Indonesian promoter says he will hold Copperfield`s stage props

"I will keep his equipment until he covers my financial losses," an angry Peter Basuki, owner of Buena Productions, was quoted by DPA as saying. "He started it."

Copperfield cancelled shows across south-east Asia after agents from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) last week raided his Las Vegas warehouse and a casino theatre after an unnamed woman accused him of raping her in the Bahamas last summer.
