I'm really trying hard not to do anything that has been done before. So knowing everything I can about the legacy of magic challenges my team and I to invent new illusions.

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

I had a point of view, which was different. I looked at magic as theater, as storytelling, and I tried to have an approach that was different from what they were doing. "How can I move people and really get them to dream with a card trick, with coin magic, or even a piece of stage magic?"

I'm a magician, not a singer.

You can feel better about yourself in a very short period of time depending on the kind of magic that you are doing.

To make [parents] happy, I went to Fordham University for three weeks, while at the same time running ads in Variety, "magician-actor David Copperfield."

I love what I'm doing, I love creating new things.
