Copperfield used video time edits.

Not camera tricks, not confederates but editing nonetheless. Some of those Copperfield effects could not have been performed in front of a live audience in one continuous segment. That's magic.


Yes, SOME of the tricks, such as the torn and restored baseball card. Stuff that was projected from video onto the screen during his show that he wasn't doing live, yes, some of that stuff. But for the most part, the illusions that he was doing live on stage in front of the audience,it's exactly what the televisioon audience was seeing at the same time.

Do you mean he didn't really make the Statue of Liberty disappear! I'm disappointed.

I have to agree about Mat Franco's show being terrible. I was insulted by all the edits, S----es, and cut- aways

I agree with E.E. HA! Is derek Hughes retarded? He gets the biggest stage he will ever have on National TV, and he does professors nightmare, a dumb rope trick that beginners can do.If had no material, he should have called Daniel Garcia or somebody, and said look I'm desparate,. I'm on the finals of AGT, national audience, and I got Bupkis.

I don't think Matt was terrible but I do think that Oz really raised the performance quality bar massively.

To my mind Oz deserved the win - his polish and routines were superb.
