Trivia
In this TV special there are five illusions filmed for the TV audience only since David Copperfield performed them in places where it was not possible to have a live audience: "Sunglasses Routine" on a boat in the sea, "Floating On The Beach" and "Coal To Diamond" on the shore of a beach, "Floating Match" inside an ancient round building isolated and located on a hill, and "Bermuda Triangle" on a huge triangular platform floating on the Atlantic Ocean within the Bermuda Triangle. No other Copperfield TV special includes so many illusions performed without a live audience.

Goofs
In the "Death Saw" escape/illusion, after the separation of the two parts of the body of David Copperfield the long take ends and there is a shot that shows his bust and frontally the timer that he observes. However his shirt is visibly longer, at least by 15 cm, and also stained with blood, while in the long take in which Copperfield reunites the two parts of his body, the shirt is exactly as it was until the end of the previous long take. That shot does not interfere in any way with the illusion performed in front of a live audience, but it could not have been filmed during the live show itself: it could have been added only during the post-production of the TV special.
