I am fortunate to have the resources to have many methods to do each of my illusions.

[Producers] took me to Chicago at 18 to star in a show that ran for almost a year. And that's when my parents said, "Okay, I guess you can quit Fordham." Of course, when that show closed, as you can imagine, I came to New York and starved for years, but it's never an easy road.

All of the [Bob] Fosse-esque movements and point of view informed years and years of what I would do.

The real secret of magic lies in the performance.

My dreams are my dress rehearsals for my future.

For me, I was watching Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Orson Welles, Victor Fleming movies, and I said, "I want to tell stories like that. I want to move people like that. But I'm good at magic, so what am I going to do?" So I started using magic for the right reasons - to get the girl.

I find revealing the secrets of magic quite reprehensible.
