Marriage is like a formality for me.

I discovered Musha Cay and the islands around it in the Exumas.

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

There was a place in New York called Tannen's Magic. It still exists. But back in the day, it was really fantastic. You'd go into the old Wurlitzer Building, take the elevator to the 13th floor, which was labeled 14, because of bad luck, the elevator would open, and you'd be in heaven. It was all of these guys doing magic stuff with props. It's kind of gone now, that experience, the brick-and-mortar magic shop, but you really felt like you'd landed in the most amazing place in the world.

Magic was a thing that, when I did it, it made all the kids go, "Ah, that's cool."

I'm really happy that I had the foundations of knowing where I came from.

From the very beginning, I studied acting, directing, lighting, dance and movement. I didn't rely on just the magic to take place. It's a shame that a lot of magicians just rely on the trick itself and they have no other abilities. They get away with the wonder factor, and I don't think that's enough. It's great, but it's not enough.
