The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled...

David Copperfield. For those who don't have their fingers on the pulse of current events, here's a brief rundown of the situation:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - FBI agents have raided a Las Vegas warehouse owned by magician David Copperfield -- for reasons they did not disclose -- and media reports said that they seized nearly $2 million and computer equipment.

...

Media reports said FBI agents seized nearly $2 million in cash from the building, along with a computer hard drive and a memory chip from a digital camera system during Wednesday's late-night operation.

...

"We understand there is an investigation, are in touch with the investigators, and are respecting the confidentiality of the investigation," Copperfield's attorney David Chesnoff said in a statement cited by Las Vegas broadcasters.

I know this is going to sound cynical, but any time you see siezures of computer hard drives and memory chips from digital cameras, there's usually only one conclusion.

For his sake, I hope he knows how to make pictures of child pornography dissappear from his computer.

This from the guy who managed to pull Claudia Schiffer in her hey day.

This is the kind of thing I would have expected from Doug Henning. He always seemed a bit creepy. But David Copperfield? The guy did a cameo on Scrubs, for chrissakes.

I think you're right on this: This does smell like a child porn case. Some people are scared of clowns; I've always been a little creeped out by magicians. It's a strange career choice to make.

The latest info I've heard is that this is stemming to a rape charge that took place in Bermuda in July. Again...this guy pulled Claudia Schiffer. What's he doint raping people?

Obligatory Magic-Related Joke:
