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.

As a magician, I think everything is possible. And I think if something is done by one person it can be done by others.

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.

In truth, the only restrictions on our capacity to astonish ourselves and each other are imposed by our own minds.
