Nothing In My Pockets

OK, I don't usually post twice in one day. However, the previous post (below) is an out-of-character somber one, and this was just too good to pass up. Three thieves ran up to a guy, pulled a gun, and demanded that he give them everything in his pockets. The victim fooled them into thinking there was nothing in his pockets. It's an easy trick... especially if you happen to be David Copperfield.

From the CNN article:

One of three teenagers charged with attempting to rob illusionist David Copperfield as he left a performance has pleaded guilty.

[skip forward a bit...]

Copperfield, 50, and two female assistants were walking from the Kravis Center to their tour bus when they were approached by the teens April 23. 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.

"He said in depositions that he had things on him, but it wasn't difficult to make it seem like there was nothing there," prosecutor Sherri Collins said.

The thought of a couple of morons trying to rob David Copperfield amuses me greatly.
