APRIL 26--Magician David Copperfield was robbed at gunpoint

Sunday night by a quartet of Florida teenagers who were nabbed minutes later by West Palm Beach cops. Copperfield, 49, and two female assistants were returning to their tour bus after a post-show dinner when a car carrying the four teens drove up behind them. According to police reports, copies of which you can find below, Dwayne Riley, 18, and a 17-year-old pal emerged from their vehicle brandishing handguns and announced the 11:15 PM stickup. The magician's assistants, Cathy Daly and Mia Violmut, turned over cash, plane tickets, a passport, and a cellphone. But while one gunman repeatedly told Copperfield (real name: David Kotkin) to "give him his belongings," the entertainer "did not hand over anything," according to a police account. The gunmen escaped in a waiting Malibu, but not before Daly jotted down the Chevy's license plate and called 911. Ten minutes later, police pulled over a car carrying Riley and three 17-year-old boys, whose names police have not released. After they were identified by Copperfield and his associates, the youths were arrested and charged with armed robbery. Riley, pictured here in a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office mug shot, and his underage cohorts are being held without bail.

Glad they caught the punks.

People in Copperfield's position should be especially wary when out and about - they are often considered rich and easy pickings - as was this instance.

Pity he didn't wave his magic wand - but he is only a master of illusion!

I'd imagine carrying when you are a celebrity is discouraged. Sounds like a lawsuit magnet and big time bad pr. But a semi famous guy like copperfield( i wouldn't know if he passed me on the street.) That doesn't have a armed bodyguard should consider it.
