The illusions performed are: "Heaven On The Seventh Floor" (aka "Elevator"), "Interlude", "Graffiti Wall", "Squeeze Box", "Mind Control", "Orson Welles From Beyond", "Touch The Magic - Destinations Of Flight" (the second of the interactive games performed in four specials), "Flying" and then "Flying Outside Of The Theater". "Flying" is an illusion for which Copperfield had worked for seven years, much more than any other one. Before performing it, he invites a part of the audience to go on stage to see the illusion close up, and makes them sit to the left of the stage itself, then asks two people to examine a plexiglas container. So, he sits on stage and begins to tell that he dreamed to fly since he was a child, a child who felt lonely. At the end of his story he shows a black and white short montage in which other people in the past shared his dream but failed. Then, while he is lying on stage, a falcon named Icarus that is standing on his left hand starts flying. So, Copperfield begins his own performance, flying freely for several minutes and also flying into the plexiglas container, and then flying again freely but with a girl held on to his arms. Before the beginning of this special's closing credits Copperfield exits the theater among the audience and at this point in front of a camera he performs the last illusion, "Flying Outside Of The Theater", toward the night sky. Immediately after that, the falcon does the same thing from a branch. Written by Lorenz-pictures See less
