Magic Was A Thing That,

I Discovered Something Amazing, Which Has Caused A Lot Of Controversy - The Fountain Of Youth. I Have To Keep It A Secret!

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.

I'm Just Waiting For People To Start Asking Me To Make The Rain Disappear.

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.

My Father Kind Of Encouraged Me Through That. Exactly,[work] Not As An Actor, Obviously, But As Someone In Show Business That Had Some Success. He Told Me To Live The Impossible. "live The Impossible!"
