And then, I don't know if I want to go into this whole story, but I'll tell you a truncated version.

There was this guy, let's use the word differently, named Kreskin, who was this magician.

He was never on Carson.

Because he was on every other show.

But Carson would not let him on for the following reason, because he claimed to have supernatural powers and he didn't.

And Johnny was very, very strong about that.

I mean, Uri Geller was not able to do anything on the Carson show because Johnny brought in Randy.

They were friends.

And made sure that he was not able to cheat.

So Uri Geller comes out and does nothing.

Yeah, Johnny made sure of that.

But Crest was on some show, and I saw him do this thing which he called science.

He called it an experiment.

And it was in mind reading, you know, ESP.

And I watched that.

I was 12.

Took it at face value.

He's doing science.

And my dad was a jail guard.

I was not from a wealthy family.
