I Really Did Sneak Into Broadway Shows,

I Record That I Was Born (as I Have Been Informed And Believe) On A Friday, At Twelve O'clock At Night. It Was Remarked That The Clock Began To Strike, And I Began To Cry, Simultaneously.

Magicians Are The People Who Began To Use Film As An Illusion On Stage.

I Had A Point Of View, Which Was Different. I Looked At Magic As Theater, As Storytelling, And I Tried To Have An Approach That Was Different From What They Were Doing. "how Can I Move People And Really Get Them To Dream With A Card Trick, With Coin Magic, Or Even A Piece Of Stage Magic?"

I Wrote An Op-ed Piece In The New York Times About The Amazing Effect Of Shared Wonder - How I Have An Audience Filled With People Who You'd Think Would Hate Each Other, People From Every Religious Category, All At The Same Show At The Same Time. And It's An Amazing Phenomenon To Watch This Shared Sense Of Wonder, Where These People Who Really Don't Like Each Other - For Good And Bad Reasons, Reasons That Make Sense And That Don't Make Sense - Are In The Same Room, Experiencing This Unification.

A Few Years Later, When I Was Still Going To These Meetings, I Was Also "second-acting" Every Broadway Show [walking In With The Crowd After Intermission]. I Snuck In To See Grease With John Travolta In Kind Of A Secondary Part And Adrienne Barbeau Playing Rizzo, Into Pippin, Hung Out With Ben Vereen And Bob Fosse. It Was An Amazing Time For A Teenager.
