I didn't see this posted. When I read about it, the "robbers foiled by sleight of hand" angle tickled my funny bone. Three cheers for Mr. Copperfield.

Well, shucks. I searched for Copperfield. Delete this as a dupe.

Dang, ya gotta be quick on FR. :)

"very urban-like"

Possibly the least-helpful description ever.

As for robbing Copperfield...those guys are lucky he didn't just teleport them into space.

Mine, too! Better yet, I'd like to hear of a couple of "urban youth" trying this with Chuck Norris.

I'll bet over the years people watching his show have felt robbed.

Copperfield told Page Two he pulled out all of his pockets for Riley to see he had nothing

...other than a fifteen foot long multi-colored scarf. At which point he was shot.

Maybe it didn't really happen and the poster just thinks he saw it :')

Hey, my wife must be a magician, cause she does that every payday. (ducks)

My wife and I were at one of his shows that same day .... we wondered why he just didn't make the robbers disappear...as he did to others not an hour previous.

Guess he needs all those big steel structure gizmoes and scantily dressed women to pull off a trick like that though....

Think of how cool it would have been if they were suddenly to appear in a skin head rally or something.

"Urban Like" is "Afro-American" Except the stupid liberal dumbass sucky entertainer can't even bring himself to identify the perps because they aren't white.

And how "urban" could they be if they didn't just reach into his pocket and empty them like professional stick up artists?

He got robbed by amatures, now he's gloating about how he hid his money from them. If he weren't such a lib hypocrite, he'd have GIVEN his money to these "disadvantaged youth".

Florida has a 10-20-life minimum sentencing for robberies committed with a hand gun. Use a gun 10 years minimum. If you shoot someone while robbing them it's 20 years minimum. Kill someone while robbing them life. Hope the cell phone was worth it.

His best trick was getting Claudia Schiffer to marry him.

What would Doug Henning do?

Back in my college days I worked as a stage hand. I helped with the load-out of his set after one performance and got to see how his props were built. We signed a contract that we'd never divulge this information, but how are they gonna find me on the Internet? Anyway, most of his illusions are pulled off by...

Excuse me, I'm having a coughing fit....I'm going to get some water...I'll be ri

Geez... what'd he ever do to you? :-)
