When I was 40, I decided to become a magician, for various reasons.
Most people get to 40 and have a midlife crisis, and that’s just boring. 
They bore their friends by going around saying, “What’s it all about? What’s the point?” 
I thought it might be at least more entertaining to go spectacularly mad and start 
worshiping a snake and declaring myself to be a magician. It’s been immense fun.
