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.

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

It was just like a digital fixation with cards and math and science and then I started to look at images of great magicians from Houdini down the line.

As children we believe that anything is possible, the trick is to never forget it.

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

I thought instead of burying myself under dirt, I'd bury myself under water so everybody could see that you're there.

I was obsessed with the idea of fasting and isolation.
