Magic and new technology have always walked hand in hand – even back in the days of Robert Houdin.
The audiences are what keep me enthusiastic.
Physical rehab is often very, very hard work.
Never stop listening to your audience.
But when I go off stage I don’t have a deck of cards with me all the time.
I discovered something amazing, which has caused a lot of controversy – the fountain of youth. I have to keep it a secret!
I am fortunate to have the resources to have many methods to do each of my illusions.
Magic came very easy for me when I was a kid. When I was 8 years old I started doing it, and by the time I was 12, I was already published in magic books.
I find revealing the secrets of magic quite reprehensible.
I act like I’m 14, if you haven’t figured that out yet.
I will now make a scorpion appear in Osama bin Laden’s pants.
The key is for the audience never to know, so I have a plan B for every illusion.
I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren’t a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.
Magic has been something I’ve been really good at since I was really young. The ability has always come easy to me, I’m not sure why.
My uncle’s house burned down when I was 6 years old. We got out safely. But ever since, I’ve had a nightmare of dying in a fire.
What I’ve tried to do in my stage magic is to take a trick and give it an emotional hook.
The first trick I bought at Macy’s was a little wooden board where a quarter would appear and disappear.
The audience likes to be taken on new journeys.
Let sleeping dogs lie – who wants to rouse ’em?
I brush my teeth with a Sonicare toothbrush before every show.
