It probably is harder to fool people when they know they're going to be fooled.

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

The pain is bad magicians ripping off good ones, doing magic badly, and making a mockery of the art.

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.

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

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.

I'm probably the only kid in history whose parents made him stop taking music lessons. They made me stop studying the accordion.
