There Was Another Guy Suggested. He Was

Later, When I Was At Caesar's Palace, And [joe And Gil Cates] Were Trying To Get Me To Have Opening Acts For The Show, They Gave Me A List Of People, And Rosie O'donnell Was One Of Them. I Said, "i Don't Really Need Any Opening Acts. I Have Funny Stuff In The Show, And I Do A Lot Of Comedy And Stuff."

I Could Vanish The Silk Better Than Ben Vereen - That Was For Sure. So I Think Maybe They Said, "okay, Maybe He Has Something To Offer." Years Pass And I Get A Bit Of A Career, And Ben Vereen Ends Up Hosting One Of My Specials Where I Walked Through The Great Wall Of China. Things Came Full Circle In Kind Of An Ironic Way, When You Have That Honor Of People That Have Influenced You So Much Host Your Show. It's A Huge Experience In Your Life.

No Self-respecting Gay Guy Would Have Ever Made Some Of The Hair And Clothing Choices I Am Still Trying To Live Down.

It Wasn't Just About Doing Tricks. It's About Taking An Audience To Another Place, A Special Place, So They Can Really Suspend Their Disbelief. Its About Amazing The Audience As Well As Moving Them.

Like In Comedy, You Know The Names Of The People Who Steal Things That Others Work Really Hard On. It Really Sucks. And, In Magic, It's Not Just The Hard Work Of Getting The Words And Attitude And Point Of View Right; You're Taking An Actual Invention, Making Something Over Three Or Four Years, And Somebody Can Just Take It.
