My mother was a teacher, and when she wanted to show me art and literature and science, she'd take me to museums, parks and free exhibitions.

I think great whites are the most beautiful and perfect creatures I've ever seen.

I do a lot of research on what people have done in the past.

I'd always wanted to do these types of things - pieces of magic I could put out not as illusions, but really doing it.

I think everything I do is normal, not paranormal but normal. Its using the power of the mind to achieve whatever we can endure.

You don't get into magic. Magic gets into you.

I remember finding a Houdini book at the library and seeing an image of him chained on the side of a building. He looked so intense and scary, and I couldnt get that image out of my head. That started building up my love of magic.
