The performer casually asks, "Fancy a look at the I Hate David Copperfield trick? Want to know why I’ve named it that? Because "I Hate David Copperfield." Now, before you get the wrong idea, I don’t actually hate him. He’s a lovely chap and a brilliant magician... it’s just that every time someone discovers I’m a magician, they can’t help but compare me to him. "Can you stroll through the Great Wall of China?" "Can you make the Statue of Liberty vanish?" "Do you date a supermodel?" (That last one stings the most.) So, I thought I’d whip up something old Copperfield can’t do: a close-up illusion that unfolds right before your eyes.
What follows is a jaw-dropping moment as the performer visibly and seamlessly melts one card through another, making it look like some trick photography—only it’s happening live, and you’ll do it three times!
Geoff Williams’ I Hate David Copperfield Trick is an ultra-visual, ultra-practical, and ultra-cool rendition of Larry Jennings’ classic "The Close-Up Illusion." It’s a miracle you’ll want to carry around all the time, guaranteed to leave your audience utterly gobsmacked. Seriously, it looks like real magic... even to you while you're performing it.
