Only just read this on Boing Boing. Seemingly the magician, David Copperfield, was the victim of an attempted mugging earlier this year. When I say attempted, the thieves didn’t actually manage to get anything from Copperfield. You see, the people who were with him immediately handed over their valuables but Copperfield, being the magician, somehow turned out his pockets to reveal nothing despite carrying plenty of valuables. Finally an answer to crime on the streets. If any magicians out there are getting bored with the circuit, there’s new openings in non-contact self-defence. 🙂 source: Boing Boing
