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.

My father wanted to be an actor, dreamed about being an actor, but he gave it up because my mom and his family told him, "You're never going to make it; it's too tough out there."

But Vegas is really my first home.

You can feel better about yourself in a very short period of time depending on the kind of magic that you are doing.

The audiences are what keep me enthusiastic.

I invented magic stuff; it came very easily. Now, I sucked at everything else, but I was good at magic as a kid.

I really wanted to succeed. I wanted to be accepted. I read every magic book that I possibly could, studied every move, and by the time I was 12, they really accepted me, they embraced me.
