Hi MJ Fam:<\/p>\n

There is a gentleman, Alki David, publicly taking credit for the illusion witnessed around the world on the Billboard Awards. The Estate wants the fans to know that Mr. David had no involvement with the project and doesn\u2019t have any actual knowledge of what was or wasn\u2019t done in the creation of the illusion. The Estate respects the magician\u2019s creed not to reveal how an illusion is done but does want to acknowledge and give proper recognition to those with whom the Estate worked closely on this project. So the Estate has posted a short video on YouTube that they wanted to share with the fan community showing a couple of the key people at Pulse Evolution, the Estate\u2019s partner in creating this illusion, along with members of the creative team, all of whom share what working on this project means to them.<\/p>\n
