  • IHaveIssues, on 06/10/2008, -0/+155Non-animated actual trick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIEIaE_Ti1Y
  • BuckleButt, on 06/10/2008, -3/+125Dugg for computerized voice when it says kILOgrams.
  • nicholasdog, on 06/10/2008, -2/+89All this time I thought it was happy thoughts and pixi- dust
  • CTK14A, on 06/11/2008, -6/+91Why has Will Ferrell not yet made a magician movie? Magicians are pompous asses. Picture Will with David Copperfield hair.
  • AshamedAmerican, on 06/11/2008, -1/+69I thought the sunovabitch finally figured out how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
  • bigbill780, on 06/11/2008, -2/+69Why is this being narrated by Anonymous?
  • diggjosh, on 06/10/2008, -1/+57Non-animated actual string:

  • Roger, on 06/11/2008, -0/+49The Magicians Alliance is gonna be pissed.
  • Animan351, on 06/11/2008, -1/+39in this video at the 1:54 mark you can see the ropes. The light hits it for a second and even in this low quality vid its easy to see them.
    : -( there went the magic for me.

  • dvsbastard, on 06/11/2008, -1/+37That trick was so unimpressive to watch after you know how he is doing it... It just seems so cheap now!
  • iPissExcellence, on 06/10/2008, -6/+42Worst fake ever. I watched the vid carefully and never saw that red string. Its not even attached to him, so it wouldn't serve any purpose.
  • TheRealToma, on 06/11/2008, -3/+34Leaf there speling a lone!
  • dib2, on 06/11/2008, -6/+35Was that microsoft sam speaking? God damn that was annoying.
  • Shigglyboo, on 06/10/2008, -1/+30cheater
  • xpinchx, on 06/11/2008, -0/+27I want to know how he does this one.

  • Avaseal, on 06/11/2008, -0/+25So wait.. is he gay?
  • doctechnical, on 06/11/2008, -0/+25Pixie dust has been a controlled substance since 1964.
  • antonio97b, on 06/11/2008, -1/+25Becuase all the Will Farrel movies after Anchorman suck ass and are the same thing in a different setting.

    How about a movie where some actor plays the same role in a every movie and fools audiences into paying 8 dollars every time.
  • bossm4n, on 06/11/2008, -3/+25Sounds to me like he flies with the help of Anonymous.
  • adamchristopher, on 06/11/2008, -1/+22***** random.
  • lamiaconfitor, on 06/11/2008, -0/+21God, I hate his sappy dream speech at the beginning... gag me with a spoon.
  • MScrip, on 06/11/2008, -0/+19So he used wires. That much I knew. But his execution is still amazing!
  • knickboy87, on 06/11/2008, -0/+19No one will top GOB anyway.
  • joshuapfarina, on 06/11/2008, -1/+20I noticed that too...but the computerized voice is really good. It adds inflection.
  • joshcxa, on 06/11/2008, -1/+18I saw it
  • Zyrix, on 06/11/2008, -0/+16Here is an explanation by Trickbusters:

  • trevah, on 06/11/2008, -1/+17Why the hell do they use a computerized voice? Their voice can't be THAT terrifying.
  • Jack8274, on 06/11/2008, -0/+15You can actually see the rings don't pass over him. Aww, the illusion is gone.
  • AngeloM3, on 06/11/2008, -6/+20"Your a phony! Everyone look at the big fat phony!"
  • pigducksheep, on 06/11/2008, -0/+14If he's as gay as you and that guy then he is very gay indeed.
  • franklymister, on 06/11/2008, -2/+16Douglas Adams joke, actually.

    Please tell me Family Guy didn't steal that joke.
  • Schmich, on 06/10/2008, -0/+14For me the interesting part of magic is try to figure out how they did it. Also, of course, that they manage to do it as I pretty much end up having no clue how they did it.
  • mrsteveman1, on 06/11/2008, -1/+14Fairy dust, however, is still legal with a doctors prescription.

    Sad that so many fairies have to die to make it though :( But hey, serves that bitch right for getting all my baby teeth.
  • sportz103, on 06/11/2008, -0/+12It's still real to me, damnit!
  • Roger, on 06/11/2008, -0/+12The zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line.
    I'm the firstborn. Sick of playing second fiddle. Always third in line for everything. Tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
  • fanclerks, on 06/11/2008, -0/+11So that the person who is talking can't be found?
  • juniorb, on 06/11/2008, -0/+11Well, when you start with the premise that people can't fly, and add to it that David Copperfield did most certainly not invent anti-gravity for a magic trick, it's pretty easy to narrow it down to some kind of wire illusion.

    From there, the questions really fall out on their own, and this video gives the best answers I've seen.
  • statuescrumble, on 06/11/2008, -1/+12I feel like something in me has died... I regret watching that.
  • metalgel, on 06/11/2008, -0/+10his coin tricks are better

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwU2MdQ3c_0
  • dvsbastard, on 06/11/2008, -0/+10He used that very same rope to tie her up...
  • DJNephilim, on 06/11/2008, -0/+10No-one's because "it's" is a contraction, not the possessive form of "it".
  • plopper, on 06/11/2008, -2/+11Does this mean that David Copperfield has not realized his dream of flying??????
  • fadetoone, on 06/11/2008, -3/+12Indeed. You can't trust an article with a misspelled title...
  • lazlonger, on 06/11/2008, -3/+12This has nothing to do with actually gay people (hi... i mean that) but that is seriously the gayest thing I have ever seen. No caps, no yelling....simply the gayest photons ever to fall on my retina....
  • jorad, on 06/11/2008, -0/+9This guy is obviously not an Aliance approved magician. Blackballed for sure.
  • gaapgod, on 06/11/2008, -0/+9I have determined that most diggers are completely incompetent when it comes to the English Language. "FLYS", really?!!
  • insinuate, on 06/11/2008, -3/+12dugg for twonk. rofl my waffle
  • inactive, on 06/11/2008, -2/+10Forget that... I want to know the secret of how a total prat like David Copperfield gets to shag Cindy Crawford!
  • spect3r, on 06/11/2008, -0/+8Microsoft sam?
