    616doughboy: unfortunately the video’s been taken down - in future I will download them. I dont have any other link at this moment - but basically he used special, super light yet super strong strings which are controlled by his staff from above. He then cleverly sidestepped the circles, then for the in-the-box part, gaps on its sides enable him to be still attached to the strings.

    Thank you for you response. I see that the explanation video is now up.I have seen David Copperfield’s show 3 times. It seems to get better each time I see it. Do you know how the person in the box trick works? Someone get into a box, they push swords through it or split the box in half and even separate it. The body seems to disappear.Sometimes a hand is shown through a hole in the box to show the person is still there. Appreciate any comments.

    I recently saw the “Twister” trick performed at a local amusement park. I have seen David Copperfield do this trick on the internet also. Do you have any idea how this trick is performed? I thought they used mirrors at first, but when her head spun around and around in clear view of the audience, I was stunned. I have seen this trick several times and still can not figure out how it is done.

    The comment I made earlier with my name Billy in it did not go through. Anyway, my question was, are you all still around? I have not seen anything new on your site for awhile. Hope to see or hear from you soon.

    Hi Billy, sorry about that. I have been tied down with other things - hope to get right on it soon.
