I'm A Magician, Not A Singer.

I Really Did Sneak Into Broadway Shows, Starting When I Was 12.

I'm Really Happy That I Had The Foundations Of Knowing Where I Came From.

I've Always Taken A Lot Of Cues From Comedy Minds. The Guy That Discovered Me In The Very Beginning Was Joseph Cates. Joe And Gil Cates Were The Cates Brothers. Gil Produced The Oscars For Many Years. Joe Produced A Lot Of Comedy Specials, Steve Martin Specials, And He Discovered Me, This 18-year-old Kid.

The First Trick I Bought At Macy's Was A Little Wooden Board Where A Quarter Would Appear And Disappear.

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.
