As a kid I remember seeing him cut off his own thumb, blood and all and then waving his hand around, miraculously with the thumb still attached.
I tried that trick at home, when, after the second time, I realized he wasn’t really sawing off his own thumb. I gave up magic after that, as well as using scissors with my thumbs. At worst, I can try to figure out that trick 8 more times, but that will never be as funny as him preforming any of his terribly awesome jokes and tricks.
