David Copperfield breaks employee's arm

David Copperfield broke his employee's arm after an illusion went wrong.

The accident occurred during 'An Intimate Evening of Grand Illusion', in Las Vegas at MGM Grand's Hollywood Theatre.  While assisting with the 'fan illusion' the assistant got his arm caught in the fan.

Not quite sure what to make of this comment from Chris Kenner, executive producer of the show, "People are always saying that it's magic and it isn't dangerous. This goes to show you that it is."

Who says magic is not dangerous?
