In 1992 David Copperfield lit the magic world on fire and changed how magicians would approach the art of weightlessness forever.

We have all experienced dreams of flight. It’s a universal fantasy that transcends every culture.

I wanted to capture the spirit of the illusion in this storyboard format detailing the basic steps that played out on stage nightly. From floating above the clouds, through the rotating hoops only to be reunited with the stage, reminding us once again that “gravity can be a stubborn foe“.

the drawing is similar to a blueprint of what I can only imagine the original ideas started out as. Order yours today so you can relive that feeling of “soaring on the playgrounds of birds and angels“.

This is available in a 16″ x 20″ format.  (40.64 x 50.8 cm)

It is printed on matte poster paper to limit smudging and with UV resistant inks to preserve color fastness.
