How Does David Copperfield Fly ?
posted December 1, 2007 - 7:47pmDavid Copperfield is an American magician who has made the statue of liberty disappear, floated over the grand canyon, levitated, among others.
Levitation is a powerful magic. Many people has been trying to explain how he did a flying levitation in one of his shows. Some people say he is fake and that he uses tricks in order to perform magic. But if his isn't real magic, then we can say that he is good and performs his tricks really well. Below is the video of his magical levitation. Try to compare it with the animated video below which gives an explanation how he flies even without the use of real magic.
How does he fly ? How does he fly through the rings ? How does he fly in a box when there's cover on it ? The animation below best explains that the rings are not passing above him. It also explains that he flies with the use of a special rope. Only few factories in the world produces this rope and its thickness is less than 1mm and holds 100kg. He uses two ropes which will hold 200kg of weight.

So, is it magical illusion ? A trick with the help of tiny transparent little ropes attached to him ? Different people have different interpretations. Some may believe in his magic, some may not. It's up to you to decide which one you want to believe in.
