The sleight of hand artist Dai Vernon, wrote about Roth:

"First let me state that David Roth has an amazing ability when performing with coins. He is truly a genius. I have been fortunate to have enjoyed the confidence and friendship of the leading exponents of coin manipulation of the past. T. Nelson Downs, Allan Shaw, Manuel and Welch Miller all specialized in this branch of the magical art. To the very best of my judgment, David’s ideas and execution far surpass any one of them. I feel quite certain that if they could witness his performance they would not only be astounded but realize that they had seen the master."

He said 'Oh, we all do this. ... We all eat cereal. We sneak it. We bring it into our offices,'.

We were very fortunate that the candidate we did get was a good match. We could have been struggling for a number of years to get a candidate for this position.

We think this new town hall is really a true civic building in the broadest sense of the word. We want it to be part of the life of the community. It's not going to close at 5.

This was an unbelievable tragedy for the entire family... his grief is immeasurable. There is no greater punishment than that.

Despite any defenses, he could not and would not put his family through the ordeal of a trial.

Cereal is universally appealing. It speaks to the sense of joy and freedom and happiness and indulgence people feel.
