David Copperfield used his skills to keep from being robbed. 
Hehe. I don’t like David Copperfield, but that’s funny. How stupid do you have to be to try to rob a guy who makes his living doing sleight-of-hand tricks?
That’s hilarious! (Mr. S commented, “He should have offered to give them his handkerchief . . .”)
Yeah, but in defense of those kids, I certainly wouldn’t recognize David Copperfield if I saw him.
I’m confused. The article says he refused to give his wallet up. Then it says he turned his pockets inside out to show that he didn’t have one on him. What if the kid had decided he was being jerked around and knifed him? I’m glad he got away with it, but it was dangerous.
Oh. Copperfield.
I thought that it might have been MISTY LEE, LADY MAGICIAN, who is married to writer Paul Dini.
I thought that, too.
Copperfield obviously used the wrong techniques on these guys. There should have been a banana involved somewhere.
How stupid do you have to be to rob someone and drive away in a car with the license plate number clearly visible?
Only marginally stupider than you have to be to rob people without using a briefcase and a fancy lawyer to do it.
That’s what would happen to me. I could know the best sleight of hand, and they’d be annoyed at my not having money and shoot me. 
Why didn’t he just make the robbers and their car disappear?
Then how would he get his name in the papers?
