In a show review from The Washington Post from 1985, it sayd that David
Copperfield performed a "very impressive illusion where he seemed to melt
through a welded steel wall".
I have never seen him perform this illusion on tour or in any of his
television specials. It is, however, mentioned in his 1988 tour
program.
Has anyone ever seen this illusion? I would appreciate it if you could
mail me any information, preferable a description of the effect, style of
performance and music, etc. at:

I saw Copperfield perform this several years ago in Jackson,
Mississippi...probably around '88 although I don't remember exactly. It was
performed EXACTLY like the walking through the Great Wall of China illusion
including the music, heart monitor, etc. It was actually VERY impressive.

I saw him do this in Rochester, NY years ago. If you saw the Great Wall
special, it was the same effect. Lights, stairs, heart monitor, the
works. It looked great. He had people in the audience check the wall
for openings, trap doors, etc. beforehand.

Michael, this must be a stage adaptation of his Walking Through
The Great Wall of China, which he did perform on TV. It's also
a modernized adaptation of an illusion Houdini used to perform,
in which several men from the audience would construct a brick
wall on stage during the course of the show. When it was built,
Houdini would "walk through the wall."

Yes, it was the Great Wall effect. Houdini's routine was similar, but
performed differently. His brick wall was built on a small enclosed
platform with a small curtain on each side, allowing him to go under the
wall. DC's wall was on an open platform where you could see all around
it. The method he used was the same as the Great Wall.

I saw David Copperfield perform the steel wall illusion on his tour in
the year that his Walking through the Great Wall was televised. That
was the same show where he performed the Crazy Man's Handcuffs as an
impromptu trick for some Chinese children.
The steel wall illusion uses a completely different principle than what
was used in Houdini's Walking through a Brick Wall. However the
principle used is similar to what David is using on his current tour
where he disappears into a giant fan. The shadow box used in the giant
fan illusion is the same as the one used in his steel wall illusion. In
fact, if you were to imagine the giant fan as a steel wall, you would
get a good idea on how that illusion looked like except with the giant
fan he disappears, while with the wall he is seen coming through the
wall into another shadow box placed on the other side.
