Lol… Sorry but as an illusionist, FCC Drone Pilot and Aerial Rigger who has flown dozens of celebrities, it’s not drones!

These are wires that spin around really fast. Think of a helicopter. When the blades spin really fast, it is almost impossible to see them from a certain angle. With wires, there are a few mounted to each corner and it spins at a high speeds in which human vision can no longer see the suspension. Also, if you look at the video, the carpet only flys in the middle area of the stage. By spinning it around through a crane-like hoist, it gives off the illusion that the carpet is moving forward and backwards. Another layer of evidence is that there is a patent online for this kind of technology. I’ve seen this show three times on broadway, and I am absolutely 1000% sure that this is how they make it fly.

The OSHA (department of labor) would never allow actors to be suspended in mid-air by drones 40 feet above a stage. It is extremely dangerous and risky. Also, the amount of power that would be needed to keep 2 actors suspended would drain a battery in a matter of minutes.

It is literally impossible for any drone to lift that much weight on its own. Not sure what made everyone here believe this is drone powered but it a drone can’t even lift 5 pounds of weight it cannot lift 500

It uses 9 wires per corner spinning at high speed. US Patent 2014/022.4951 A1

But how would they combat the sound of the turbines in 5:43.

It can’t be drones, as they would produce a significant downward thrust that would immediately disperse all the smoke.

I can't beleive THAT is what you used to disprove it

This is not done by drones... Ever heard of David Copperfield? Technology that assisted David Copperfield to fly was used for this. Using drones would be highly unsafe and unreliable. You can't see it in the video but when watching this live, if you watch closely you can sometimes see the wires. The wires are very fine and string that spin rapidly which is why you don't see them.

Noah Murakami no....no they don’t. Fact

First of all it isn’t drones... there are no drones unless they are the size of a helicopter that is able to lift a human. Broadcast drones which are the size of a small round table barely have enough lift to lift the camera along with the wireless transmitters and batteries. John Gaughan was the person who invented this technique for David Copperfield which Jim Steinmeyer consulted with (who is illusionist designer fro Disney Theatricals). They are very thin steel cables that are essentially a loop which is then spun at high speeds to reflect as much light to give the appearance of them almost being invisible. With David Copperfield there is only one loop, for the magic carpet it is two loops. If you make contact with them, you’ll get a very nasty friction burn and cut. The circles in the four corners of the carpet have nothing to do with the flying. They are covers to hide the lights which up light the actors during A Whole New World so followspots don’t have to be used which then cast shadows on the star cloth behind.

Douglas Roth wires...I work in technical theatre, and I’ve seen the thing first hand. There is a track in the grid that runs the full width of the stage, on that track is a platform that contains the rotator unit and the 4 pick up motors for the wires connected to the 4 corners of the carpet. It was built by a company called Tait Towers. Here is the patent patents.google.com/patent/US20140224951

kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHqK29KOlbiXl6g.html

Is this Broadway? The singing is terrible.

If you look at the test footage in this video you can see a very large shadow to the left of the carpet being cast from above that moves when the carpet travels forward It’s the shadow of the overhead that is suspending the carpet on wires

Thank you so much for this. A great enough explanation for myself and 6 year olds. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

Its on itunes i have it

i think that it has wires but the propellers on the ends are to help ti move faster so then its harder to spot the wires. so the propellers keep it constantly shaking at a fast rate so then the wires dissapear in an illusional way.

HA my class got the tickets for free and we went to meet some of the actors and actresses and we got to ask questions. And they said the magic carpet was flying because of Disney magic.

The "fans" are spinning cables. I sat at a weird angle last time I saw it and we could see the tops of the cables glistening

when the background music came on i started singing on my own from les miserables it just went so well😂

If it was drones, it would have to be constantly spinning to be stored. I have been on the stage and looked up into the fly deck to see the carpet right there above the stage. It would also be too loud with drones, just saying . . .

Thats still not how it works. The carpet flies with three wires on each corner that spin in a circle at a speed that allows the eye not to see it. It really is just wires. Drones would cause far too much wind and noise to be used in a production like this, especially with the actors microphones being so close to where the "drones" would be mounted.

It cannot be drones. Any drone strong enough to lift two full grown people would make one HELL of a noise. The simplest solution is usually correct; it's done with 4 thin wires in the corners of the carpet.

the flying carpet scene they had in disney california adventure was the best

It’s defiantly not done by drones I was say in the 2nd row last night and there are some sort of strings attached with a big mechanism up top that spins but can’t figure out how they strong is almost unnoticeable

it can not be a drone you have to be stupid to think that. drones would be way too loud it is thin strong wires spun fast to blur them from the audience.

All these whacked out spinning cables and flying drones theories are beyond absurd... have none of you ever thought about the reality of that idea? The noise would be so obvious and loud, the rolling fog on the floor would be blown all off the stage, and the actors would be dangerously close to the machinery. I cannot handle the level of stubborn naivety in some of these comments. People literally insulting others for stating they are incorrect when it’s so obvious that this proposal is beyond poorly conceived and completely impossible.

I can't believe this is still a debate... the idea that it's a drone is laughably ridiculous. I literally can't roll my eyes hard enough and the guy that made this video is well... misinformed under his/her own biased research.

The drones would need to be so powerful that the rest of the cast on the stage and the first five rows of the stalls would be blown away and the whole auditorium would be deafened by the motors. So it has to magic!

Excellent question they do have a sheet on the ground during that part and people are saying wires which might be the case but if it was drones they do not take up a whole lot of air because they mostly depend on their power source to make them spin enough and they specially designed not to take up that much air due to the fact that there are 1 in each corner. Plus this just a hypothesis.

It's not drones. It is aircraft cables spinning rapidly. Drones would be too loud, and would have to be very large to carry the weight. If you look at drones that are used in the film industy, you can see that even those are very large, and carry less than 10 kg.

Maybe the wires are just on the actors for in case they fall?

Yep! It must be drones, drones that make no noise and or air turbulence, as in, blowing crap all over the stage and that are powerful enough to lift two humans!! Dude! If you believe this is drones because you cant figure it out then you probably believe the earth is flat cause it looks flat from your point of view! Hello!
