David Copperfield plans to make moon disappear in epic stunt 30 years in making

David Copperfield is taking his powers of illusion to the stars.

In an interview with “Today,” the magician announced the plans for his latest stunt. “I’m going to make the moon disappear,” he said.

“It’s taken 30 years of work, that’s literally 30 years of our lives to develop it,” he said. “And there’s multiple methods to make it work, and I’m collaborating with Save the Children, an amazing organization to show the world the difference one person can make.”

He continued, “If one person can make the moon disappear from the sky, imagine how together we can make poverty and hunger and danger disappear for our children on Earth.”

The illusion is set to take place in February 2024, and rehearsals are already underway.

“They’re going well,” Copperfield said. “In fact, I’ve been testing them the past few months and people have reported seeing strange things in the sky at night all around the country.”

“So, if anybody [at] home sees anything weird up in the sky, please let me know by tagging me on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook,” he added.

Fans will have the opportunity to see the illusion in person by entering an upcoming contest on his social media.

Making the moon disappear is just the latest in Copperfield’s more than 40-year career of incredible stunts and illusions. Below is a look back at some of his most memorable performances.

In relation to video editing and what we do here at Alchemy Inc... I am very interested to find out if any camera tricks and effect techniques are used to achieve the final result.
