"Heroes Reborn" gave its fans a treat over the weekend at Times Square, New York. The event itself made people very curious, but what made it even more interesting was it got a surprise visit from a legendary illusionist. 

David Copperfield, the world's famous magician, was in the house. Here's the proof from the "Heroes Reborn's" official Twitter account.


NBC's event was held in the middle of pedestrian plaza, between Broadway 46th and 47th street in midtown Manhattan. As per the report of NBC New York, it was scheduled on Sept. 12 at 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. on and Sept. 13 at 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.


The "Heroes Reborn" event gave the fans the chance to experience how it feels like to have powers through four dimensional interactive technology. According to a blog posted on Geeks of Doom, the participant will be placed first, on a mark, by a photographer.

He will be requested to hold out his hand, as if he was holding a fire — so yes, a little acting needed here. The finished product, which was a captioned snap, will be emailed to the participant, and at the same time, it will be uploaded on one of the giant billboards.

The fan's EVO abilities were assessed, and was then guided to a room for a series of tests, evaluating the fan's pyrokinesis. Afterwards, what was described as a Hero Truther takes over the feed, and warns you to escape the danger.

Well, that was it for the 4-D interactive experience the earlier report was referring to — a multisensory experience of kinetic effects and interactive visuals.

Fans will only need to wait for a couple of days until the "Heroes" reboot debuts.

Original "Heroes" cast Jack Coleman will be reprising his role as Noah Bennet, and he will be joined by Zachary Levi, Robbie Kay, Kiki Sukezane, Ryan Guzman, Danika Yarosh, Judi Shekoni, Rya Kihlstedt and Gatlin Green.

"Heroes Reborn" will have its two-hour premiere on Sept. 24.
