I found out that on the levitation that he did where he levitated about two feet for the women was over dubed. What they saw was the Balducci one, then over dubed. I also researched Copperfields walking thru the wall of China...They didn't show on tv the crane that lifted up the platform that he first went in and placed it on the other side. Some illusions that are done on tv cannot be done in real life...there is machinery noise that the tv can edit..personally....I feel, if you have to pay people to ignore noises to pull of illusions...and use machinery that the camera doesn't show to pull it off is an insult to hard working magicians who put time , effort,( and the love of the art) into preforming magic in it's purest form. I would rather see up close, in your face magic...as opposed to the other. That's just my opinion. Don't get me wrong. I'm not downing stage magic..heck..I even do it. But I will not tape and edit and pass it of as this is how I really did it.

i agreed with you. i used to like david blaine until i found out that he's more into editing his video than presenting as how it is.
