Title: Copperfield's Laser Illusion
Description: copyrighted for lifetime?

I believe everybody knows of the Laser illusion performed widely be David Copperfield. It's an effect which brought sawing into half to a whole new age then. No boxes involved!

I believe it's originated by Steve Fearson.

Like the topic description, i want to know how long more will it be copyrighted? I thought i read somewhere that it's for life.

That clip is exactly the one or extremely similar to the one Steve Fearson invented, David Copperfield uses.

Hmm, too bad though, there are some bad things about it. I don't wish to say alas.

What I heard is that Copperfield bought the TV rights.

Meaning to say, only Copperfield has the right to perform it on TV, or something like that. So if you are thinking of performing this in a stage environment it's maybe ok.

i THINK...

Anyway, I think performing for friends and DandD should be ok.

Whats the name of the version Steve Fearson invented?

Well, misty replies here. I shall remain safe until the time comes.

What Coppefield uses is what Fearson invented. Exactly the same except improvised by the man himself.

To say the least, there's an effect out there which looks similar and can be performed!
