Magic Came Very Easy For Me When

I Went To Visit Frank Capra, One Of My Idols, And Did A Kind Of Judd Apatow Interview With Him. I Said, "i'd Like The Statue Of Liberty To Disappear, But I Want To Do It As A Lesson In Freedom, How Valuable Freedom Is And What The World Would Be Like Without Liberty." And Frank Capra Looked At Me And Said, "david, I Love Your Idea, But Here's What You're Going To Do. You're Going To Try And It's Not Going To Work; It's Not Going To Disappear." And I Said, "mr. Capra, I Can't Do That."

You'd Go In The Magic Shop [as An 8-year-old ], And You'd Walk Up To The Magicians Doing Stuff, And They'd Turn Their Back On You. "oh My Gosh, I Wish They Would Accept Me." It Really Lit A Fire. I Really Wanted To Succeed.

Later, When I Was At Caesar's Palace, And [joe And Gil Cates] Were Trying To Get Me To Have Opening Acts For The Show, They Gave Me A List Of People, And Rosie O'donnell Was One Of Them. I Said, "i Don't Really Need Any Opening Acts. I Have Funny Stuff In The Show, And I Do A Lot Of Comedy And Stuff."

Stop Saying 'i Wish' And Start Saying 'i Will'.

Normally, I Do Magic On The Stage. But I Can Make Magic Credible And Resonate Through A Tv Screen.
