The Statue of Liberty is a sign of America and one of the most famous monuments on the continent. The statue has always attracted attention by its height, size, weight, monumentality at last. Therefore, the focus with its disappearance, which was done by David Copperfield, still haunts many.
In fact, Copperfield, which made the Statue of Liberty disappear for several minutes, was only a performer. The trick was invented by the famous illusion designer Jim Steinmeier and it was realized only once - Copperfield. This most famous illusionist trick was performed before the eyes of many admiring observers.
Night
The trick was done at night for a reason. Two towers were erected in front of the Freedom Monument. The statue was brightly lit so that even on radars the mark from it was distinguishable. The pulsing radar monitors showed large, so that the viewers had no doubt that they, the accurate and impartial devices, would be responsible for the presence of the statue on the pedestal, no matter what the magician did.
And then
A white canvas is pulled up on the towers, then it is lowered, and the amazed audience sees: the statue has disappeared. The only thing that observers managed to consider was the lighting left from the monument. Radars exposed the empty screens of monitors, the pulsating label of the statue also disappeared. There is no object.
Then the manipulation of matter is repeated, and the statue appears in front of the audience.
