David Copperfield was robbed at gunpoint in West Palm Beach last week. Or, more specifically, his two female companions were robbed at gunpoint, while David “turned his pockets inside out to show that they were empty – a sleight of hand by the master illusionist, who later showed police that his pockets were filled with cell phones, a wallet and a passport.”
Fortunately, despite unchivalrously allowing his female companions to be separated from their plane tickets, a passport, a cell phone, and upwards of $500 in cash, while he himself retained all his valuables, Copperfield did eventually save the day by writing down the gunmen’s license plate number and reporting it to the police. Four teenagers were subsequently arrested for the crime, and will serve as assistants in Copperfield’s next grand illusion: the notorious “Four Thugs Chained Together In a Box with a King Cobra” bit that has yet to be performed without multiple fatalities.
Just in time for May sweeps!
