time. And the box is not really transparent. It refract (i.e. not reflect, not transparent) light from behind it. There is a blind spot where the box doesn't refract any light from, and that's where the statue was hidden after you pushed it in front of the wall. You gave the trick away when you were installing the backwall behind the box. You had the wall NOT totally horizontal for a split second, and yet the lines we see through the box WERE horizontal. Proving the point your box was refracting light..
Great trick though.
+yamato905 saw that too
Louis Mitchell DId I say I'm smart? I just said I saw the trick!
Louis Mitchell ok
+yamato905 soooo its not really magic?
No man it is not a magic. its an illusion. our eyes are not made for differentiating colour hues. in otherway our eyes can differentiate the colour difference
Thank you Paul. Looking forward to seeing you at the Magic Castle!
Nice job! lol if you pay close attention you can hear a very small sound of the statue being put down at 0:32 seconds, but you were pretty smooth about it
thx!!! very nice had to watch it 20 times, now back to watching david copperfield to see if he does anything similar.
at the beginning the statue is behind the wall. When he picks up the wall the first time he is holding the statue behind the wall with his thumb. When he picks up the wall the second time he leaves the statue behind the box. notice when he puts the wall back down he slides it in from the back, sliding the statue into the "transparent" box. Then he just picks up the box and boom there goes the statue.
if you observe on the halfway, the box is still transparent and you can see through. and only half the statue is visible
You have kept Ran P Dev image. I like him very much. He was good actor. He was in Telugu movie Khushi.
Boom ! crazy russian hacker in disguise?
0:30-0:32
0:35 the so called translucent box angles the light .. he's holding 45deg instead of looking through to his white tshirt, it shows the wall instead
AWESOME !!
The "clear" box is polarized to allow the thinnest light through. Only horizontal thick lines would look normal through it. Sunglasses use this for clarity but it conflicts with other polarized things.
Nice presentation.
Nicely done!
Thank you very much for the link!
Great trick! May not fool penn & teller, but entertaining nonetheless. Please do more
That was absolutely amazing
Woah that's so cool you're really good at that keep it up!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Its just about this clear box. Its not as clear as u think
Korwin Mikke ...its a polarized glass (actually plastic). Your viewing angle changes what you see. Like those Halloween pictures that change form as you walk past them.
Nice effect, keep it up!
Nice video mate :) Got my like. Stay happy :D
Wow, that’s great, thanks from Orlando.
When he removes the wall the second time and replaces it behind the 'clear' box, notice he is actually placing it farther back and at the same time- sliding it and the SofL FORWARD. The statue is behind the wall at the beginning and is pushed forward.
neat trick, I'd suggest one critical change in the delivery: after removing the striped wall keep the box a bit lower.
Thank you very mush.
Well done little buddy, this is great.
Light wave lengths, plastic shielding with tiny vertical grooves in it, and a backing with horizontal lines on it, make for a rather cool illusion 👍
wel done. like it. where did u buy it btw (i know how it works)
Hi Romen, I got this effect from penguinmagic. Thank you for watching!
Yes I was the day after the show at my local magic store it's very Funy gimmick.
I can explain how he did this...
1st sir ne linens waali waal ko back se pehle nhi dikhya...uske piche stechu of Liberty tha..
2 bad me jab sir ne linens waali waal ko base pr rakha tb stechu ko waal k back side me rakh diya...
3 fir sir ne glass ko base pr rakha
4 fir line waali wall ko is liye uth kr dikhya ki wo stechu ko aage ki trf la ske... jb sir ne linens waali wall ko base pr rakha to unhone stechu ko aage ki traf hlka sa move kiya with helping of lining wall..
5 ye jo squre glass hai na...this is not a normal transporta glass... miner visible
or is glass me jo line show ho rahi hai... wo front se nhi show ho rahi wo left righ se show ho rahi hai... is glass me bilkul front ka kuch b nazer nhi aata hai
this is.....
Nice! Good job young man.
That is definitely one of my goals, hopefully one day it will become a reality! I always put a lot of effort into my videos which includes unique magic, entertaining presentations, and LIVE performances. I'm glad you enjoy my performances and it would mean a lot to me if you help me promote my youtube channel, this will give me the drive to post more videos, and even start my first contest and tutorials!
That was excellent!
Thank you very much!
I like your rimless eyeglass frames. Wish that I knew the brand and model. Might buy some for myself.
Does it work because the box is refracting the thing behind it, when you pick up the back to show it’s transparent you put it down, then put the back in further away?
Cool. Did u make all that stuff yourself?
good one...nice work
Very cool good work on the video
Thank you very much my friend!
I know that some people in the comment secton might have already figured it out but truth is that I watched it five times and couldn't figure it out and since I enjoy your happiness and the trick so much I just couldn't care less about how it's actually done because all I care is that it made me happy while messing up with my brain quite a lot which I enjoy.
nice video, cool dude!
So the trick is this: 1) The statue is behind the wall at the start. 2) He holds it behind the wall when he lifts the wall. 3) When he sets the 'box' down and removes the wall it gives the illusion that nothing is there behind the box, the statue is moved forward in front of the wall as he replaces the wall. The reason why you can't see the statue is because the box is a non transparent lens that magnifies, stretches and displays things off to the side of the box. That's how it looks like it's transparent because it reflects the blue bars, but it's not actually showing the blue bars directly behind it.
i have some idea i don't know if its possible but if its possible the effect is good, you know that if you rotate the sunglass with ultra violet 180 degree you cant see something on the lcd? if you can print something like that lcd on a clear glass and use the ultra violet tint on the upper glass you can have the invisible effect.
Hi Pete, how does that work? A great trick.
that was a wonderful trick don't know how you did it I was watching it I'm watching it and I still can't figure it out keep up the good work you're really good
Thank you very much for your comment! This trick relies on a very old optical illusion but if you want to know where to buy it, you can message me for more details :)
0:58 the box isn't so transparent anymore!
It's not transparent
It's translucent
:P
mos ab I noticed that too. I think I've spotted the trick... The tint on the box makes grey invisible. The SoL figurine was on the tray the whole time. At 1:01 he pushes the figurine into the tinted box using the wall before clicking into place. Because of the colour of the statue, it cannot be seen on the outside of the box. If he was to put the box over the statue again, I bet it would disappear.
also just watching this now
abu269 If the box doesn't allow you to see grey, it doesn't mean you can see the wall through the Statue of Liberty. There is no such things as invisibility.
NavvaK I'm not saying that it's invisible but more of an optical illusion, making it appear invisible to the human eye. The box is not clearly transparent which is the first giveaway. The second was when he planted the statue in the box at 1:01. The fact that we can't see the statue when inside the box has something to do with the tint on the box itself.
very well done man
😳😱😮😦😵👏👏👏👏 How did you do that??? That's how David Copperfield did it!! Wow!
Thats pretty wild stuff!!!
Neat trick, requires good dexterity. There are two key actions happening here.
no it doesn't
This was very good👏👏👏
pretty neat dude
Thank you Andrew!
This is absolutely good where can i buy it? I know that lubor lens exist but i want exactly that one
Fresnel lenses are super cool. They use fresnel lenses in most lighthouses too.
Ayo! that was sick man!
And as you can see 😁 This was awesome
That was awesome, he's adorable!
Thank you Zadden!
Ok young man that was pretty cool!
When he puts back the wall, he puts it back behind the statue and shoves the statue forward before setting the wall in the same place before, but now with the statue in front of it. And the box isn't as transparent as you think.
Great job!
I watched it 10 times already!!! How did u do it??
When I saw the "clear box" I thought it looked like frosted glass, I'm guessing this blurs the statue enough so it isn't seen? Pretty cool trick.
it's some sort of lenticular, it blurs the background but only in one direction. Since the "wallpaper" is just horizontal stripes, you don't see the difference when blured, but any thin vertical object will become invisible.
Had he turned the wall 90° to make the stripes vertical, it would have been totally blury
The box is kind of a mirror of the sides, it reflects the side walls and hides the middle. He has the statue behind the wall and slides it into the box when he puts the wall down for the last time.
Yes it is very similar to Lubor Lens but the difference is that this trick can be perform to a larger group of people because it can be done vertically.
That was freaking awesome!
Thank you Mr Fresnel..
Th statue is placed behind the striped board, you cleverly move the board backwards once yoi have placed the glass box in front of it. The glass box create an illusion that conceal the statue.
But I very much enjoy your show. You got a great Showmanship there! Keep your spirit and I hope you can be a famous magician one day!
The box is a diffraction grating which bends the stripes of the wall. He pushes the statue forward with the wall the last time he puts the wall on.
Good magic trick. However, next you should replace the statue with a live mouse or a tarantula.
How did you do that?))
Dude, i had to go through the comments to see if it was a jumpscare!
Pretty cool. But I see that when you put the box down (which is angled to hide something behind it) you only lifted the wall. The statue of liberty was behind it so you just placed the wall behind it and pushed the statue forward and snapped the wall in place. Then removed the box. Still really impressive.
Is this BOX something that i can buy???Please reply this question
Really simple. Repositioned the back wall after putting the "transparent" box In front of it and thus the wall is now behind the statue which csnnot be seen through the box because of its color is so similar to the "transparent" box
Took me 2 watches to figure it out. well done :)
This "clear" box just expand one vertical strip of the background to the whole width. It can be very well seen on your glasses, which don't look like glasses behind the "clear" box.
