I Used To Fly Around The Stage

When The Time Came To Say, "mom, I Want To Do This As A Job," It Was Brutal. She Was Really Against It. There Were Screaming Matches. Some People Are Shut Down By That And Get Defeated By It, And Other People Are Empowered By The Negativity. My Father Kind Of Encouraged Me Through That.

The Inspiration For My Illusions Comes From Many Places. Most Often They Come From My Dreams, Or An Everyday Occurrence In Life.

I Used To Fly Around The Stage Without Strings Or Camera Tricks. That Took Seven Years To Create.

I Could Vanish The Silk Better Than Ben Vereen - That Was For Sure. So I Think Maybe They Said, "okay, Maybe He Has Something To Offer." Years Pass And I Get A Bit Of A Career, And Ben Vereen Ends Up Hosting One Of My Specials Where I Walked Through The Great Wall Of China. Things Came Full Circle In Kind Of An Ironic Way, When You Have That Honor Of People That Have Influenced You So Much Host Your Show. It's A Huge Experience In Your Life.

I'm Inventing New Principles. The Audience Has A Point Of View That No One Can Predict.
