I think a lot of people just assumed I came to L.A. to do more television and get into show business.

I never talk much about my family, but my grandfather was friendly with these guys, with magicians and ventriloquists on the highest levels, and I was just interested.

I like being fooled. When I watch someone who does sleight-of-hand and fools me, it's a great feeling.

I always read what I write out loud, and I did that long before any radio thing. My editor finds that unusual.

If it sounds too good to be true, it always is.

I suppose that if I could only do one thing, a solid card effect would be pretty high on the list. That's the root of it all, sleight-of-hand. It's certainly the thing I feel most comfortable with.

For me, the most exciting thing is to create good magic that's entertaining for an audience, and it would be lovely if a magician was fooled as well.
