The Magic of David Copperfield XII: The Niagara Falls Challenge

Edit
David Copperfield always negates to recur to camera tricks for his illusions. In this special he finally decides to perform an illusion using a camera, illusion just called "Camera Trick" (aka "Camera Vanish"), in which he makes disappear a CBS genuine camera, that he hides in a proper container. The camera transmits on a monitor present on the stage live images of the stage itself until few seconds before the container opening, and it appears empty: the camera is missing.
The "Cardiographic" (aka "Card From Paper") illusion has been performed again in the international version of Copperfield: Tornado of Fire (2001), but named "Moon Rise" (aka "Moon Interactive").
The "Memories" (aka "The Attic") illusion has been already performed in The Magic of David Copperfield II (1979).
The "Walking Through A Mirror" illusion makes a really wide use of the original motion pictures score composed and conducted by James Horner for *batteries not included (1987).
The "Niagara Falls Challenge" escape makes a really wide use of the original motion pictures score composed and conducted by James Horner for Aliens (1986).
