Everyone was talking about having airplanes disappear. And I said, Wait, wait, wait. That's what you like? I'd tell you a story about something like my girlfriend leaving me, and the magic was really hard. The airplane thing was comparatively easy, and people liked that thing? I realized at that moment, the power of the simple idea.

Pippin had an opening number called Magic to Do, and Jules Fisher, the brilliant lighting designer lit it. Tony Walton did all of the sets. As a kid I thought, Wow, I'm seeing onstage what a MGM musical would look like live. It was that good, and it was directed by Bob Fosse.

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?
