I was obsessed with the idea of fasting and isolation.

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.

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

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

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.

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