This is the 7th CBS Copperfield TV special, introduced by the host Angie Dickinson. It is officially titled "The Magic Of David Copperfield VII" but is better known as "The Magic of David Copperfield VII: Familiares". The illusions performed are: "Video To Life (Part 1)", "Webster The Mind-Reading Duck", "The Painter" (aka "Paintings To Life"), "Run Duck Run", "Psycho Shower Scene", "Let's Burn A Deal", "Father And Son" and "Video To Life (Part 2)". In both parts of "Video To Life" a video is projected onto the front of an empty box, raised from the ground, and David Copperfield is able to interact laterally with the video through an opening in the right side of the box, taking objects from it and putting other things in there. In the process various people visible through the video also come out from this opening and then return into it, but each time that the projected video is suspended and the front side is open the box is always empty. "Part 1" ends with an elephant appearing into the box, while in "Part 2" it is the host Angie Dickinson herself to appear inside the box, on a motorcycle, ready to take Copperfield offstage with herself, an action visible through the video projected on the screen as soon as the box is closed.

Sam, a struggling artist, has one opportunity to impress a dealer and his assistant. However, an unexpected visit from his brother, Phin, who suffers from frontal lobe damage, pulls all of them all into a night of constant delusions.

In celebrating Walt Disney World's 20th anniversary, we follow Michael Eisner as he treks on a hopeless search for the perfect host for the special, only to reveal to the audience (and Robin Williams) at the end that he himself was the host all along. Along the way, we visit Garth Brooks, Tim Allen, Amy Grant, Angela Lansbury, Carol Burnett, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Baby Sinclair, and a host of celebrities as they celebrate two decades at Walt Disney World.
