We all possess the need to dream.

The inspiration for my illusions comes from many places. Most often they come from my dreams, or an everyday occurrence in life.

Normally, I do magic on the stage. But I can make magic credible and resonate through a TV screen.

In magic, it takes two or three years for me to create a 5-minute illusion for me to get it to the level I want.

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 see people's need to dream, people's need to escape - you see it! That's why people come to comedy shows, that's why they come to your movies ... We're so needed in this world. Not as much as medicine , but to dream for a while.

I'm the luckiest man in the world - performing 500 shows a year and loving what I do - illusion IS my day to day life.
