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

If you ever saw All That Jazz [1979], Bob Fosse was kind of raised dancing in strip joints and the whole era of burlesque, and that form ran his visual aesthetic, the pacing and rhythm of what he did.

Watching people react, watching people be inspired, be taken on a journey, forgetting their problems, looking ahead in their own lives to doing impossible things. That's kind of what drives me, gives me a sense of focus.

Physical rehab is often very, very hard work.

When people say you can't do it - that it's impossible - never lose hope. Just because they couldn't doesn't mean you can't.

There was another guy suggested. He was a tall and dark-haired and Jewy, and I said, "No, he's too close to me." It ended up being Jerry Seinfeld.

I love creating new things. It's kind of my job, it's what I do, and I really have fun with it.
