David Copperfield did ‘magic tricks’ during a dinner at one of the houses of Jeffrey Epstein
Famed magician David Copperfield had dinner with an alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein at one of the late pedophile’s homes and asked her if she knew girls were being paid to recruit other girls, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.
Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg testified that she had met Copperfield, 67, when directly asked by attorney Sigrid McCawley in a May 2016 deposition — in which several redacted names were made public.
“Someone called me from the house and said that he would be there, and if I wanted to come have dinner, then I could meet him,” Sjoberg said.
“So when I arrived at the house, he wasn’t there yet, but I waited with, I believe, Sarah Kellen, and there was another girl there which I had never met and never seen. She seemed young to me.”
Sjoberg asked the girl what school she went to, to see if it was one of the area colleges, but did not recognize the name and said it was possible it was a high school.
“And so I thought she could be younger than college age, but I had to assume for my own sanity that she was a daughter of one of his friends,” she said.
Sjoberg said Copperfield “did some magic tricks” at the dinner.
“Did you observe David Copperfield to be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein’s?” McCawley asked, to which the alleged victim said yes.
“Did Copperfield ever discuss Jeffrey’s involvement with young girls with you?” the lawyer then asked.
“He questioned me if I was aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls,” Sjoberg said.
She said he did not elaborate further including on the ages of the girls.
The Post has attempted to reach Copperfield by phone.
Other notable names that appear in the court document trove include former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump as well as disgraced Prince Andrew.
