i was in vegas last night and i happened to catch a copperfield show. he is pretty amazing.. but extremely full of himself. such as having too watch a 10min video about his awards and stuff. anways, can someone explain how for instance the body split.. cause criss angel does it too.. and they split the body.. and the roll the upper half and the lower half (both sepreate) around the stage.. then they push the two halves of the body back between the saw (which cut him apart) and the saw goes up, and hes back to normal???
also, he was on a harley davidson on stage, he rides onto a bridge, the bridge lifts about 30ft in the air.. the bottom of the bridge drops out, when that happens hes gone!, and 2seconds later, hes in the back of the stadium on his harley!!! can someone please explain this.... thank you!! i no its illusions, bout how can he teleport from the stage and the back of the stadium in like 2 seconds.

My wife, a few friends and I studied the Criss Angel sawing in half (thank you dvr!) and we figured out that his legs are fake (really good fake, but you can tell if you look really closely) and his lower half is set down in a slight recess. He just contorts his body, which you can see if you watch it over and over and over again. He's damn good though. I would assume David Copperfield does the same thing. As far as the harley, I'm not sure, my best guess is mirrors, because I've been studying magic and they are use a lot. Hope that helps!!

but that dosent explain, how his body gets cut in half lol.. i mean u can see his torso as they wheel him around, and his lower body, as they wheel that around..
as far as mirrors, dont think so man, because i was sitting next to where he poped up in the back of the stadium.. and my buddies were inthe front.. he was in the front, and boom he was in the back next to mee on that harley!!! crazyy man.. wish there was an explanation.

David Copperfield's full of crap. He said he made the Statue of Liberty disappear..
But he didn't..it's still there, I've seen it myself.
I think his, so-called 'special powers' may be limited; I think he's made the classic mistake and over-estimated them.

Sometimes, it is better not to know how they do their illusions.
Penn and Teller showed how some magic tricks are done and it spoilt it for me, I decided then, that I would rather not know and enjoy the show lol
