good indicative played road striving win
This is a good road win for us. But it was indicative of how we have played on the road - really good at times and other times not so good. We are striving to find some kind of consistency.
finish grade learn loss today
A loss is a loss. We've got to learn to go out and finish games. I'd grade my play today as a failure. If you don't win, you've failed.
hottest school three
The hottest school in the country, period. And it has been for three years.
birthday jobs growing-up
We didn't have a whole lot of money when I was growing up either. I would always ask for magic books or magic tricks for my birthday or for Christmas and the rest of the year I either had to mow lawns or find part time jobs to help supplement the cost of doing magic.
teacher growing-up couple
I always wanted to go to the Chavez school but I could never afford it when I was growing up so a lot of my learning came from magic books and watching other magicians. I was also very lucky that I had a couple of really good magic teachers.
teacher magic saws
When I started out back in Louisville, there was Harry Collins. He was my first teacher. He saw that I was so obsessed with magic that he taught me the love of magic.
philosophy thinking different
That's kind of what we have here. I think we've just grown apart, we have different philosophies, and we're going in different directions,
taken vacation years
I’ve worked nonstop for 31 years. I’ve counted down myself hundreds of cues for everything in each 90-minute show. I’ve never really taken an extended break, so I’d like to see what a vacation is really like,
ideas next clue
I have no idea what's next, I simply don't have a clue.
mistake phones waiting
I feel like I'm the luckiest person alive. I'm always waiting for that phone call: 'Hello. We've just realized you're really a no-talent hillbilly. We've made a horrible mistake and we'd like you to leave now.
years volunteer magic
Harry Collins was the first magician I ever saw back in 1965 when I was five years old. He was doing a magic show and I was the volunteer from the audience.
comfortable
I'm comfortable and confident about the future.
successful very-happy show-business
I'm very happy to be employed. I always contend that in show business that if you're employed, then you're successful.
fun opportunity years
It was a great opportunity that I had to take - my very own theater. That comes along once in a lifetime. It doesn't even seem like 15 years ago - time sure flies by. I've really had a lot of fun with it.
