Yoda visited my show last night.

Andy Nyman, my old friend and a truly wonderful man, brought him along. Of course, Yoda came in the form of his inventor, Frank Oz. He’s also the man behind the Muppets: Cookie Monster, Grover, Fozzie Bear, Bert, and Miss Piggy. After the show, we had drinks together at the Bull & Bear. What a thrill. During our conversation, he grunted in Cookie Monster’s voice for me, but I didn’t ask him to speak like Yoda. It just didn’t feel like the right thing to do.

“Chamber Magic contains some of the most elegant, skillful and truly baffling magic on the planet. Steve Cohen is an absolute master of his craft; he and the show are simply extraordinary.” – Andy Nyman

Me with Andy Nyman, photo by Frank Oz

Frank Oz snapped this photo of Andy and me, but I unfortunately didn’t get a photo with Frank himself.

He had some nice things to say, though, after the show:

“Everything I thought I understood about the laws of science were overturned during your show. Together with the rest of the audience, I was wrapped up in your world where it felt that anything you proposed would be possible.” – Frank Oz

A great night, with great company after the show. Thanks to Andy Nyman for a memorable evening.
