I Find Revealing The Secrets Of Magic

When I Am On The Road And Heading To My Next Venue, I Think About My Audience.

When The Time Came To Say, "mom, I Want To Do This As A Job," It Was Brutal. She Was Really Against It. There Were Screaming Matches. Some People Are Shut Down By That And Get Defeated By It, And Other People Are Empowered By The Negativity. My Father Kind Of Encouraged Me Through That.

[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.

I'm Really Trying Hard Not To Do Anything That Has Been Done Before. So Knowing Everything I Can About The Legacy Of Magic Challenges My Team And I To Invent New Illusions.

Science And Technology Were Often Used By [the Magician Of Old], Even Before They Came Into The Marketplace On A Mass Basis. For Example, Prior To The Moving Picture Going Into Theatre, Magicians Were Using The Technique Of Images In Motion As Illusions In Their Shows. At That Time The Process Was So New, An Audience Perceived It As Magic. Also In The Early Stages Of Holograms Magicians Would Use These Images To Baffle And Mystify Their Fans. Hence, You Always Need To Stay One Step Ahead Of The Technology Game To "wow" The Audience.
