Beer, wine or cocktails?
Cocktails.
What could I order that will get me laughed right out of the bar?
Anything with peach schnapps.
Who has been your favorite celebrity patron?
I had a pleasure with Jim Carey -- it sounds corny to even say that, but it's the honest to god's truth. Actually, I should say Adam McKay.
Who's that?
He wrote Anchorman -- he's a friend of mine. Can I switch it?
Sure.
The Magician, 118 Rivington Street at Essex, Lower East Side, (212) 673-7881.
