Learn Magic, Trick Thieves

Read here how magician David Copperfield tricked REAL robbers in REAL time in REAL life.

If you are wondering whether or not it was just a big publicity stunt, then you should also know this : the robbers got REAL jail time.

Although DC tricked his way out, his assistants weren't so lucky. According to the report:
The assistants handed over money and a cellphone, but the illusionist turned his pockets inside out to reveal nothing, although he was carrying his passport, wallet and cell phone.
There are several morals to this story. Two of them are below.

1. Don't ever be an assistant--you will, always, without fail, get your ass handed to you on a silver plate.

2. If you are with a magician don't expect him to get you out of trouble because he would be too busy getting himself out first.

Of course, I don't need to learn tricks. I trust my good fortune.
