Additional notes

The Baby Illusion was removed around summer–fall 2007.
The Dancing Ties Illusion was removed around summer 2012 and replaced with the E-mail From the Future Illusion.
The Lotto Prediction includes the magical appearance of Copperfield's grandfather's 1954 Lincoln Convertible. It may not be performed on some nights due to stage space or limited backstage room.
Portal was out of the show in the summer of 2007, returned in the winter of 2007, left in the spring of 2008, and hasn't been performed since. The Fan, an illusion from Copperfield's special "Unexplained Forces" in 1995, replaced Portal. Thirteen was removed around late 2014 and was replaced by a Jurassic Park scale illusion (Frank Appearance).
Thru Steel, Baby Illusion, Anthrax, Lotto Prediction/Lincoln Convertible Car Illusion, Marcus Levitation, Balloon, Words, Blu/UFO Illusion, E-mail From the Future, and Frank Appearance haven't yet been performed in Copperfield's TV specials.
