We all possess the need to dream.

Watching people react, watching people be inspired, be taken on a journey, forgetting their problems, looking ahead in their own lives to doing impossible things. That's kind of what drives me, gives me a sense of focus.

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.

Dreams are illusions, and we can't let go of them because we would be dead.

I'm a horrible karaoke singer.

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

For me, it's about risk taking, taking things in new directions. Because every single time, no matter how much you learn, you can never say, "Okay, I did the hardest thing I ever did. I'm prepared now. Now it's going to be easy." Of course it's not easy.
