Question
How does David Copperfield separates his body with his hands standing up? I heard the inventor was "Steve Fearson" You can watch these 2 videos from others who somehow learned to make the apparatus. At http://youtube.com/watch?v=vQ1ww6cJN_E & http://video.yahoo.com/watch/67154 Where can I buy the secret to make my own apparatus?

And

How does Florian Zimmer make that dice levitate while it's spinning in the air as it floats between his hands and makes it dissappears when it lands in his hand? Do you know where he learned how to do that? I'm interested in buying this secret. You can watch the video at http://youtube.com/watch?v=2qauJ29vPT0 (This trick starts at the 2 minute point in the video so you can fastward it there to see what I'm talking about) Thank you for any help you can provide Edd.

Answer
You are correct. Steve Fearson did invent that illusion and as far as I know it is not for sale. The people who built it must have figured it out on their own.

As per the dice: You must be on Steve Fearson kick because he is using the same method as Steve's floating cigarette. You can buy it on his website www.downloadmagic.com.
