I can give you half the answer, b/c I haven't completely figured it out. There is no such thing as magic, only illusions and David Copperfield is excellent at performing them. First, dissappearing fromt he platform, David and the assitant he picked hooked some type of harness to themselves while the curtains were draped over them, then as the fireworks and lights go off you see the curtain being pulled away at high speed. Somehow David and the young man he was with were pulled away either by wheels or on the slippery surface of the rig under the curtains at tremondous high speed. He probably used high strength, nearly invisible wires similar to those he uses when he "flys". The getting to Hawaii part is much harder to figure out as he used random audience members in that picture, the little boy was obviously pre-selected though. There doesn't seem to be much delay in the satellite feed from Hawaii which makes you wonder how much editing was really done or if David and the young man used a blue screen to pretend they were in Hawaii. I'm not sure on the Hawaii part, but it is a very entertaining illusion nevertheless.

The David Copperfield death saw illusion is a famous magic trick in which the magician appears to be sawed in half by a large saw while lying on a platform. The performance creates the illusion that his body is split into two sections, with his legs and upper body seemingly separated. Copperfield then miraculously reassembles himself, revealing that he is unharmed. This illusion combines elements of suspense, theatricality, and misdirection, showcasing Copperfield's skill as a magician.
David Copperfield used an array of wires attached to a woman at a harness near her hip in order to accomplish this illusion. The wires were too small to be visible to the audience, but they were attached to the ceiling and strong enough to support the weight of the woman.
