When I was a kid, I admired the precision of his work as much as the wonder of the illusions themselves. I took away so much from the way he and his team choreographed Heaven On The 7th Floor so that the doors opened on the beat, and his silhouette appeared at the exact moment the intensity of the song increased. Stunning, stunning, stunning attention to detail that’s inspired me to this day.

I actually saw this LIVE, in person, back in Fall of 1991. I was 12 years old at the time. David had a show at the Rajah Theater (now the Santander Performing Arts Center) in my hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania. While he was walking down the aisles of the theater, David high-fived me, twice!

Rohan Padiyar David Copperfield has always been a motivation to me. Not just in magic, but in several areas in my life. I had the honors of seeing David Copperfield in person five years in a row. The first show he came 5 feet from where I was sitting. Any closer and I could have shook hands with him

You pretty much nailed it - families back then all used to gather after dinner to watch TV together. It was a family bonding experience. Sadly that doesn't happen anymore - one child is on their iPhone, another on their iPad, etc. Not to mention TV these days is nothing but reality shows such as My Kitchen Rules and The Bachelor.

I saw David Copperfield live with this show in Oberhausen, Germany. And just in case, if anyone is thinking about camera tricks or special effects, I can assure you, that everything looked exactly the same as in this TV-special. It was overwhelming to see him fly and doing the elevator-entrance with my own eyes in real live. For me Copperfield is a living legend.

27 years later, David's flying illusion still baffles me, and leaves me speechless. I still haven't figured out how exactly he was able to do it, and honestly I don't want to know. He's the icon of magic in my eyes, because he knows how to appeal to the audience. Comedy, curiosity, wonder, and maybe a bit of dreaming in this case.

There's a Wikipedia article about it - when you read how it's done, it's fairly anticlimactic, since what makes the illusion so impressive is the way David presents it, rather than the secrets behind it.

This is one of my favorite specials David did. One of the great starts of any magic show is "Heaven on the Seventh Floor". Yes it was first done by Doug Henning, but David performed it fifteen feet above the stage and can find great music to set the mood. Its sad that David no longer does anymore specials on CBS, but with the shows that give away the secrets, ruined the aww and wonder of it. Also "Grand Illusion" magic is gone. David is a great part of the 80/90's that is hard to duplicate.

Too bad this presentation can never be duplicated now because of the internet and the people who revealed past illusions and spoiled it for the rest of us.

He is my hero... A true inspiration!

Wow! I figured it was something he could only do on television. I would love to had seen that live! Did he do it the same way he did on his special? Could you see any indication of wires at all? I know it's done that way but I don't get how he makes them invisible. Hollywood movies use wires too but they are thick and visible and they remove them digitally later so it makes me wonder how Copperfield does it.
