He would have a special magic show run on ABC every couple of years.  The first shows were impressive on-stage magic acts then he moved on to making a private jet disappear.  He soon upped that by making the Statue of Liberty disappear.  He swore no camera tricks were employed.  How did he do it?

He was supposed to open a magic shop in Downtown Disney in Orlando about ten or twelve years ago, but that never materialized.

He rotated the stands the people sat and watched from ever so slowly so when he opened the curtain they were looking in a different direction than they were before.

He's a huge draw with a sustained show in Vegas.  Far from gone and in fact probably the most successful illusionist in the world.  Though I like Penn and Teller better...

Yeah, I actually liked his specials. You don't see good magic anymore.

The stage and area where the live audience sat rotated very slowly so that the statue of liberty was actually behind them once the curtain was opened.

When I saw "David Copperfield" in your thread title, I first thought of the Dickens novel.

Last I heard about Doug, he had pretty much gone batshit crazy, believed he could do magic for real and was planning on building an amusement park that actually levitated.

She is supposed to be a ding-bat deluxe. Others in the modeling world allegedly call her "Schiffer-brains"

Yep.

His Wikipedia page talks about the amusement park but pretty much de-emphasizes the crazy part.

I don't know if he believed it or not. He would always say "welcome to the world of llusion."

That is correct. The entire stands rotated slowly so that one of the upright curtain supports on the stage blocked the Statue from view.



Now about the Ether Bunny......
