David Copperfield Mugged!
After performing at the Raymond F. Kravis Center in West Palm Beach Florida on Sunday April 23rd, David Copperfield and two of his female assistants Cathy Daly & Mia Volmut we robbed at gunpoint.
At 11:15 PM the group had just finished dinner and were walking back to their tour bus.
Copperfield had been signing autographs and assumed he would be asked for another when a black Malibu with Kentucky plates pulled up along side them and two of the four young men got out of the car with handguns.
One gunman ordered Daly "give me what you have." She gave him $400.00 in cash. The other stuck his gun in Ms. Volmut's face and took her purse, containing $100.00, 200 Euros, her passport, plane tickets and a cell phone.
Now with the gun pointed inches from Copperfield, he used his skills as a magician to do "a reverse pick pocket" and turn his pockets inside out, keeping his wallet, cell phone and passport.
The gunmen jumped in the car and took off.
Daly called 911 while Copperfield read the license plate.
Police pulled over the suspects on 45th & Broadway at 11:25 PM.
The robbers were identified and the stolen property returned.
Charge with armed robbery and held without bail are 18 year old Dwayne Reily & three un-named youths each 17 years old from Palm Beach Shores.
Police told Copperfield that these suspects fit the description of other armed robberies that took place that week.
After all that excitement, Copperfield says he looks forward to going back to Palm Beach.
