Man Claims Copperfield Stole His 'Godly Powers'
March 1, 2005
As David Copperfield prepares to launch his month-long gig at The MGM Grand
in Las Vegas, the master of illusion is facing a $50 million lawsuit just
filed in Minnesota. In the suit, a man named Christopher Roller claims
Copperfield has been using Roller's godly powers without his permission to
perform his magic onstage.
The suit directs readers to Roller's Web site for an explanation of his life
and journey to godliness. On the site, Roller claims to have been the
inspiration for the Jim Carrey film, "The Truman Show." The site also
features several pictures of Roller under a banner that reads: "You are
looking at the face of God. Don't confuse this with the face of cod, like
the fish."
On the site, Roller makes outrageous claims about celebrities like Jim
Carrey, whose chipped tooth he claims he once fixed, and Tom Hanks, who he
claims is set to star in a film about his life. He also claims Bill Gates
will be his running mate in the 2008 presidential election. And that's not
all -- Roller also makes bizarre claims about Celine Dion and Conan O'Brien
The suit says if Copperfield is not stealing his godly powers, than Roller
wants proof, demanding Copperfield's tricks be performed and explained in
the courtroom. He added that he will leave Copperfield alone if he is wrong.
Roller claims he has politely asked David via e-mail to explain his tricks
and has received no response, leaving him no choice but to sue. He's asking
for the $50 million plus 10 percent of any future earnings.
Roller also claims his life is shaping up to be the most important project
mankind will ever witness. He has opted to represent himself in the lawsuit.
As for Copperfield, his camp told us they have no comment.

<Snip>
He shows up on T.O now and again.
He clearly needs help but in California anyway as long as he is not a danger
to himself or others and can take care of himself he is free to be insane.
It's tough to be able to commit under the code section (H&S 5150) and be to
honest and moral to not do it.
In some cases it's just waiting long enough. Then they do or say something
that justifies it, you commit, they get back on their meds and are OK until
they decide they are better and go off the pills.
Sometimes they are just bonkers but no harm to anyone and you can't do
anything.

Heh. But does the justice system have to take him seriously? Or do you
have a system where a judge or panel can throw out frivulous lawsuits
without spending the courts and juries valuable time on taking them to

Not only can they throw out the suit, they can, if they feel it's
warranted, bring criminal charges against the plaintiff.

Charges aren't usually filed unless the person in question has a
history of filing frivolous suits, and even then not until they've
been warned to cease and desist.

at the hip like clergy and altar boys.

I was working in the lab, late one night

Man Claims Copperfield Stole His 'Godly Powers'
March 1, 2005
As David Copperfield prepares to launch his month-long gig at The MGM Grand
in Las Vegas, the master of illusion is facing a $50 million lawsuit just
filed in Minnesota. In the suit, a man named Christopher Roller claims
Copperfield has been using Roller's godly powers without his permission to
perform his magic onstage.
The suit directs readers to Roller's Web site for an explanation of his life
and journey to godliness. On the site, Roller claims to have been the
inspiration for the Jim Carrey film, "The Truman Show." The site also
features several pictures of Roller under a banner that reads: "You are
looking at the face of God. Don't confuse this with the face of cod, like
the fish."
Next, Herc sues Roller for stealing his delusion.

Herc's gonna have to sue him!
By the way, I found the loon's site:

(Actually, he has several but they're linked to each other)
He's in MN so it's not Herc. Sounds a *lot like him though...

features several pictures of Roller under a banner that reads: "You are
looking at the face of God. Don't confuse this with the face of cod, like
the fish."
On the site, Roller makes outrageous claims about celebrities like Jim
Carrey, whose chipped tooth he claims he once fixed, and Tom Hanks, who he
claims is set to star in a film about his life. He also claims Bill Gates
will be his running mate in the 2008 presidential election. And that's not
all -- Roller also makes bizarre claims about Celine Dion and Conan O'Brien
The suit says if Copperfield is not stealing his godly powers, than Roller
wants proof, demanding Copperfield's tricks be performed and explained in
the courtroom. He added that he will leave Copperfield alone if he is wrong.
Roller claims he has politely asked David via e-mail to explain his tricks
and has received no response, leaving him no choice but to sue. He's asking
for the $50 million plus 10 percent of any future earnings.
Roller also claims his life is shaping up to be the most important project
mankind will ever witness. He has opted to represent himself in the lawsuit.
As for Copperfield, his camp told us they have no comment.
It's cases like this that make me inclined to opt for a "plaintiff
pays the legal fees for both sides when a lawsuit is dismissed as
frivolous" statute.

This sounds like it's more a case of needing to demonstrate that you are
not a paranoid schizophrenic before being allowed to file a lawsuit based
on your delusions.
