David Copperfield, the illusionist, has been found negligent but not financially responsible for a British tourist's injuries during a signature vanishing act that used participants from the audience of a Las Vegas show
Gavin Cox and his wife, Minh-Hahn Cox, alleged negligence by the multimillionaire magician, the MGM Grand hotel, two Copperfield business entities and a construction firm that was renovating the hotel in 2013
In a complex verdict reached after several weeks of testimony but only about two hours of deliberation, the state civil court jury found negligence by Mr Copperfield, the hotel and Mr Copperfield's company, Backstage Disappearing Inc
But jurors found no liability for each of those named in the lawsuit and instead found Mr Cox 100 per cent responsible for his own injuries
The verdict means the Coxes cannot seek monetary damages, court spokeswoman Mary Ann Price said
Mr Cox testified that he suffered brain and other injuries in a fall while stagehands urged him and others to run during an illusion that appeared to make as many as 13 audience volunteers disappear on stage and reappear moments later, waving torches in the back of the theatre

Four years ago, attorneys estimated that Mr Cox had that racked up more than £300,000 in medical costs
Mr Copperfield's lawyers lost a bid to close the courtroom to the public to prevent disclosure of secrets about the illusion
At least 55,000 audience volunteers had taken part in the trick over 17 years, according to Mr Copperfield and show executive producer Chris Kenner
I was having a good time up until the time I was injuredGavin Cox Jurors learned that in about 60 to 90 seconds, stagehands with flashlights ushered the randomly chosen participants past dark curtains, down passageways, around corners, outdoors, indoors and through an MGM Grand resort kitchen to re-enter the theatre for the show's finale
"I was having a good time up until the time I was injured," Mr Cox testified. He recalled stagehands shouting "Run! Run! Run!" through an outdoor alleyway that his lawyers say was coated with construction dust
Mr Cox, 57, a former chef from Kent, said he fell hard on his right side and did not remember getting up to finish the illusion in November 2013
Afterwards, Mr Cox said he received medical treatment from paramedics and at a hospital for shoulder and other injuries
Two day later, he and his wife and a lawyer returned to the theatre at the MGM Grand and filed an accident report
Mr Copperfield testified that until Mr Cox sued in August 2014, he never knew of anyone getting hurt during nearly 20 years performing the illusion on tour and in Las Vegas
He said he stopped performing it in 2015. The magician said he did not see construction dust on the ground when he passed through the same outdoor alley alone as part of another illusion about 10 minutes earlier
Mr Cox's lawyers brought in three women who testified that they also were injured during the illusion over the years, including a Michigan schoolteacher who said she fell but finished with a bloody knee during a Copperfield performance about five months before Mr Cox's fall
