When I started doing magic as a kid, my parents had no problem.

I'm just waiting for people to start asking me to make the rain disappear.

There were really a bunch of old, old magic hobbyists at the time, some of them who actually had known [Harry] Houdini. You had to be 14 to go to these meetings, and he snuck me in at 12. It was glorious.

Everyone understands cards and relates to it. They have them in their homes and in their hands, so it makes them very accessible.

I fell in love with magic acts and bridged into that.

I love creating new things. It's kind of my job, it's what I do, and I really have fun with it.

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