I guess this forum is only place to ask: I am seeking a thread under “Comments on Cecil’s Columns/Staff Reports” re: How David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear. I have searched all content of all open forums going back 3 years. Although, I am fairly confident the thread is more recent. Yet, nothing found seems relevant. Still, I wanted to see this thread again to ask something that came to mind (or, see if anyone already asked my question). I know the Moderators will jump all over me if I don’t place my question where it rightly belongs. So, Staff…any chance you can help me find this? ---

The OP is asking for the thread about the column. Not the column itself. ---

[This more recent thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=684712) wasn’t specifically about the Statue of Liberty trick, but it did explain it in post #36. If you’re sure you saw something more recent than 3 years ago, maybe this one was it. ---

Thanks for your help. Sorry, but I never considered to Google something within the SD Boards, but I’ll keep it in mind as an alternate to the SD Search Engine.
