I Was Teaching Magic At Nyu When

I Need A Form Of Escape Even When I'm Working Really Hard.

Science And Technology Were Often Used By [the Magician Of Old], Even Before They Came Into The Marketplace On A Mass Basis. For Example, Prior To The Moving Picture Going Into Theatre, Magicians Were Using The Technique Of Images In Motion As Illusions In Their Shows. At That Time The Process Was So New, An Audience Perceived It As Magic. Also In The Early Stages Of Holograms Magicians Would Use These Images To Baffle And Mystify Their Fans. Hence, You Always Need To Stay One Step Ahead Of The Technology Game To "wow" The Audience.

My Father Wanted To Be An Actor, Dreamed About Being An Actor, But He Gave It Up Because My Mom And His Family Told Him, "you're Never Going To Make It; It's Too Tough Out There."

Never Take "no" For An Answer.

For My Father, Being Kind Was Natural... I Have To Really Work At It. I Love Competing And Winning, Conquest - Not Words You Usually Associate With Kindness.
