":The Statue of Liberty disappearance has no place here, primarily because no other illusion is mentioned.  It seems that the author just wants to stir up something.  It is common practice (unless you want to be a jerk) to keep secrets like this to yourself.  A better way to do this is to list all of his illusions that's he's ever performed and the historical significance to them (e.g., original design, ""classic illusion"", etc.).  Although I do find it offensive that the author would intentionally try to divulge magicians' secrets, I do support the Wikipedia in it's ""free speech"" stance.  My problem is not so much with what's being put on the page, but the manner in which it is done.  Perhaps the Statue of Liberty illusion should go on its own page, not under the DC biography.
