One day I was showing [a child cancer patient] a magic trick, the "cut and restore" rope trick, and her doctor walked into the room. She started shouting at the doctor, "Get out of here! I'm learning magic!" The Doctor just looked at me and then he looked at her and said, "I'll be back." I saw the doctor later in the hall and I started to apologize, but he stopped me and said, "No, No, you are exactly what she needs.[4]
In the 90s, he was part of the BoZoArtZ musical group, and was the northwest regional vice president of Clowns of America International .[13] [9] Portland, Oregon .[10]
