David Copperfield has canceled upcoming shows in Southeast Asia after an FBI search of his Las Vegas warehouse and a casino theater where he regularly performs.

"His management sent an e-mail to organizers Sunday to inform that his shows will be postponed indefinitely," Kittiyong Achawaphong of RSi Dream Entertainment said Monday. The company organized the 51-year-old magician's shows in Thailand.

Copperfield also was scheduled to perform in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore in the coming weeks.

Copperfield's lawyer David Chesnoff said the shows were canceled because tour operators in Asia defaulted on their contracts. But the promoters don't see it that way.

"We are told by Copperfield management that David's show had been canceled by the artist," said Peter Basuki, whose company was organizing the Jakarta show.
