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.

Every acting gig isn't the same, every writing job isn't the same, every live performance isn't the same - the challenge is the level of difficulty or ease, and that may vary.

Writing is the only thing in my life that doesn't get easier. It just doesn't.

I grew up like Athena — covered with playing cards instead of armor — and, at the age of seven, materialized on a TV show, doing magic.

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

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

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