It's really hard to think of one kind of magic as a favorite. I've been really fortunate in that I've been able to perform such a diverse range of things.

I've always taken a lot of cues from comedy minds. The guy that discovered me in the very beginning was Joseph Cates. Joe and Gil Cates were the Cates brothers. Gil produced the Oscars for many years. Joe produced a lot of comedy specials, Steve Martin specials, and he discovered me, this 18-year-old kid.

Magic came very easy for me when I was a kid. When I was 8 years old I started doing it, and by the time I was 12, I was already published in magic books

But when I go off stage I don't have a deck of cards with me all the time.

In magic, it takes two or three years for me to create a 5-minute illusion for me to get it to the level I want.

We all possess the need to dream.

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