SEEING THROUGH the ILLUSION
In the early 1980s, magician David Copperfield performed an illusion that made the Statue of Liberty "disappear." Thousands of people witnessed the event either as part of the audience or in front of their television sets, and many were astounded to see this symbolic US landmark supposedly vanish.
I first learned about this magic trick as a child from a counselor at a Christian Science summer camp. I'd been spending the summer learning more about my inseparable, relationship with God, and was beginning to make distinctions in my own thoughts between the substantiality of good and the illusive nature of evil.
