Hahaha!! This is too funny....
Magician David Copperfield and two female assistants were robbed at gunpoint Sunday night after a performance in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Daly and Volmut gave the robbers a purse containing 200 euros, $100, a passport, plane tickets and a cell phone, plus $400 in pocket money, according to a police report. But Copperfield, his statement says, 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.

"Call it reverse pickpocketing," Copperfield later told the Palm Beach Post.

    Yeah, that's why the police arrested 4 teenage punks for the crime.

    I saw it with my own eyes last week.

    I was standing out front as he drove by and, right before my very eyes, he turned into a driveway !

    I'm not kidding, it happened !!
