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

I love amazing people. I love dazzling them. That's why I think performing magic is one of the greatest things a person can do.

Not only do I lie, I take real pleasure in lying, in the transmission of magic effects.

I started doing radio pieces with no clear, preconceived idea, except that I have a tendency to be theatrical.

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.

Magic is a powerful art that can support a weak performer.

I'm pretty fortunate that I'm in the films I'm in largely because the directors have asked me to be in them. I'd love to do more of them, but the writing and historical stuff I'll probably always do.
