For Me, It's About Risk Taking, Taking

The First Trick I Bought At Macy's Was A Little Wooden Board Where A Quarter Would Appear And Disappear.

Magicians Are The People Who Began To Use Film As An Illusion On Stage.

There Was A Guy Named Ed Mishell. He Was This Grandfatherly Guy Who Did All The Illustrations For The Catalogs And Reviewed Magic Effects For The Magic Magazines, So All Of The Magic Dealers Would Send Him Magic Effects For Free-it Was A Great Deal. His Basement Was Full Of This Stuff. He Took Me Under His Wing, And He Would Sneak Me Into The Society Of American Magicians Meetings In New York. It's The World's Oldest Magic Organization.

Usually, About Two Years Of Work Go Into Each Illusion, Whether It's Big Or Small. Two Years Of Work On Each Five-minute Piece.

But When I Go Off Stage I Don't Have A Deck Of Cards With Me All The Time.
