But don’t expect any insights into magic and especially secrets. For Copperfield fans, there’s some fun information to be gleaned here. While magicians would just about kill for commentary that explains Copperfield’s approach to magic and staging and insights into the illusions, what you get here are comments on the stage design, where the illusions were filmed and his remembrances about performing the segments (what else could he do?). The DVD offers commentary by David Copperfield. Copperfield shows a sense of humor when he comments on his seventies-era fashions and haircut. I would prefer to see the presentations in their entirety, just as they aired, but this is the next best thing. The show includes the disappearance of the Orient Express, the amazing Flying (in my opinion one of the best illusions and presentation ever), the disappearance of the Statue of Liberty, the vanishing of the airplane and more. Copperfield, of course, has performed some astounding feats, and it’s fun to watch many of them here. Most are edited in some way, usually to shorten them, and many appear with different music. Because this is a highlight reel, you don’t get to see each illusion as it originally aired.
#The art of illusion dvd release date tv
For those who already have a copy of the “15 Years of Magic” special, there’s some additional footage from a TV show that aired after the special. As such, the DVD serves Copperfield’s biggest illusions and some select effects. The DVD is pretty much a dressed-up version of his “15 Years of Magic” special that aired on CBS some years ago. And it’s a must see for magic and Copperfield fans. His DVD, David Copperfield: Illusion, presents highlights from his long television career.
No other magician is as well known to the lay public, has been around as long, presents stronger illusions or touches the hearts of spectators better than Copperfield. N our art of magic, David Copperfield rules.
