I am the Mindfreak, there's no Reality! Just this World of Illusion that keeps on haunting me.

I think if you would have cut Houdini with a knife, blood wouldn't come out, PR would.

I've been a live performer longer than I've been a television performer. For me, live is where it's at.

Pain can be a beautiful thing.

I think we can really use magic in a way never attempted before to inspire these children, help rally their self-confidence and even help them develop social skills. This is a national effort, not just here in Las Vegas. I know we can give them a true passion.

I have mentally overcome situations most of you would be terrified to ever attempt: heights, fire, needles, spiders, snakes, angry monkeys, being shot, being hit by a car, going blind - you name it, I have been in a situation where I have had to mentally overcome my inherent fears to do my job.

I have real TV studios. If I have an idea, I can go shoot it. I can experiment. If I choose to air it or not, it's at my discretion. I don't have to do it to somebody else's time frame.
