- This is the 14th CBS Copperfield TV special, introduced by the host James Earl Jones, who talks about the "flying dream" while David Copperfield is sitting at a large desk in a room where the window illuminates only the desk itself. The illusions performed are: "Heaven On The Seventh Floor" (aka "Elevator"), "Interlude", "Graffiti Wall", "Squeeze Box", "Mind Control", "Orson Welles From Beyond", "Touch The Magic - Destinations Of Flight" (the second of the interactive games performed in four specials), "Flying" and then "Flying Outside Of The Theater". "Flying" is an illusion for which Copperfield had worked for seven years, much more than any other one. Before performing it, he invites a part of the audience to go on stage to see the illusion close up, and makes them sit to the left of the stage itself, then asks two people to examine a plexiglas container. So, he sits on stage and begins to tell that he dreamed to fly since he was a child, a child who felt lonely. At the end of his story he shows a black and white short montage in which other people in the past shared his dream but failed. Then, while he is lying on stage, a falcon named Icarus that is standing on his left hand starts flying. So, Copperfield begins his own performance, flying freely for several minutes and also flying into the plexiglas container, and then flying again freely but with a girl held on to his arms. Before the beginning of this special's closing credits Copperfield exits the theater among the audience and at this point in front of a camera he performs the last illusion, "Flying Outside Of The Theater", toward the night sky. Immediately after that, the falcon does the same thing from a branch.
- This is the 16th and penultimate CBS Copperfield TV special, which six years later will be followed by the 17th and last one, Copperfield: Tornado of Fire (2001). The special is introduced by a voice offstage who talks about Barclay House, the set of the penultimate illusion of the special. The illusion in question is composed by four phases and the first of them consists in turn of four parts. All the phases regard the presence and manifestation of ghosts and spirits remained in the upper room which somehow escaped the destruction of a house that burned down because of a lightning during a storm. The room has a pentagonal shape and has been rebuilt on the stage, on which David Copperfield brings two boys and a girl from the audience. Then he asks the boys to tie his hands, back and neck, and then the ankles to the legs of a chair inserted into the room. This condition serves to prevent Copperfield from moving himself into the room itself and manipulating objects within it. Meantime an assistant put into the room a jacket and a box containing various objects including newspapers and a bell. The four parts of the first phase consist in the interaction of the ghosts and spirits with the objects placed in the room. In the second phase Copperfield asks the three spectators to enter the room and to blindfold themselves. At this point the two frontal walls of the room close themselves to hide the interior and then spark everywhere. At last, all five walls open themselves to show that the three spectators have disappeared from the stage. After a few seconds the room turns to ash because of several consecutive explosions from its interior. In the third phase five sheets that come from the stage begin to float in the theater going into the most different routes over the heads of the audience, until the lights go out, leaving everything in complete darkness for a few seconds. In the four and last phase, there is the reappearance on the stage of the three spectators: a table and a scaffolding are placed on the stage, on the scaffolding four sheets have been hung to hide the four sides of the space above the table, and when three shadows appear on the front sheet, the latter is dropped to show the three spectators standing on the table, still blindfolded. So the illusions performed are: "The Fan", "Vanishing Egg", "Floating Table", "The Blade", "Grandpa's Four Aces", "Touch The Magic - The Clock" (aka "Interactive Clock Illusion", the 4th and last of the interactive games performed beginning with the 13th special), "Barclay House" and then "Snow". At the end of this last illusion all the snow produced by the Copperfield's hands spreads in all the hall of the theater.
- This is the 15th CBS Copperfield TV special, introduced from Caesars Palace by David Copperfield himself, who describes an escapology number which would be performed in this location as the last feat of the special and is inspired by an illusionist of the past, Harry Houdini. Two assistants put a strait jacket on Copperfield and then wire his feet on some ropes fixed to a round platform which in turn is fixed to three ropes which will raise all in air, so Copperfield will come to be upside down, dangling in the air at 10 stories (or 33 meters, or 108 feet) on the stage. At this point the assistants set fire to the platform and to the three ropes. In addition, on the stage they place exactly under Copperfield two rectangular frames which support vertically dozens of steel and sharp spears, and then they also set fire to them. Copperfield has about two minutes to free himself and to grab a lifeline before the fire breaks the three ropes and drops him on the spears. So, the illusions performed are: "Flying Entrance", "Cocoon" (aka "Passion's Prison"), "Air Coppers" (aka "Ring Flight"), "Blueprint For Mystery", "$500,000 Challenge" (aka "Torn And Restored Baseball Card"), "After Hours" (aka "Vertical Asrah"), "Shot Through The Heart", "Touch The Magic - A Miracle In Your Home" (the third and penultimate of the interactive games performed in four specials) and then "Amazon Ritual" (aka "Burning Rope Escape" and "Fires Of Passion"). The "$500,000 Challenge" illusion is the first and only one that Copperfield has performed, with his host Wayne Gretzky, in a pre-recorded video set in his own Magic Warehouse and that he showed to the spectators in the theater via a monitor. Instead "Amazon Ritual" is an escape filmed at Caesars Palace and is one of the few escapes no more repeated.
