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

I am fortunate to have the resources to have many methods to do each of my illusions.

Later on, towards the end of their lives, I thanked her. I said, "Mom, you were really tough." She said, "I wasn't tough! I always believed in you."

My dreams are my dress rehearsals for my future.

As I did more of that, I realized, "Well, maybe I should do more magic."

You have to learn certain skills to present magic.

Later, when I was at Caesar's Palace, and [Joe and Gil Cates] were trying to get me to have opening acts for the show, they gave me a list of people, and Rosie O'Donnell was one of them. I said, "I don't really need any opening acts. I have funny stuff in the show, and I do a lot of comedy and stuff."
