David Copperfield (born David Seth Kotkin)

Is this good looking, charismatic man a dark brutal "rapist"?... I have the inclination to believe the opposite. Why?

1. Because to often our society finds great appetite and pleasure in dissecting and destroying celebrities. And it is again the media who creates the hysteria around anything they touch... They believe that they have the right to build or dismantle anything they please. And why not? When the rating is the bread and butter of their life. 

2. Looking over his long career, that started at 12 years of age, and his brilliant achievements is hard to believe that he would compromise everything for a "moment of fun"... He is much more sophisticated and smarter for that. He has made the Statue of Liberty disappear, levitated over the Grand Canyon, and walked through the Great Wall of China... and stumble over a personal weakness?... The press anticipation make everything look so sinister!

3. The warehouse in Las Vegas he has is in fact well known as the - International Museum & Library of the Conjuring Arts - also houses an apartment on the second-floor, a ‘career archive' and a private museum featuring 80,000 pieces of magic memorabilia, which are stored by a full-time curator in climate-controlled cases.

Copperfield founded Project Magic, a rehabilitation program to help disabled patients regain lost or damaged dexterity skills by using sleight-of-hand magic as a method of physical therapy. The program has been accredited by the American Occupational Therapy Association, and is in use in over 1100 hospitals throughout 30 countries worldwide...

But who is interested in that?
