"I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

I was headed home with my friend Jonathan after watching Jesus Christ Superstar off Broadway (I’d rate it 6.5/10: Good). We hop on the E train headed back to Queens when lo and behold, a street performer comes along sure to be soliciting money. Big surprise, right?
Now this guy’s gag was apparently doing magic tricks. I saw this guy and figured “What else is new?” I mean, you live in New York City long enough, nothing surprises you anymore. I basically blew it off at first because I figured the man was just performing for money. The man didn’t even look that presentable. He was somewhat unkept and his clothes had that used, beaten-up look. Yup, he fits the street performer bill all right.
