I think the negative reinforcement really helped me in my very beginnings.

Physical rehab is often very, very hard work.

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

I have a bunch of islands in the Bahamas that we made into this amazing, magical place. And we have these birds; they're trained to do certain things on the island, which is awesome. These toucans had a baby toucan, and the baby toucan, every hour that you'd look at this toucan, he would change.

What I've tried to do in my stage magic is to take a trick and give it an emotional hook.

I could vanish the silk better than Ben Vereen - that was for sure. So I think maybe they said, "Okay, maybe he has something to offer." Years pass and I get a bit of a career, and Ben Vereen ends up hosting one of my specials where I walked through the Great Wall of China. Things came full circle in kind of an ironic way, when you have that honor of people that have influenced you so much host your show. It's a huge experience in your life.

I'm a horrible karaoke singer.
