I've seen it live twice. The lighting is SO much worse live, and there are a couple of moments in the TV oresentation where an edit (cut) takes place.

I have to say, I liked it better when Fearson did it.

Fearsons version reveals the gimmick slightly.

I agree with Chris. I also like the Fearson presentation. At first, I thought DC did a camera trick on some parts of the effect until I saw Steve Fearson perform it for a Japanese channel. It was unbelievable and so natural.

I watched the DC version countless time and couldn't figure it out. It was only until I saw the Fearson version that gave it away. I like DC's version cause I think the going down that ramp adds to it.

Where can we find a video clip of Fearson performing this ?

DC is just so awesome. I would love to see Fearson perform it.

Here you can watch the demo video for Fearson sawing

Thanks laci200 !

Troller: You said "It looks like two seperate bodies. If you go to davidcopperfield.com, skip the intro, go to TOUR, you will see a great picture of David Doing the illusion. "

This picture has been digitally edited. Just to let you know.

Fearson is a genius.

You right Bill

I agree. I have watched both videos. In Fearson's video, you can easily see the gimmick and what is going on if you watch closely. Either way, it is still one great illusion and DC has mastered it beautifully.
