For two 15-year-old girls in the early 1990s, meeting David Copperfield, the world-famous magician, seemed like the thrill of a lifetime.
Carla* says she remembers the way Copperfield gave her his phone number after a 1991 show in Georgia. About two years later in San Francisco, Lily* says, she felt giddy when the master illusionist picked her to join him on stage for a magic trick.
Both girls were in high school at the time and had attended Copperfield’s shows with their parents.
