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.

Magic is not about having a puzzle to solve. It's about creating a moment of awe and astonishment. And that can be a beautiful thing.

Basically, I was a kid growing up with a single mother in Brooklyn.

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

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

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

Besides prostitution, magic is one of the oldest art forms that exist.
