More info revealing the magician's tricks from Celebrity Cowboy:

David Copperfield goes to great lengths to pick up girls after his show. So great that he actually has paperwork detailing the instructions. Basically, assistants armed with digital cameras, clipboards and other paraphernalia are instructed to be on the lookout for attractive women. Women and their guests are invited backstage, but the paperwork does offer instructions as to what to do with husbands and boyfriends.

It’s almost like those time share people that annoy you at malls and other places. The assistants have you the women fill out questionnaires with questions like “who did you come to Las Vegas with, husband? Boyfriend? Father? They then talk up David’s property in the Bahamas. ”

TMZ who obtained the document also obtained this letter threatening employees if they break their confidentiality agreements. Oh David, don’t you know nothing is confidential in the Internet age.

A magician never reveals his secrets. In Copperfield's case, it's probably just as well. A crowd of angry husbands is not the best crowd for an entertainer.

A Seattle woman has accused magician and illusionist David Copperfield of raping her in the Bahamas,

Fox News reported Friday.

However, Copperfield's Las Vegas attorney, David Chesnoff, told the network possible sexual abuse claims against the famed magician are false. "If, in fact, those are the allegations, unfortunately false allegations are all too often made against famous individuals," Chesnoff said. "But we are confident the investigation will conclude favorably. We are in touch with the investigators and are respecting the confidentiality of the investigation."

Okay, add a rape into the mix and there is a TV movie to be made of all this.
