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.

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

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.

We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.

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

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.
