Thursday was my first full show since the surgery. It was strenuous but I didn't bungle any tricks. Last night was I was relaxed and happy and did everything right again. Tonight is the 30th anniversary of our first run in Vegas. I'm celebrating by doing a show.

Hello, all you kind friends and fans, concerned about my quadruple bypass surgery. I am now lucid enough to give you the latest updates. I'm at a great rehab hospital, walking around, up stairs, taking showers and getting into car seats. Feeling better every day.

Hi, friends, and happy Thanksgiving. I’m using my steep driveway to build cardio stamina. Even coming to the crest of the hill, my pulse rate doesn’t break out of the 90s. It’s amazing how much I’m beginning to feel like myself again.

Feeling massively better thanks to time, great nursing, and magic. I brought an old magic book with me. One trick required two decks of cards. Moxie Jillette brought the cards. We struggled and failed until we could finally both do the trick. Now I do it for every doctor.
