Marriage is like a formality for me.

For me to grow, I have to know about the foundation that came before.

[ Gil Cates] said, "You've got a point of view with your magic. There's this comedy to it, there's drama. You're telling stories with magic."

Magic has been something I've been really good at since I was really young. The ability has always come easy to me, I'm not sure why.

Everything that you'd see on The Ed Sullivan Show was at the Tannen's Magic. You'd think that if you could afford a trick like Doc Nixon's Dove Vanish, then you could be on The Ed Sullivan Show as an 8-year-old kid.

As I did more of that, I realized, "Well, maybe I should do more magic."

I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.
