How Magician David Copperfield Is Connected To Jeffrey Epstein

One of the unsealed documents related to Ghislaine Maxwell’s defamation trial includes the testimony of Johanna Sjoberg, a former employee of Jeffrey Epstein from 2001 until 2006, who has since stepped forward as one of his many victims. At the trial, Sjoberg gave an account of how she met the magician David Copperfield through Epstein. She claims that she met Copperfield at Epstein’s mansion in Palm Beach, where they had dinner together. Copperfield entertained the group by performing magic tricks, she added.

Intriguingly, according to Sjoberg, the magician also asked her a strange question regarding the young women at Epstein’s properties. Copperfield allegedly queried Sjoberg on whether she “was aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls,” suggesting that he had prior knowledge of Epstein and Maxwell’s strategy of procuring victims, per Business Insider. In total, Copperfield’s name appears six times in the unsealed court documents.
