NEW YORK — The water in magician David Copperfield’s rooftop pool vanished – and flooded his penthouse apartment as well as other floors of his New York City apartment building on East 57th St.
Copperfield’s attorney Ted Blumberg told the New York Post that a malfunctioning pump was to blame for the March 8 incident.
He said the entire pool drained through Copperfield’s four-story apartment and others underneath it, soaking walls and floors. Copperfield was performing in Las Vegas at the time.
He said the pool would be refilled after steps are taken to make sure a similar mishap didn’t happen again.
