Looking like something out of Batman Begins, a Can-Am Spyder RT-S was parked in front of my upper west side apartment. Tell me that this doesn’t look like the Dark Knight’s wheels:

Here are some promo photos from the Can-Am website.

I own four tuxedos. Most people who meet me at a performance will see me dressed up in one.

Here’s a photo of me, in between shows at the Waldorf, wearing my plush bathrobe. I was practicing a card trick.

I’ve never released casual photos like this one before. It feels somewhat obscene. [...]

Here’s a whimsical Hermes necktie that I like. I can’t think of an occasion that I’d actually wear it, but I admire the snake-charmer print for some reason. Also in this post, I review a book, “The Rise of the Indian Rope Trick,” which examines a legendary trick from the subcontinent that has never been verified as fact. One of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock photos is [...]

About one year ago, I spotted a gentleman at my show wearing a handsome Hermes necktie. It was royal blue, and decorated with magic rabbits jumping out of top hats. During the show, I complimented the man on his tie. “Appropriate for a magic show,” I mentioned with a wink.

Once you’ve flown on a private jet, there’s no going back. I just landed in Cancun, on a Bombadier Challenger 605. And it’s all thanks to card tricks. My flight bag is loaded with six decks of Tally-Ho cards, a purseful of antique silver dollars, one red silk hanky and two false thumbs. Try explaining [...]

The famous French magician Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin started out as a clockmaker, and became a magician. I think I’m going in the opposite direction.
At Chamber Magic last weekend, a lovely couple sat in the front row, and the husband was wearing this wristwatch. I actually stopped the show for a moment so I could look [...]
