I am so glad I saw this thread before it gets too many replies because I have excellent information.
I was at a David Copperfield show when he did his teleportation trick and I am convinced it is real because he appeared right in front of me. Only 3 seat rows in front of me. People were sitting there. And then in 0.2 seconds he went from being on the stage 120 feet away, to only 15 feet away standing on a small platform that wasn't even there before, and the people who were sitting where he teleported were GONE, and their seats were gone too. I just don't see how that's possible. I'm open to it being real unless a good explanation is provided.
