Making the '''[[Statue of Liberty]] seem to disappear''' on live television (on April 8, 1983) is the creation of David Copperfield, [[Jim Steinmeyer]],<ref>http://www.jimsteinmeyer.com/profile/</ref> and [[Don Wayne]]. In the illusion, [[David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] raises a giant curtain on Liberty Island before lowering it again a few seconds later to reveal that the space where the statue once stood is now empty. A helicopter hovers overhead to give an aerial view of the illusion, and indeed the statue appears to have vanished and only the circle of lights surrounding the statue remain. To prove that it is really gone, Copperfield then passes two searchlights through the space where the statue stood, to show there is nothing blocking the way. A live audience sits in an enclosed viewing area, and most of the camera shots are from the same area. |

The secret is to move the audience themselves, not the statue. |
