I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself... I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.

I'd go to Coney Island to hang out, and I saw a magician doing a rope trick on the boardwalk. I was fascinated. I guess that's how it started.

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

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.

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