An Atlanta woman went on camera with TMZ TV and said David Copperfield made a move on her during his Vegas show, just days before the FBI raided his Vegas warehouse and seized digital camera equipment and a computer hard drive.
The woman -- Amanda from Atlanta -- says Copperfield's people singled her out before the show and "marked" her for David to invite her onstage during the performance. Afterward, Amanda, who was wearing an extremely short dress, says David wanted to meet her backstage, where she was escorted by one of his assistants.
As TMZ first reported, sources say Copperfield has used his show to "pick up women," targeting them in the audience, bringing them backstage after the show, taking their pictures with a digital camera, and then interviewing them on the things they liked. In particular, we're told the women were asked if they liked the Bahamas -- Copperfield owns a series of islands there.
The investigation was triggered by a Seattle woman who claims Copperfield sexually assaulted her in the Bahamas. Copperfield denies any wrongdoing.
Other women have written on the TMZ message board, recounting experiences where Copperfield allegedly hit on them during his shows.
To hear Amanda's story and the tales of other women, watch TMZ tonight. Check your local listings.
31. Why should she wear a dress, at all? When one goes for it, by all means, go! Probably she was not invited beyond certain point and she got upset! What kind of 'advances' one should expect with such dress code? Invitation to a monastery, to a chapel?

33. Everyone is talking about this woman and other women in judgement, what about David? What's it say about him that he chases after low class trailer trash? Seems to me anyone with half a brain in his position should have enough sense than to mess with the trash....
Sounds to me like he's just as stupid as these girls.
39. This happened to my best friend and I!!! We were in vegas in June and David invited us both onstage and then asked us to stay afterwards! He took our pictures, asked us to fill out a questionaire with all our favorite things on it, then gave us a brochure for his Bahama's islands!! THEN his assistants called us for the next month...at least 3 times a day... inviting us to the Bahamas! Better yet, once we never called back David Copperfied himself called me and gave me not only his work # but his cell # too!! Ewww hes a creep...he knew we were only 19!!
43. Hey, didn't I see her on Girls Gone Wild? C'mon...she loved the attention then and she loves that TMZ is reporting her sob story now. Once a ho, always a ho!!
