But as they say about sharks, it's not the ones you see that you have to worry about, it's the ones you don't see.

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

Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. And I was just intrigued with that idea.

Michael Jackson did something that no one else in history has managed - he connected with people on every level imaginable, all over the world. He seemed to speak to people at their very core and achieved the impossible. He reached people on a deep emotional level. And that is what any great artist or showman dreams of doing. That is why Michael Jackson was so special to me.

I remember my mother had this deck of cards that her mother had given her and that she passed on to me. It was a gypsy tarot deck that I used to carry everywhere.

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

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