He removes the three starting circles which means whatever number you choose you will always retrace your way to the top star and then move three extra times to land on the city. Once you're there you will always end up on the moon four steps from there in whatever direction. So people who say that they ended up somewhere else counted wrong.

Wow this brings back memories. This was from a tv special probably from 1993. I had it recorded on VHS and watched it all of the time. I'll never forget watching him "fly" for the first time.

Haha so funny. Love Copperfield. I remember analyzing this for a half hour as a kid. Anytime you start three positions outside the puzzle and then go backwards the same number you started from, you will always be three positions past the entry point. On the second turn everyone was in the city.

family reunited 30 years ago to watch this special, I remember my cousin touching the screen,. "You're on the moon" it's probably the coolest TV moment I've ever witness in my life.

The very first time this went live on T.V. All the numbers were right! Amazing David Copperfield!

The trick is amazing built. If you count 5 to 15, you step 3 to the first real symbol ("Star"), and 2 to 12. Because he took the "X" and the 2 arrow, if you step reverse 5 to 15, you will exactly 3 step from the first real symbol ("Star"), right on the "City". Because he left only 8 symbols, if you step 4, you can only be on Moon, which is 4 steps from the city both direction. This is only math, but the performance is great!

I was 8 when this aired. Brings back great memories.

I remember this punk kid, Michael St. Pierre. who was in my middle school classroom (I think maybe 4th or 5th grade) he was such a bully. Anyway, he taped the trick off his TV at home & brought into class to show us. I remember him saying, "I'm not sure this will work off the videotape like it did on TV....... " 🙄

"You are on the moon!" once was being my earworm for years because he was correct. 🤣🤣

I did this originally and thought it was awesome. I did this when it first aired. This is still impressive.

Born in 2002 but I vaguely remember the 80s/ 90s life (vhs tapes, box tv, 360p). I remember my old man showing this to me, my older brother, and two little sisters. Life was kind of good back then I guess.

Fantastic!

Ah yes.. But of course !!! ;-)

he removed the 3 starting points and asks to move backwards... so we'd always end up at the same spot. from there its just 4 spaces to the moon no matter clockwise or anticlockwise. the real magic is his charisma and technique in distracting the audience from seeing the obvious logic all the while. thats the illusion and he's a master at this no doubt

i remember doing this at home too!!!! i was sooo excited!!!!

i didn't move close to my screen or touch it at all. I even had to pause it for a minute when i came back this fool still found me

After almost 20 years later. This is still amazed me 😱😱

aaah these Tv Specials and others like it through the 80s and 90s were just that MAGICAL. good old days of Tv. Now its nothing but crap n trash.

I remember seeing this as a kid and it really blew me away, Awesome!!

I remember this on the tv the first time it aired and played along with my parents watching me... i dont think i followed the instructions right as he didnt get my choice right lol

This trick simultaneously creeped me out and blew my mind. Something about the ethereal music and background mixed with the game pieces was weird.

I don’t even really care how’s it’s done 😂😂….. that was fun

You will always end up on the City before he removes the tokens, after that its the moon for you. Pick any number 5-15, count it out on the wheel, reverse direction and count the same number. NEVER count your start point as 1. That is where a large number of people fail to have this work, this trick relies on math and if you can't count right it won't work.

i saw him in at the MGM, the night the guy shot out of the mandalay bay. he locked us in for security

Great!!!Ur amazing

I wonder how many moms told the kids the tv had the Diablo in it after seeing this

You're told to pick a number between 5 and 15. But the trick still works if you choose 3. Regardless of what number you choose, when you count backward, you land on the city.

you will always land on the tree I'm guessing my connection is slow but I can't believe this astonished me as a kid

haha, nostalgic memories!

Not going to lie he got it correct

The Warlock, David Copperfield found me again! Even all these years later! There’s no hiding from him, even on the moon! 😎

I miss watching this as a kid, even though knowing that this is a trick you can't win lol. you'll end up on the moon no matter what

really cool 😎

He got me!😭

cool i like the title saying tv or computer screen

That's so cool

Wow he gets ne every single time

140 people didn't manage to follow instructions! 😂

I was in the city!!

yup he got me nice

Omg. I really was on the moon at the end. 👍

lol He FOUND ME!!!! LOL

It'll always be the moon no matter what you choose.

It's all about patterns. Whatever number you choose within his range, you'll end up at the same spot.

I swear back in my vhs i rewind the tape sure you will always end up in the moon but then he took out the symbols in different order then it was before after i rewind it and it creeped me out

What’s cool is that, when you think about it, the key to the magic here is MATH

The only magic here is that mullet.

This time I was on Lady Liberty. When I was little he found me haha

I think there's a mathematical equation behind this trick

And he does know where she is!

He didn't find me I was on the clouds.

This would work if you choose 3 or 4 too

Thank you dear David! You still are my hirror AH SWEDEN

Omg it's true how does he know! And he does it to Ms.Green well

I got yeeted, I was at the Statue of Liberty 🗽

It's moon everytime

Wow it was fantastic. I was on the toilet when I’m doing this by the time arrow point at the moon the pooh feel down y not try on the toilet as well fellas... it’s amazing.

I remember this from my childhood. Mystery of the Orient Express I believe

Force!

Dope

So basically for aspiring Magicians such as myself, this is the perfect trick for getting use of decks that are missing many cards. 1. Make a trail of 15 cards. Starting at 1, volunteer counts any # between 5 and 15. *Careful, the 2nd card is one step, not the 1st, so the 5th step is actually card in the 6th position, etc. 2. Magician removes cards 1, 2, 3 and volunteer must go opposite direction the same amount as 1st time. 3. Magician removes cards from the new positions of 4,6,8 and 12. Volunteer to move 4 spaces in either directions. They wind up in the position of 2nd card of 9 choices either way.

What a freakin showman!
