I was teaching magic at NYU when I was 16.

Dreams are illusions, and we can't let go of them because we would be dead.

The inspiration for my illusions comes from many places. Most often they come from my dreams, or an everyday occurrence in life.

Magic was a thing that, when I did it, it made all the kids go, "Ah, that's cool."

The most important thing is presentation.
