This is a bizarre thread for me, since I have worked for some relatively famous magicians. I have also built "new" illusions for them. One of the biggest complaints was basically threads likes this and YouTube, reddit, etc "ruining" their shows. When I was rehabbing some older gags, it was like pulling teeth. Show me the trick. No Problem. Now show me how you do it. Ughhh. . .well. . . I need to know how you did it to build it. Okay fine. Some of the newer Illusions were easier because I was a involved in the design process. Too bad NDAs are a thing or I'd be all over this thread. But I will definitely Nth that charisma and story telling are fuggin huge for large shows.

I just watched a video of the Copperfield flying rig, and it looks like a pretty standard fan style ZFX or Foy rig. My guess would be multiple super thin cables, on swivels at the hips. Probably computer controlled to maintain tension. In theater we tend to do a single wire to each hip, but I've seen rigs where its uses multiple smaller wires to be less noticeable. Still really neat. Unless the lady he picks up and flew with was a plant, I have no idea how his insurance would have signed off on that. He'd also have to be in real good shape, that would be a physical workout for sure.
