[@samuelrs5138]

Actually, there is an exact copy of this statue (scaled smaller) still on public display in France. There was a third model that actually has been lost Besides, Lady LIberty is an *extremely* old character. Google "Sol Invictus" to see what was basically the patron saint of the Roman military. Statues of her were carried around by the military and her image all over all sorts of their equipment, regalia and forms of documentation/uniform. Or Google, "Libertas" and you will see Lady Liberty once again.... the "Libertas" was the Roman currency (coins) issued about 2000 years ago by Caesar Augustus. Many satues of Liberty all over Europe and especially in Italty, went missing or were destroyed by the Germans, Italians and the surrendered-French.

The hardest thing to learn is skilled sleight of hand. For making statues "disappear" you need only money, LOTS of money, and good team. IMO it is downgrade: everyone, rich enough, can make people, statue, tanks and etc. to "vanish". This trick in video is case of extreme downgrade, because it was made with the help of camera and it wont work live with random spectators. Just SHAME! What next? CGI?

Rotating Stage > look at all the shadows change, while the curtain is up, on the backs of the chairs (especially the guys elbow shadow), along with the light & shadow changes on the stage wall on the right & the fake radar equipment. The biggest tell is the huge shadow from the radar box that glides across David’s waist/crotch area as the stage rotates & he is still with his hand on his head, easy to spot. The stage simply rotated to the right when the curtain was up. Copperfield had a contract with ABC to make several TV specials & was not beyond paying actors & using camera trickery for his illusions. Ahh, the 80’s, fun times!

[@DL-kc8fc]

:) The lights are on the turntable. Copperfiel would not have made such a mistake with the shadows - everything was filmed many times and precisely controlled.

[@taraggie]

Copperfield had a setup of two towers on a stage, supporting an arch to hold the huge curtain that would be used to conceal the statue. The TV cameras and the live audience only saw the monument through the arch. When the curtains closed, David waxed poetic while the stage was slowly and imperceptibly turned. When the curtains opened, the statue was hidden behind one of the towers, and the audience was looking out to sea. Voila!

[@asyraffhaikal4137]

Hye

[@DL-kc8fc]

Yes, the angle of rotation was very small (max 30 degrees). The statue was hiding behind the left tower - for a moment you could see the light of the torch penetrating the black cloth. The lighting of the statue was off.

[@ClancyXanecrest]

At 7:10. You can clearly see the reflection of the lights on the supposed "radar" screen move in a counter-clockwise direction, indicating the reflected light is off-platform and that the platform is being rotated clockwise. Oops! The cameraman/prop positioner didn't do a very good job.

[@chSubbu007]

[@dougstyles5091]

[@RickMena1]

Those pesky overhead lights will get ya all the time!

[@DL-kc8fc]

You're right about the platform turning clockwise. I know it was only 30 degrees max. But the radar is a prop because the "image" had no continuity with the rotating electron beam - the "image" disappeared by rotating the polarizing filters, or by simply mechanically covering the lamp, causing an unintended effect at the edge of the "radar" screen. The scene lighting was part of the rotating platform. Cooperfield's engineers would not have made such a mistake. :) The only mistake was the statue's torch, which flashed briefly through the black canvas near the left tower. This electrical circuit must not be shut down for aircraft. The statue's lighting was of course turned off.

He fooled those present. He had loud music with plenty of base playing, so the platform was already vibrating slightly, so nobody noticed when the whole platform rotated.

[@IamtheHolyMan]

On the right side you can see the stage moving clockwise. The horizon is "moving".

[@NejiHyuga93]

The audience is on a moving platform which turns slightly to the right. when the curtain opens again, the statue of liberty is behind the left "tower" with bright searchlights turned on now (which makes surroundings especially dark). all lights of the statue itself are turned off. the circle of lights at the ground is a replication of the originally shown lights. thats it.

[@tamietaylor8620]

[@doh4828]

You can see a rotating light reflected in the radarscreen, and the shrub and cloth covered speaker shake as the stage is being rotated to the right angle that obscures the statue behind one of the towers. The empty circle of lights was filmed before or live filmed and broadcasted from another location and inserted into the live feed, and the searchlight helicopter simply shifted it’s angle as well. The loud music and suspense did the rest. Remember that this was a live televised illusion, so you can’t even rule out that the crowd was in on the trick.

[@johnking5174]

7:06 until 7:30 is the amount of time the curtain is raised up, so roughly 25 seconds, enough time for the platform to move gently away from the statue and slow enough for the spectators (assuming they are not stooges) to not notice the platform moving. 9:15 - this has to be the most unconvincing part, easy, just switch off all lights illuminating the statue and this is what you get. Simple. Look at the photos, it is so obvious the lights were turned off with one light directed to light the lovely ladies in each photo.

Don't worry. The Statue of Liberty didn't go anywhere. It was a big TV special for its time. The audience was on a big lazy-susan that turned ever so slowly that they didn't notice. Of course, if the audience was able to get up and look outside what they could see from their narrow view on the stage, they would notice they were facing at a slightly wrong direction. Still, a good trick. The U.S. Government wasn't worried that the Statue world disappear. I wonder how much the production company paid the National Park Service to do the shoot.

Well to start, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan and fry the mince until browned - you may need to do this in batches. Set aside as it browns. Put the rest of the oil into the pan, add the vegetables and cook on a gentle heat until soft, about 20 mins. Add the garlic, flour and tomato purée, increase the heat and cook for a few mins, then return the beef to the pan. Pour over the wine, if using, and boil to reduce it slightly before adding the stock, Worcestershire sauce and herbs. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 45 mins. By this time the gravy should be thick and coating the meat. Check after about 30 mins - if a lot of liquid remains, increase the heat slightly to reduce the gravy a little. Season well, then discard the bay leaves and thyme stalks. Meanwhile, make the mash. In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes in salted cold water, bring to the boil and simmer until tender. Drain well, then allow to steam-dry for a few mins. Mash well with the milk, butter, and three-quarters of the cheese, then season with the nutmeg and some salt and pepper. Spoon meat into 2 ovenproof dishes. Pipe or spoon on the mash to cover. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese. If eating straight away, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for 25-30 mins, or until the topping is golden. Or follow the steps (below) to freeze.
