Copperfield was walking with Cathy Daly and Mia Volmut to their tour bus after his show at a performing arts centre in West Palm Beach when four teenagers pulled up in a car behind them.
According to police, two of the youths jumped from the car and ordered the group at gunpoint to hand over their valuables. Ms Daly produced $400 (£220) from her pocket, while Ms Volmut gave them her handbag containing $100, €200 (£140), her passport, plane tickets and a mobile phone.
But when his turn came, the 49-year-old illusionist produced some tradecraft of his own. He turned out his pockets, apparently empty - but in fact containing his wallet, passport and mobile phone. "Call it reverse pickpocketing," he told the Palm Beach Post.
