David Copperfield: Friend Or Freak?

Supposedly, TMZ has come into possession of top secret documents, –yeah, –that outline how David Copperfield’s assistants were supposed to lure in attractive women from the audience while they were supposed to someone keep husbands and boyfriends at bay. Click the picture to view the supposed authentic document. From TMZ:

“TMZ has obtained portions of a secret document from David Copperfield’s shows, outlining in extreme detail how the magician’s assistants were supposed to rope in the women that David found attractive — and hold their boyfriends and husbands at bay. The document, titled “Show Participation,” requires the people who work David’s shows to arm themselves with clipboards, a Polaroid camera, a digital camera, brochures of David’s islands in the Bahamas and “Blank photo(s) of David (if one of the girls is a scorpion).” “Scorpion” refers to women David brings on stage as part of his act.

The document describes how the assistants need to be heads-up for attractive women whom David can meet backstage after the performance. We’re told the plan is to keep boyfriends and husband in the arena, adding “from time to time, boyfriends and husbands will give us a hard time and refuse to stay. If that is the case, try your best to get them to stay and refer to the “What to Say” sheet for help.” According to the document, “On occasion David will have you pull in both scorpions even if he is only interested in one of them, just for comfort.”

But wait — it gets worse. The assistants are told to sell the women before David arrives backstage. They’re supposed to say: “Do you know that David has recently bought some islands in the Bahamas? Well they are BEAUTIFUL and we are doing a lot of project (sic) for these islands: Ads, TV, Radio and many other promotions. So we like (sic) to keep in touch with you in case there is a job in the future we think you would be interested in.”

According to the document, the women are then supposed to fill out a questionnaire — “Where are you from… What hotel are you staying in. How long are you in town. Who did you come to the show with? Husband? Boyfriend? Friend?””

That’s fairly awkward. I’m leaving it up to you, dear readers. Is TMZ full of shit? Are they fabricating nonsense to make it look as though David Copperfield is a perverted looney? Or is he really a perverted looney? I’m leaning towards neutral on this, until I get some real opinions here.

David Copperfield’s Magical Investigation

david_copperfield.jpgCopperfield’s lawyer has confirmed that David has never been anything less that a total gentleman, however, someone out there is saying differently. Apparently, claims have been made that David Copperfield has molested them in some way, although the facts behind the accusation are still unknown. From People:

“The FBI investigation of David Copperfield involves a sexual misconduct claim against the magician, a Las Vegas newspaper reported Friday.

Citing an unnamed source, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the FBI raid of Copperfield’s warehouse on Wednesday was “connected to an investigation of possible sexual misconduct by the illusionist.”

The source said the alleged incident occurred outside the U.S. but is within the FBI’s jurisdiction because the accuser is a U.S. citizen, according to the paper.

Copperfield’s lawyer, David Chesnoff, confirmed there is an investigation, but added, “If in fact those are the allegations, unfortunately false allegations are all too often made against famous individuals. But we are confident the investigation will conclude favorably.”

A Las Vegas warehouse operated by was raided by 12 agents Wednesday night, TV station KLAS reported earlier. A computer hard drive, digital camera system, and nearly $2 million in cash were seized, the station reports.”

Aww. I hope they’re not true. It’s always kind of a shame, when people like that are accused of misdeeds, because they have been almost heroes to us, for so long.
