Everyone understands cards and relates to it. They have them in their homes and in their hands, so it makes them very accessible.

You have to learn certain skills to present magic.

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.

I see people's need to dream, people's need to escape - you see it! That's why people come to comedy shows, that's why they come to your movies ... We're so needed in this world. Not as much as medicine , but to dream for a while.

Magic is used in espionage, all the time, for clandestine things. I've got a whole library from a gentleman who was hired by the CIA to create magic technology for the use of anti-terrorism.

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

My dreams are my dress rehearsals for my future.
