I discovered Musha Cay and the islands around it in the Exumas.

Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.

To make [parents] happy, I went to Fordham University for three weeks, while at the same time running ads in Variety, "magician-actor David Copperfield."

The first trick I bought at Macy's was a little wooden board where a quarter would appear and disappear.

My job is to make people dream. Of course, there's a lot of technical stuff behind the scenes and a lot of hard work behind it, but I get to watch people see the result of that hard work and feel that wonder and feel that discovery, all the time.

The real secret of magic lies in the performance.

It is the unspoken ethic of all magicians to not reveal the secrets.
