I saw this magical piece of art live in Boston in the 1990's. This is by far the most incredible piece of magic I witnessed in my entire life. The ghosts flew over us, they were all over and the vanish and reappearance of the members of the audience is like witnessing a Steven Spielberg movie live ! David Copperfield is not only the best illusionist of the 20th and 21st centuries, he's a true trailblazer and the only magician capable of good taste and discernement.
are you fo real? This is not CGI?
@@iletaMarchita In this TV special it's CGI, but I saw the illusion live on stage and there where actually flying things above the audience, but only from the stage to the back of the audience in a straight line. They were not flying around.
The reproduction at the end has always been a favorite of mine. So simple and clean. Thank you David for years of inspiration.
I remember when this special came out, I believe it was 94, my parents and I were leaving the El Torro Air show when we heard on the radio about it. We were huge fans of DC. The backstory on this freaked me out so much as a kid. Well Done! His assistants are gorgeous
This has always been one of my favorites…I’m thankful that my elementary school music teacher, was a magician on the side.
We never missed out on any of the DC televised shows; if the tv was in the room when we walked in - we knew it was a david Copperfield Special kind of day.
The story you made up with this illusion. And the hands bursting out of the room. Scared The F××× Out Of Me. When I was a kid.
Being about ten years old watching this when it first aired led to my life long phobia of Victorian houses 😂😂
No other magician is a better showman
Does anyone else remember watching this when they were a kid and I could swear I remember a woman's hand coming out from the steeple and trying to strangle david. It scared the hell out of me as a kid so it's weird I didn't see it here.
oh, it was there.
I like it was great the scene David get attacked with hands scared me
So what's your favorite part of this illusion?
I agree.
the coat is impressive.
The whole illusion is perfection. That said the flying ghosts are cool, the hands for the jump scare and reappearance so simple and effective. Amazing!
All of it. I remember watching this on TV as a kid.
Hi...please let me know the song in 12.17. Tq.
I know this is all a trick but I have experienced seeing what i think was an entity at my house from Nj when I was a kid and I think i see them from time to time.
again, fantastic.... :D
Love for DC but that volunteer John who was blindfolded was so obviously a stooge working along
I believe all three of them were stooges only because they knew when to step in front of the light for their reappearance. But yes, John definitely a stooge and they also had a duplicate jacket that David was quickly putting on while the curtain was rising with the original jacket. So David saying that they found weird random objects in the participants jackets is so BS. Still love him though!
Would someone tell me what the music in the background is called, which is heard when the house catches fire? I sincerely thank you.☺️🙏🙏🙏❤️
It’s from the movies north by north west
Great sound track
@@chipsotool thank you so much ☺️🙏❤️💪 my friend
@@chipsotool I found it thanks, but I didn't find the one from the scene where the house is on fire.☺️🙏
What is a magicians fav card game???? -- DJINN
OK even when I watched this as a teenager, I always assumed the ghosts flying over the audience was camera tricks and special effects. It just looks kind of fake, and the way the audience is reacting seems acted/scripted. But in the commentary he's really trying to insist that it's really happening and not camera tricks. And even that they're really floating/flying due to how they can be affected by the audience body heat. What does everyone think?? Still looks like camera trickery to me
I tought the same for so long, until now.. this is my explanation.. theres some real and some generated by computer....
Copperfield has admitted that some of the effects on TV/DVD were added in post-production. However, he states that he always tried to keep the appearance of the effects close to how the real audience would have experienced them in the theater.
I saw "Dreams and Nightmares" live in Munich in 1998 and can tell you that the ghosts really flew through the auditorium in different zig-zag courses. However, the ghosts did not fly through rows of audience members as the TV-version implies. So I think Copperfield made it look a bit more impressive in post-production. However, I agree - the overall effect on TV looks a bit fake which is a shame since the real deal looked incredible already.
@@AgeCreationTutorials I too saw this show in England in what was to him a small theatre. Yes there were "ghost" flying about live at that show and if anything, they were more impressive than the fake looking ones in this video. The general smoke and flashes are what happens in a live show but that really big explosion has been added in the video only as it would have been too dangerous to do that on stage. It's the reappearance that got to me. I know what to look for and there was no way whatsoever for the 3 people to get to that very thin platform and behind the curtain. It was almost at the front of the stage and you could see clearly all around it. Then there they were. I now know how they did, but at the time, I almost cried.
@@chrismatthewson9346 The disappearance and reappearance in the Barclay House are to this day one of the few illusions I cannot fully explain - which is a good thing :-)
@@AgeCreationTutorials As a magician myself, I can see it from both sides as even when known I can enjoy the work and showmanship that still has to go into achieving the effect. Any trick is or at least should be greater that the elastic band that makes it work. So even if you know about the elastic band, you should still enjoy the skill and performance to pull off a trick.
With this one illusion and the reappearance, I am not ashamed to say that it caught me out big time and had the very rare privilege of feeling like a kid again. Sadly that doesn't happen much now that I understand the workings of illusions. Even now that I know how it was done, I can still admire the mastery of what they do to pull it off.
