But Vegas is really my first home.
It is the unspoken ethic of all magicians to not reveal the secrets.
The first trick I bought at Macy's was a little wooden board where a quarter would appear and disappear.
The audiences are what keep me enthusiastic.
But when I go off stage I don't have a deck of cards with me all the time.
I have always been interested in pushing magic forward.
Magic came very easy for me when I was a kid. When I was 8 years old I started doing it, and by the time I was 12, I was already published in magic books.
For me to grow, I have to know about the foundation that came before.
For my father, being kind was natural... I have to really work at it. I love competing and winning, conquest - not words you usually associate with kindness.
I need a form of escape even when I'm working really hard.
I act like I'm 14, if you haven't figured that out yet.
Magic is my paint.
I really did sneak into Broadway shows, starting when I was 12.
I was an only child. We were so poor, my parents and I had the same room.
My show is constantly evolving... new tricks are added, old ones are dropped... so it stays fresh. But it's the randomly selected participants from the audience that make it fresh and provide some of the best comic relief.
I am fortunate to have the resources to have many methods to do each of my illusions.
Magic really helped me.
You can feel better about yourself in a very short period of time depending on the kind of magic that you are doing.
Physical rehab is often very, very hard work.
The audience likes to be taken on new journeys.
