I fully agree that it was hard to top David in his prime. He changed the face of magic in so many ways and created truly memorable imagery that will stand the test of time. I could easily justify many of the things he did just because he's a friend and because we have youtube now and many other reasons. I just can't. That is the same excuse Cris Angel and so many others use now. I'm just not sure I can get behind that 100%.
I will say that David used the technology VERY cleverly over the years from his first special on. He used the medium as no one else had and it took a while to achieve techniques that would work live for him... but he did and he truly mastered live performance.

Well, the effect is the same and that's all that counts. right?
Yes the live version used a different method but the method he used for the camera was a method many have used in front of the camera before. Using the cameras single line of sight is a big part of magic on tv/internet these days. And this method is valid for a live audience as well as long as you can constrain them to the same line of sight. The vanish of the statue of liberty, arguably on of the greatest illusions ever, uses this as a method and no one ever complains about it. Probably because there was a live audience at the same time who was fooled just the same. So I don't see what all the hullabaloo is. I think you must draw the line when things like after effects or other such imaging manipulation programs are used to bring about the magic effect. |

I'm more amazed that David Copperfield can take Whoopi's head off, make it grow bigger, and place it in that magic box, all while she's talking.
