Pain Is A Beautiful Thing.

I Like To Say Magic Is The World's Second Oldest Profession, A Mystical And Often Awe-inspiring Spectacle That, Throughout The Ages, Has Blended Superstition, Trickery And Religion.

I Wasn't A Smart Kid And I Still Don't Think I'm Too Smart When It Comes To Book Smart, But I Was Very Good With What I Knew And With My Craft And I Think That Was My Calling In Life. But Even Today I Never Went To College.

Indeed, Most Magicians Catch The Bug As Kids. My First Audience Was My Family In Long Island. My First 'assistant' Was My Mother, Whom I Levitated On A Broom In Our Living Room.

If We All Looked Out For Each Other A Little Bit More, I Think We Wouldn't Have A Lot Of The Crisis That We Have In Today's Society.

And You Know, I'm So Used To Going 100 Miles An Hour In Every Direction And Sleeping You Know, Two, Three Hours A Night, And That's The Way I Live.
