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.
night different audience
It's new and different every night. The charge you get from a good audience is like nothing else.
children parent asking
That's sort of like asking a parent who their favorite child is. It's very hard to determine. Sometimes I'll get feedback from somebody who liked this part of the show. Others like another part of the show.
thinking years perfect
The dove act? I'm still working on it. I don't think it's perfect yet. I got my first pair of doves when I was 14 years old. That was the beginning of the formation of that act. So it's been 24 years now that I've been working on it.
thinking clarity regal
I am very impressed by the thinking that went into The Clarity Box. David Regal is diabolical.
lines want routine
One of the funniest lines in my show was written for me by Alan Bursky. I really want to learn this routine!
people magic knows
Perform as many times as you can in front of people you don't know.
amount increase noticeable past seen
In the past year, we've seen a noticeable increase in the amount of rail-served requirements.
congress hear member talk
If you talk to any member of Congress, they will tell you that when they go home, this is what they hear about.
honesty impact matter messing today turn
In all honesty, it's a matter of me not messing up. Today had nothing to do with me. The only impact I had on the day was to be a warm-blooded person who could turn the thing on and mash the gas.
men pains
I know what its like, ... I know what these men are going through. I know every one of them, and it pains me that Im not over there with them.
