Whether you're shuffling a deck of cards or holding your breath, magic is pretty simple: It comes down to training, practice, and experimentation , followed up by ridiculous pursuit and relentless perseverance.

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

My mother was a teacher, and when she wanted to show me art and literature and science, she'd take me to museums, parks and free exhibitions.

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.

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 a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini.

I think everything I do is normal, not paranormal but normal. Its using the power of the mind to achieve whatever we can endure.
