David Copperfield Held At Gunpoint, Tricks Robbers
Thursday, April 27, 2006
Reports are saying that Magician David Copperfield and two assistants were robbed at gunpoint on Sunday night, after a performance in West Palm Beach, Florida.
According to a statement issued by Copperfield's representative: "They told us to give them money and our stuff. At that point we realized that there were guns in our face." Copperfield turned his pockets inside out to show he had nothing on him - a sleight of hand by the illusionist, who later showed police he was carrying a passport, wallet and cell phone.
You gotta be kidding me. I usually think magic is only for goth kids who masturbate with dead animal blood, but Copperfield has proved me wrong. It seems like he has sent out a challenge to anyone trying to rob him. Who in their right mind would try to rob a man who makes things disappear on a daily basis, and makes millions doing it. These were probably the same people who considered robbing banks after watching Inside Man.
