But Vegas Is Really My First Home.

There Was A Place In New York Called Tannen's Magic. It Still Exists. But Back In The Day, It Was Really Fantastic. You'd Go Into The Old Wurlitzer Building, Take The Elevator To The 13th Floor, Which Was Labeled 14, Because Of Bad Luck, The Elevator Would Open, And You'd Be In Heaven. It Was All Of These Guys Doing Magic Stuff With Props. It's Kind Of Gone Now, That Experience, The Brick-and-mortar Magic Shop, But You Really Felt Like You'd Landed In The Most Amazing Place In The World.

Later On, Towards The End Of Their Lives, I Thanked Her. I Said, "mom, You Were Really Tough." She Said, "i Wasn't Tough! I Always Believed In You."

For One Of My Specials, I Said, "i'm Going To Make An Airplane Disappear." Okay! And The Next Day, Everything Went Crazy - It Was Like Breaking The Internet Before The Internet.

It Is The Unspoken Ethic Of All Magicians To Not Reveal The Secrets.

Magic Was A Thing That, When I Did It, It Made All The Kids Go, "ah, That's Cool."
