Copperfield Secret Document -- How to Pick Up Chicks

TMZ has obtained portions of a secret document from David Copperfield's shows, outlining in extreme detail how the magician's assistants were supposed to rope in the women that David found attractive -- and hold their boyfriends and husbands at bay.

The document, titled "Show Participation," requires the people who work David's shows to arm themselves with clipboards, a Polaroid camera, a digital camera, brochures of David's islands in the Bahamas and "Blank photo(s) of David (if one of the girls is a scorpion)." "Scorpion" refers to women David brings onstage as part of his act.

The document describes how the assistants need to be heads-up for attractive women whom David can meet backstage after the performance. We're told the plan is to keep boyfriends and husband in the arena, adding "from time to time, boyfriends and husbands will give us a hard time and refuse to stay. If that is the case, try your best to get them to stay and refer to the "What to Say" sheet for help."

And it gets creepier.

According to the document, "On occasion David will have you pull in both scorpions even if he is only interested in one of them, just for comfort."

But wait -- it gets worse. The assistants are told to sell the women before David arrives backstage. They're supposed to say: "Do you know that David has recently bought some islands in the Bahamas? Well they are BEAUTIFUL and we are doing a lot of project (sic) for these islands: Ads, TV, Radio and many other promotions. So we like (sic) to keep in touch with you in case there is a job in the future we think you would be interested in."

According to the document, the women are then supposed to fill out a questionnaire -- "Where are you from... What hotel are you staying in. How long are you in town. Who did you come to the show with? Husband? Boyfriend? Friend?"

And then there's the threatening letter David's lawyer sent to David's employees -- after the investigation was revealed -- telling them they had a duty never to talk about what David was really doing at his show. The plot thickens.

David has been under investigation, after a woman who was in the audience claims he flew her to the Bahamas and allegedly raped her. He denies it.

64. The woman smells money!
But the price she'll pay for this easy money will be quite high.

65. He has been doing the for years!! In 1991 after a show at Ceasar's, one of his assistants invited me and my friend's little sister (16 YEARS OLD) to the 2nd show. They sent us a bottle of wine and invited us backstage to meet him after the show where he totally hit on her. It was so sick, she told him she was 16 and we left. Then he married Claudia Shiffer and I was so grossed out she married a guy who hit on a teenage stranger.

69. I use to think old Davey boy was a creepy queer. As it turns out he's not queer.

70. I wonder how often Mr. Creepy Creepitan will get laid now? I'm surprised that bra size wasn't one of the questions on his questionaire.

71. I cant believe he'd be stupid enough to put this stuff in writing !!

We know it goes on, but to put in on paper, where someone could find it, is just dumb.

72. i have my students sign contracts if they want to be in my class just in case they try to grab my ass during office hours.

73. What a convoluted way to meet women. Definitely weird. Rock stars do not meet women in this manner. A roadie will discreetly approach the woman and offer a backstage pass and the opportunity to meet the rocker after the show. No BS, and no pressure, and certainly no "Island Brochures." Something is seriously wrong with this dude.
