Secret Magic David Copperfield.
Actually it is not my territory to discuss magic tricks. And this is not the purpose of virkology made. I am writing this to make it easier to answer the question. On several occasions many have asked me about the relationship between David Copperfield with Jin. I explain how the tricks are done, and the frequent discussions of this sort lead to them asking any magic tricks (which of course I did not know all of them) or to a discussion whether Jin really exist or not (which again again not my realm). I remember the end of the base of why many rumors that David Copperfield related to Jin. In the book "Dialogue with the Muslim Jin" written by Muhammad Isa Dawud who was a best seller in the 90s told the writer who claimed to be friends of experience with Muslim jinn genie tells about nature, including how the Bermuda Triangle kingdom inhabited by demons and how David Copperfield perform pact with the devil. Jin said that it is clear how the genie carry hundreds of David Copperfield-the-fly and shown a copy of a letter agreement with David Copperfiled devil written in Hebrew.In a previous article explained that statistically, in terms of traffic, the area versus the number of accidents, there is no mystery of the Bermuda triangle. In this article I will give a reference of how great tricks David Copperfield done even without the help of the genie. Remember, if you insist that David is assisted by Jin, nothing prevents you to believe.
Fly Tricks and Levitation.
David Copperfield is a phenomenal trick of flight action. Fly action has also been conducted in Indonesia in its heyday. Not just floated in the air, David could hold a woman while flying and also fly in the glass-covered box.How does it do the trick? Very simple but smart. By using a very thin steel strap. Progress and industry knowledge allows to produce super-thin wire that can hold loads up to 50 kg per strand.
Penetrating the Chinese Wall.
One of the other attractions that are not less appalling is the penetrating action of the Great Wall of China. How is it possible for and as solid wall that penetrated? David shows how the wall hard and then fabric covered. The shadows seem to penetrate the wall and when the cloth in the open, he is not there.How does it do the trick? Explanation tricks are described in detail by Valentino in the event Greatest Magic Trick Revealed episode. With the play of light (this is why the trick done before dark), simple hand trick by his assistant, as well as good teamwork, produces an interesting illusion.
Eliminating the Statue of Liberty.
Another great trick is to remove the statue of liberty. This attraction has been named in the Guinness World of Records in the category "The Largest Disappearance ever performed by a magician."The secret is to change the viewpoint of the viewer . Only a handful of people who watch the show immediately and the rest ( the remaining millions ) watching via television . The audience sits on the stage that can rotate slowly without the audience realizing it . Spectators are faced with a set of false no statue of liberty on it .
