@aloneboy98

... what? How exactly could fake hands help him?

xD

[servicesequus]

@TheMagicofIllusion At 1:33, He sticks his hands into a box and false hands come out. That way, he isn't tied down inside the box and can move however he likes.

[liphttam]

I love the murmer the audience gave. If he was realy cut in half there would be blood on the saw.

[MrBorican]

The master illusionist.

[Epsilon15]

He is obviously a robot.

[convecti0n]

100 bucks to the first good explanation of this!

[convecti0n]

[JohnJasonSantillan]

I'm 13 and i have no idea who he is. now I know♥

[norththomas]

I remember this from when i was about 8, me and my grandad loved magic!

[ValentinaLim14]

my friends says he prays to satin and satin gave him power so when he dies his soul belongs to satin

[Pinknarf95]

@ValentinaLim14 O_o What has your friend been drinking?

[ValentinaLim14]

[ConnorGunn]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[draganj95]

no blood?!?!?!

[xXLoneWolfXv]

HAX

[TheBraynz]

Of course it's a trick people! That, or unless he's a devil worshiper. As for those of you genius who can figure out how he did it, why don't you go do it in front of an audience and make as much money as he does?

[gaaraofdafunk1]

woow i didnt notice the hands lol

[jrdudedj]

That was amazing. I'm only eighteen so i didn't even know who this guy was until a short time ago, does he have any DVDs?

[TheMagicofIllusion]

@jrdudedj

He has one DVD:

"Illusion" by David Copperfield

You can find it on Amazon and Ebay and places mostly.

[ShaiyaStudios]

One of the greatest illiusions I have ever seen. Although, I still prefer David's "flying" illusion as the greatest of all time.

[grape00jelly]

FAKE AND GAY :]

well nooo..not really

[Shredmastr514]

yeah! COPPERFIELD! The best stage magician ever! I love this trick

[Maaggiicc101]

[ClassicSteinwayJonas]

[KayliePaul]

[KayliePaul]

[zoginar]

@KayliePaul

Really?? It's not real?? Hmm is that why they call it a "trick"?

[zoginar]

Really?? It's not real? Maybe that's why they call it a "trick"?

[Planetaryy]

Nice. Can't even begin to imagine the illusions that were used here.

[DoofStar112]

[DoofStar112]

face it GUYS IT A TRICk have u ever wondered why there is no blood. LOL

[TheNewVideos]

this is the best trick ever! Criss Angel also did this.

[tripios]

photoshop

[TheMagicofIllusion]

All David Copperfield's tricks are done without computer effects.

This is filmed in one continous shot and was filmed in 1985, and even today our photoshop software could not make CGI as realistic as this.

This illusion is ofcourse being performed infront of 6,000 people aswell, and Copperfield regularly performed it for over a decade all around the world.

[tripios]

relax man just joking photoshop isnt for video effects

[448626]

@TheMagicofIllusion its not computer effects but its ofc not real lol.... its an illussion.. jsut a trick.. hes job is to fool you.. and her great at it..

[chrislivia12]

@TheMagicofIllusion how comes chris angel does the same thing

[chrislivia12]

@TheMagicofIllusion how comes chris angel does the same thing

[diazzzm]

@TheMagicofIllusion look closer to his hand in 1:33..

[MRcrispy00]

@tripios Photoshop is used for photos remake, is useless for movies...

[EIoweiss]

@tripios

are you serious? -_-

do you honestly think photoshop existed in 1985?

[tmartin789]

The magic trick is simple. IT'S OBVIOUS he was born without legs =)

[TheMagicofIllusion]

... What?

o.O

[denn034]

@TheMagicofIllusion I saw this illusion live! Wow!

[sakorazen]

@TheMagicofIllusion  are you david copperfeild or what? xD

[mocerinos]

no no  is fals

[CarolSandu]

@tmartin789 NO!!! It's simple to recognise u are an idiot

[EIoweiss]

@tmartin789

then how would the legs move in the first place, when they were separated .-.

[meamjustme]

@tmartin789 ROFL XD

[xaxie1]

Its silly really, if it was real he would have not put those boards up at the end

[josiasarnaldo]

agreed, but still, your words didn't say much about how it is done. do you have any clue?

[Spivias]

ya funny how there is never any blood

[crucial101]

that's so ill..

[crucial101]

that's so ill..

[StrangervC]

Why don't ave blood? :O

[julijan999]

WOW! thats not a trick, thats magic

[Milosmilk]

no it's a trick.

[Petsura]

All I can think about is mirrors, but even that wouldn't make any sense to me. I do wonder though, why is the box necessary for the illusion?

[DarkKyoTrace]

@Petsura I believe the box is to make it seem like it was an escape trick in the beginning.

[Sazer333]

Definitely has something to do with the saw, the box and the table. The fact that the table and the box could move back when David "rewinded" the scene probably mean't that the trick might of had been used twice in that trick.

[rahbaral]

the only thing i picked up on is when he is being locked up at the beginning, when he wants to move his hands through the whole and on the chain, his own hands go down and fake hands replace it to get locked up. around 1:25

[lucifer5502]

hahahahahaahah @dosgav move your toe hahaha

[Tetova198]

he is a DEMON

[MakoBlaze911]

anyone kno how in the world to do this?

[dim432]

The greatest magic trick ever

[columthealmighty]

wow

[MrRafek3]

masakra

[MrRafek3]

zajebisty gosc

[MORFFFFF]

Don't warry Picture effects not a dunger !:)

what the F*** and you amercan ppl you think this reall pictue ?????

[TheMagicofIllusion]

Except ofcourse that this was filmed in the 80's, and even today computer graphics are not that realistic.

This is shown in one continuous camera shot, with no cuts or editting, in front of a live audience of thousands of people - you can see the whole thing in "The Magic of David Copperfield X: The Bermuda Triangle".

[Sazer333]

How old are you? You're probably not from the 80s or early 90s. Have you even seen 80s' special effects?

[448626]

@MORFFFFF its not computer effects but its ofc not real lol.... its an illussion.. jsut a trick.. hes job is to fool you.. and her great at it..

[dosgav]

lol MOVE YOUR TOE

[TheMagicofIllusion]

He does if you look closely. The legs wiggle, the feet move, and even scratch each other. :P

[mroshteng]

putang ina nyo ur mother is all naked and wet so stop fucking ur own mother shitness!!

[mrpyro781]

its ok it but cannot be real !!!!!!

[vinmnitsugamarockpig]

agree!!!!

[MrXPupsX123]

wow man this kid is crazy!

[MrXPupsX123]

wow man this kids crazy!

[pippymorris]

@ 3:21 i thought he was dead

[blackshadowy]

omfg!! he's Jesus!!!!

[BindiBlackcatUK]

this is a truly astonishing piece of magic ... the song at the start definately makes the trick sound all the more legendary !!!

[samuelho624]

are there any one here because there is someone in the world can really do those kind of thing, i mean they are different, they born with those power!

[pav7300]

This reminds me of this trick my friend showed me i which he would use a special pen to stab into a paper bill, but be able to pull the pen out without making a hole.

[12ayis29]

@pav7300 i think u are reffering to criss angel....

[spongeboop5]

i know its obviously not real, but i would just love to know how they do i! :L

[Talisa1811]

At a guess I would say it was a track by Enigma

[BindiBlackcatUK]

whats the name of the tune at the start!!??

[albertuseimers]

The name of the tune at the start is "knocking on forbidden doors""

Its coming from the first cd of Enigma Mcmxc A. D.

[PSNable]

Best illusion ever. Can anyone remember what film had that soundtrack on the reversal, its doin my head in...

[joaoprietto]

Die Hard's (1988) theme. It's played that time when the blond guy almost kill John Mclaine. Fortunately the chubby cop stoped him before he could shoot on them.

[twihardno1]

oh godthats scary

[RadiateJayess]

Lol I'd love to see how the splitted areas looks.

[TheMagicofIllusion]

@RadiateJayess

On the DVD you can see it, but unfortunately you can't see much blood or entrails on the Youtube version. Bad video quality.

[ZmajSnoshaj]

Yes... LL's projection magic at it's best ;)

5:08 and on is a reversal of the saw cut.

[Monofiner]

To be honest I really dont wanna know how the hell he does that...With out mystery there is no magic...I think our curiosity is the reason why these shows clearly not exist any more :(

[jamesrosey1]

its def true and i know exacly how he does it. he is a great magician.

[ctm175]

i have a feeling they computer edited this one, correct me if i am wrong but there is no other possible explanation because the mirrors idea doesn't work because you can see you can see through it properly from all angles

[TheMagicofIllusion]

@ctm175

I'm going to approve this comment, because I can tell you that it has NOT been editted with tv cuts, or Computer Generated Images in anyway: what you are watching here is EXACTLY what you would watch if you visit his live shows.

I have seen this live, and it is incredible.

Tom

xx

[dw211221]

hahaha i saw that illusion live also so its not tv editing

[IraniGirl1]

I dont think its true...fake

[nacho2226]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

[stupidboyz1000]

he is one of the best magicians around and i think this is a brilliant trick to be in magic history.

[gentimafia]

the best magic ever

[chimak3d]

doest anyone know how the bottom mirror work? this is a new invention in this magic?

[TheMagicofIllusion]

@chimak3d

Clearly no mirrors are used as you can see all the way underneath him to the other side.

[EasternGateGuardian]

aerosols and sophisticated projectors? advanced holographic tech?

I've seen this in person when i was 8years old! Even then i suspected such concepts, many gigs where far out!

[Watdafuke]

Amazing - Truly Outstanding

[CopperfieldChannel]

check out my uncut version of this video

[ThomasWadeFraser]

The uncut one is better I agree, but this is more "youtuber friendly" as anything over 7 minutes seems like AGES.
