Magician David Blaine should try his sleight-of-hand at making a certain piece of legal paperwork in Minneapolis disappear.
"David Blaine has been using my godly powers to perform his magic. This is a labor dispute in accordance with Minn Statute 179.06 for past/future commission compensation," states a one-page lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by Christopher Roller.
Is Roller for real about this? The Burnsville man did not immediately want to answer my question about whether he was a magician, too. "Give me a second here. How'd you find out so quick?" he asked. While he collects his thoughts, we'll go back to the lawsuit.
"
http://mytrumanshow.com explains my life and journey to godliness. I believe Dave Blaine has been using my godly powers to perform his magic. We've all seen clips of UFO videos. They dance around the sky at the speed of thought. So we know that godly powers can co-exist on Earth. I believe magicians have also been granted godly powers by me somehow, but they have been keeping it a secret and keep the credits from me."
"I want back-pay compensation -- 10 percent past/future career earnings. Estimating 10 percent of past career earnings of over $2,000,000," the lawsuit states.
When he collected himself, Roller said he actually paid "like $250" to file this document.
What about the gossip that a similar lawsuit had been filed against magician David Copperfield? "Yeah, he was trying to talk me out of it."
David Copperfield called you? "Yes," Roller said.
Are these suits an attempt to get celebrity magicians to call Roller?
More laughter but no reply.
Are you a magician?
"I am the guy responsible for his
powers," Roller answered.
