David Copperfield Is So Nice To Kids

[@fairybits]

The ring in the rose was so beautiful and romantic.

[@neonh161]

I'm still amazed and puzzled by the first trick..

[@markermation4229]

Maybe he was very quick to get out of the platform below while the pictures were covering the space

[@HuaweiHuawei-en8iu]

Hai David Copperfield. Hope you get finest life. 😊🇲🇾

[@sweetiepiejer]

Nov.2022, though i know it's just an illusion but still i'm amazed since the first time i saw him when i was just a kid.

estoy de acuerdo es el mejor

[@GeneralArmorus]

Airplane didnt fool me but the disassembly at 6:00 did

[@MariaWoods99]

How in the hell is the first one even possible? Ive seen the trick millions of times but not to THAT degree...

[@jeffo9396]

Yes, you're right. She was lying horizontally under the floor, and a mirror simply reflected her face to be upside-down and vertical. At first I wasn't sure either, but the more I thought about it, the more the mirror thing made sense. I'm not sure if Copperfield actually invented that specific trick, but he performs the illusions real well.

[@ericboyles7208]

Jeff O, ok I can understand the mirror reflecting her face but how are her feet reflected? I thought that they were fake feet but I can't explain how her feet responded to David tickling them?

[@chaff5]

They are fake feet. Her response is a matter of timing and his cues. The feet are like bobble head toys. Look at right foot. The toes are always curled up. And the movement of the feet is pretty static, ie, they move in the same way the whole time. The movement alone is enough to convince anyone watching once that they're real. Watch enough times and you see it.

[@billgreen3138]

@@jeffo9396 your correct i have plans in illusion books that use those principals

[@pmarini]

@@jeffo9396 Maybe you're right. I noticed that once he turns her upside down, her feet and face look like they are through a glass (and there wasn't glass before). First I thought of some kind of TV screen but the mirror version sounds reasonable.

[@mfelliott87]

That's a cool way to enter "ahem" work.. Ha ha,...For real, though..Would be nice to enter into work with a cool introduction....A couple of people walking by, heck throw in a few beautiful women, then just calmly appear out of what looks like thin air. Would be awesome.

[@BrimsHL]

Ditto my friend.

[@SuperSweetUniverse]

So this is where the Family Guy folks got the idea from probably. "Meg. Prrt", "Meeeg! Prrrrrt!", "Meg, meg, meg. Prrt, prrt, prrt." Lolz

[@teddykurniawan4238]

Vanishing plane is easy trick😂

[@misterxyz5958]

If this really an illusion how he " cheated" our eyes/ vision?

[@drmgiver]

Camerawork.... Telling isn't it?

[@ManAtanIsmail]

He just foolings peoples
