How Does David Coppertone Fly?

[fugley]

I saw a clip last night of David Chipperfield performing his leviatationonions routine.

I tit ye not! there was no string involved. He flew around the auditorionionimum (theatre) then guilded into a glass case upon which a glass lid was slided over the top.

He continued to float inside the case! He then walked on the underside of the lid.

He might be a greasy oik but by tit he knows his magic!

How is this done??? I demand to know immediately.

Kind Regards

Focus Supremo!!

The same way all his other big tricks are done..........

Clever craftsmen who make his props and some good editing.

Trust me ;)

:blink:
because his foot is only 3 inches long, and clever camera angles make it look higher

If someone could get me the instructions for the David Chopperstein's routine I could perform it in front of me wife in the livin room!

She would be so impressed! :blink:

Perhaps one of the mods might know - they seem to be a knowledgable type.. :blink:

Actually he does the tiptoe thing and they film the reaction then hoist him later on.

You will notice the cam looks over a shoulder to make it look like a person and they use a double when they hoist him up.

There are no mirrors.............just a hoist :)

@Fungly..........He supposedly made the Eifle tower vanish in front of a live audience too :rolleyes: See above for answer, they film the reaction to the same trick done to a lesser degree then refilm the stunt with wires etc :)

Trust me, I know about these things :D

You cant fly Fugs when you are crawling to Mods all the time. You are not getting Benders temporary job. I think Lilmiss has been offered it. :D
