How did david copperfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear?

As the auditorium, the giant floor is movable and can form a certain angle with the Statue of Liberty. Because the auditorium is far away from the Statue of Liberty, a small tilt angle is enough to make the Statue of Liberty disappear.

When the floor tilts, the black cloth covering the Statue of Liberty actually rises at the same time. All the movements are controlled by the computer and operated slowly, and the audience can't detect them. When the black cloth falls, the audience can only see the empty sky on the Statue of Liberty, and the Statue of Liberty magically disappears.

Rotating the audience: secretly rotating the audience for a period of time after the curtain rises. Because the computer control is slow and the speed changes evenly, it is not easy for the audience to notice. Lighting illusion: there are two circles of lights. When you start magic, turn off the lights on the Statue of Liberty, then turn on the round lights in front, turn off the lights on the Statue of Liberty and cover them with cloth.
