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.

It is the unspoken ethic of all magicians to not reveal the secrets.

I try to help people realize their dreams by using magic to tell stories that educate, move, and inspire.

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.

We all possess the need to dream.

I invented magic stuff; it came very easily. Now, I sucked at everything else, but I was good at magic as a kid.

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