David Copperfield just got creepier
November 6, 2007 by Wendy Boswell
David Copperfield is not catching any breaks lately, folks. First the whole rape thing, now a document has leaked that shows how old Dave picked up women after the show:
The document, titled “Show Participation,” requires the people who work David’s shows to arm themselves with clipboards, a Polaroid camera, a digital camera, brochures of David’s islands in the Bahamas and “Blank photo(s) of David (if one of the girls is a scorpion).” “Scorpion” refers to women David brings onstage as part of his act.
The document describes how the assistants need to be heads-up for attractive women whom David can meet backstage after the performance. We’re told the plan is to keep boyfriends and husband in the arena, adding “from time to time, boyfriends and husbands will give us a hard time and refuse to stay. If that is the case, try your best to get them to stay and refer to the “What to Say” sheet for help.”
And it gets creepier.
According to the document, “On occasion David will have you pull in both scorpions even if he is only interested in one of them, just for comfort.”
But wait — it gets worse. The assistants are told to sell the women before David arrives backstage. They’re supposed to say: “Do you know that David has recently bought some islands in the Bahamas? Well they are BEAUTIFUL and we are doing a lot of project (sic) for these islands: Ads, TV, Radio and many other promotions. So we like (sic) to keep in touch with you in case there is a job in the future we think you would be interested in.”
According to the document, the women are then supposed to fill out a questionnaire — “Where are you from… What hotel are you staying in. How long are you in town. Who did you come to the show with? Husband? Boyfriend? Friend?”
And then there’s the threatening letter David’s lawyer sent to David’s employees — after the investigation was revealed — telling them they had a duty never to talk about what David was really doing at his show. The plot thickens.
What do you think? Is he as creepy as this is making him out to be?
Seems to me if you’re answering questions that ask how long you’re going to be in town and what hotel you’re staying at and would you be willing to go to old dave’s private isle, you kinda know the score a little and haven’t done crap like that before? hmmmm!
WHAT A STUPID PICTURE!

Very creepy o_O
Second post for me here!
Dave may be creepy but those broads knew just what they were getting into signing forms with their hotel and how long their visit. Please!
They’ve all been around the block I’ll bet.
I know people who know David, and they say he is in fact verrry creepy. Too bad, I loved him when I was a kid.
I have a very attractive female friend that fell under Copperfield’s methods about 10 years ago. They ended up having sex a few times and I guess that was all there was to it. She was asked to meet backstage just as described while she was with her dad and then led to his hotel suite afterwards. I can’t really sympathize with her on this point as she was 23 at the time and knew very well what this implies. All the information that I can get out of her in regards to him is that he has “issues and is very weird” I imagine there are thousands of women out there that have slept with David but most are embarrassed to admit it now. My friend used to even sort of brag about it. Not anymore though.
