(Non) Disappearing Act

I don't understand all the hubbub about how magician and illusionist David Copperfield tricked some teenaged robbers into thinking he didn't have anything worth stealing.

I mean, if the guy's as good as he claims to be, this should have played out much differently:

"Huh?! Where'd he go?!"

"Don't know, man...one second he was right here, and the next...nothing!"

"Yeah...and where'd the baby squirrel come from, dude?"

"This is freakin' me out, man...I'm outta here."

Your teaser read:
Come see me when you really learn to make yourself disappear.

That reminds me of: I've been an amnesiac for as long as I can remember.

Although, shouldn't mine have actually read:

"I don't want to see you until you really learn to make yourself disappear."

Baby squirrels! So that's where they come from. ;-)
