David Copperfield's Flying Illusion
The Flying Illusion is an illusion performed by David Copperfield in several magic shows, in which he flies on stage for several minutes surrounded by audience members. The flight is notable for its graceful motion and unencumbered appearance. The illusion was performed in Copperfield's fifteenth TV special The Magic of David Copperfield XIV: Flying - Live The Dream (1992), and has been repeated several times during Copperfield's live tours around the world. The illusion was created by John Gaughan.
