Inside Magic

Our Fake-God Expert Consultant

He is at again.

Christopher Roller made
some news back a few months ago for suing David Copperfield for back
pay and future royalties for all magic performed. His theory? Mr.
Roller believes he is God or a god. He also believes there are no
earthly explanations for Mr. Copperfield’s illusions. Therefore, Mr.
Copperfield must be using god-like powers or is, in fact, a god.

That suit is pending and we will have links to the documents here for your perusal.

Mr. Roller has brought a second suit in his efforts to consolidate
his godly powers. This time David Blaine is the subject of the federal
complaint essentially seeking the exact same relief under the same
theory. That makes sense: one of the classic definitions of “God” is
immutability or that He does not change.

We have the latest lawsuit and will upload for your review as well.

Inside Magic, possessor of no godly powers or anything close to such
powers is conflicted about reporting on Mr. Roller and his abuse of the
federal court system apparently for his own delight. We don’t want to
give him any more press or publicity. Rather than fuel his self-centered flame of adoration, we’d prefer to remove the oxygen.

Mr. Roller’s website provides a schematic of how he differs from
mortal man’s existence. For one thing, he is not subject to the
one-way, linear progress of time. He can enter and leave time at will.
Which is a good thing for horse race predictions, stock market picks,
and to avoid troubling and — for mortals — unsightly shaving nicks or
scrapes.

Despite his omniscience, however, Mr. Roller was not able to provide
an appropriate address for Mr. Copperfield. He guessed Mr. Copperfield
must frequent the MGM Casino in Las Vegas and had the court clerk issue
a summons to be served on the magician within that property. Not
surprisingly, the summons returned unserved — Mr. Copperfield was on
the road at the time. Rather than give up, Mr. Roller had the court
clerk issue a second summons to be served on Mr. Copperfield.

Somewhere in Clark County, Nevada a crime is being committed or
conspiracy assembled but the County Sheriff’s office is denied the use
of one of its deputies so Mr. Roller can serve his frivolous lawsuit.

Mr. Roller claims on his website he received a call from Mr.
Copperfield in April. He claims to have filed the summary of that
conversation with the court but the official docket shows no such
filing. He also claims Mr. Copperfield has conceded defeat in the
lawsuit because his publicist’s statement on Celebrity Justice was “No
Comment.” There has not yet been a ruling on that motion.

As interest in Mr. Roller was waning, he sought a new target and
accordingly sued Mr. Blaine for unauthorized use of Mr. Roller’s
god-like powers.

St. Thomas Aquinas said it best in his classic Summa Theologica, and we translate from the original Latin, “Whatever!”
