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

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.

We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe. We are stronger and more resourceful than we know, and we can endure much more than we think we can.

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

I was obsessed with the idea of fasting and isolation.

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.

I'd like to bring magic back to the place it used to be 100 years ago.
