Whether You're Shuffling A Deck Of Cards

My Mother Encouraged It So Much. She Was So Supportive. Even If As A Kid, I Would Do The Dumbest Trick, Which Now That I Look Back On Some Things, She Would Love It, She Would Say That's Amazing, Or If I'd Make The Ugliest Drawing, She Would Hang It Up. She Was Amazing.

As A Magician, I Try To Show Things To People That Seem Impossible. And I Think Magic, Whether I'm Holding My Breath Or Shuffling A Deck Of Cards, Is Pretty Simple. It's Practice, It's Training, And It's Practice, It's Training And Experimenting, While Pushing Through The Pain To Be The Best That I Can Be. And That's What Magic Is To Me.

As A Kid I Used To Hold My Breath Longer Than Anybody Else, And Then I Heard Stories About People Accidently Underwater For 45 Minutes - How Do You Recover From That? It's Not A Miracle. Something Allows Us To Survive.

I Believe That Fear Of Life Brings A Greater Fear Of Death.

To Most Magicians, Cards Themselves Are Marvels...for One Thing, They Feel Special In Your Hand. Touching Them, Holding Them, Shuffling - The Whole Process Is Almost Poetic. If You're In A Room Full Of Magicians And Someone Just Mentions The Word Cards, Within Seconds, Everyone Is Digging Into Their Pockets And Pulling Out A Deck Of Cards. It's One Of The Most Amazing Feelings Ever.
