Illusionist DAVID COPPERFIELD's latest trick may be his most practical -- the celebrity foiled an attempted robbery using his powers of illusion.

Copperfield and two women were walking in West Palm Beach, FL when they were robbed at gunpoint. While the two women were forced to hand over their purse and money, Copperfield did what he does best: he performed an illusion.

When the robbers told him to empty his pockets, Copperfield, who was carrying a cellphone, wallet and passport, used his sleight of hand and pulled out his pockets to reveal nothing... the contents were gone, and the robbers were none the wiser.

As the robbers fled the scene, David took down the license plate number and aided the police department in quickly apprehending the suspects, who were also linked to five other armed robberies within the same week. David himself was amazed at the fast response time and the efficiency with which the West Palm Beach police and detectives apprehended the armed suspects.

I heard about it on Leno last night and it cracked me up. It was very cool that they were able to catch the bad guys so quickly after the event. Copperfield kept his cool in a tense situation and was able to convincing use slight-of-hand, so it's nice to know that not all of his act is smoke and mirrors on stage.

Too bad David couldn't figure out how to make the gun disappear instead of his belongings. Then, maybe he could have gotten the women's purses back.

Picture it:
Robber: I have a gun, give me all your valuables.
David: Oh, I don't think so. (gun disappears from robber's hand) Whose the tough guy now?

Access hollywood reported that the dumb brat, brit is with second child.
I don't get the fascination with having children by someone who cannot afford to support them, you know?

You know what's crazy. When I heard that she was indeed pregnant, I actually teared up! I mean, out of sadness for her children *sigh* Plus, wasnt it like, just a few weeks ago that she was spotted throwing back several alcoholic drinks at a party of some sort? That's why everyone was convinced it was just "belly flab" I am suprised the media hasnt been focusing on that little bit of hmmmm...

Amy Lee · 04-28-2006, 12:51 AM

Yeah, not so long ago she was definitely caught drinking alcohol.
