On September 16, one of the most popular and charismatic magicians in the world, David Copperfield, celebrates his birthday. He captivated the audience with his magic shows, in which he presented the most complex and very effective tricks.

We decided to remember and show Copperfield's most spectacular tricks.

Falling from Niagara Falls

David Copperfield dared to conquer the world's largest waterfall - Niagara. Many magicians did this, but, of course, David did the trick in his own way: he was tied to a board suspended from chains on a special raft, and closed on top with an iron box. For entertainment, the raft was also set on fire.

In order not to die in the waterfall, he had only one minute - of course, he used his time as needed.

Passage through the Great Wall of China

The famous historical monument, the Great Wall of China, also succumbed to the magic of Copperfield. Of course, even here it was not without special designs and boxes covered with a translucent canvas.

The device detected the magician's pulse rate, which made it possible to track his movements. And soon he effectively stepped into the wall and no less impressively appeared on the other side of it.

Disappearance of the Statue of Liberty

The disappearance trick of one of the largest statues in the world and the symbol of New York has also become one of the most famous of all Copperfield's stunts. Two towers were placed in front of the statue, and a veil was stretched over them. The veil completely enveloped the statue, and when it suddenly lowered, the monument was not in its place. Lights lit up the void. However, after the second lifting of the veil, the statue was again in its place.

The Riddle of the Orient Express

The Orient Express was a luxury train that ran between Paris and Istanbul in the 19th century. This splendid cast was often the setting for novels and detective stories and was shrouded in mystery and mystery. David Copperfield made one of the express cars disappear, and before that, with the help of a trick with cards, the viewers themselves chose the car that would disappear - or rather, David tried to guess their choice.
