I've always been a fan of magic, when I was a kid I had one of those little magic kits with the gimmicked deck of foldable playing cards, the solid rings with the micro hinge, the hankies the tricked drinking glasses.
While I still like magic, I'm not a super fan of the overly grandiose over produced mass tricks made for a distant audience that you see today.
Harry Anderson came up as a street magician, he could do up close tricks that would defy your eyes. After he left Night Court he went back on the tour and for a while ran a magic shop in New Orleans.
