This is all true. David Copperfield and a couple of his lovely assistants were mugged at gun point while in West Palm Beach, Florida. The assailants - whose number included 18-year-old Dwayne Riley, known on the streets as The Kentuckian - were quickly apprehended by local police. Both of the lovely assistants had some money and possessions taken in the robbery, but when the crooks demanded Mr. Copperfield empty his pockets, he apparently performed some sleight of hand and managed to convince them he was carrying nothing of value.
Whoa! So our gun toting ruffians are once again rocking the life of crime under rubrics like, "The Kentuckian"! This is the coolest development in popular culture since the ladies discovered low rise jeans. I had feared that bad-ass nicknames had gone out with the Western . But we have at least one Kentuckian, and hopefully he and his friends have enough firepower to scour the prefix "Lil" from our collective consciousness. So, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne, Lil Romeo, Lil Kim, Lil Flip better watch out - the Kentuckian is coming for you.
Oh yeah, and speaking of bad-ass, so Copperfield has a gun in his face and he's doing magic tricks!? One wonders about the effect of fame on life expectancy.
