Marriage is like a formality for me.

Stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will'.

I was published in Tarbell Course in Magic when I was 12.

When the time came to say, "Mom, I want to do this as a job," it was brutal. She was really against it. There were screaming matches. Some people are shut down by that and get defeated by it, and other people are empowered by the negativity. My father kind of encouraged me through that.

I discovered something amazing, which has caused a lot of controversy - the fountain of youth. I have to keep it a secret!

Pippin had an opening number called "Magic to Do," and Jules Fisher, the brilliant lighting designer lit it. Tony Walton did all of the sets. As a kid I thought, "Wow, I'm seeing onstage what a MGM musical would look like live." It was that good, and it was directed by Bob Fosse.

Usually, about two years of work go into each illusion, whether it's big or small. Two years of work on each five-minute piece.
