I was surprised to see a mention of my performance on Tuesday night in The Daily Beast website today. Didn’t realize that media folks would be tagging along.

Here is an excerpt:
On Tuesday night, just a couple of days before executives from Comcast and NBC Universal were to testify before Congress on their pending merger, the top brass from both companies got together in New York for an “Integration Kick-Off Dinner.” And there was magic! Or at least, there was a magician to provide the after-dinner entertainment. On the upper level of the Maloney & Porcelli restaurant in midtown, NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts pulled cards out of a deck. The entertainment, arranged by Zucker, was probably meant as an allusion to the magic that is supposed to happen when these entities consummate their marriage.
