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.
