1 | When I was about 19, I shot a tape of me doing magic just to people on the streets, and I would edit together all the reactions and I kept pushing this idea, and then ABC came on board and made my first show. |
2 | Whether you're shuffling a deck of cards or holding your breath, magic is pretty simple: It comes down to training, practice, and experimentation, followed up by ridiculous pursuit and relentless perseverance. |
3 | I think magic, whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards, is pretty simple. It's practice, it's training, and it's - It's practice, it's training and experimenting, while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be. |
4 | It was just like a digital fixation with cards and math and science and then I started to look at images of great magicians from Houdini down the line. |
5 | As a kid I used to hold my breath longer than anybody else, and then I heard stories about people accidentally underwater for 45 minutes - how do you recover from that? It's not a miracle. Something allows us to survive. |
6 | I don't think you can say something is or isn't magic. That's what was cool about Houdini, because he was a magician who had a magic show, but he was also an escape artist, and they kind of, over time, blended together. They both kind of enhance each other, I think. |
7 | I remember my mother had this deck of cards that her mother had given her and that she passed on to me. It was a gypsy tarot deck that I used to carry everywhere. |
8 | If I asked you to stand in one spot for 35 hours or a certain length of time, you could do it. |
9 | My mother was a teacher, and when she wanted to show me art and literature and science, she'd take me to museums, parks and free exhibitions. |
10 | We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe. |
11 | Well, I also love magic, which is, you know, different than showmanship. Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. |
12 | I remember finding a Houdini book at the library and seeing an image of him chained on the side of a building. He looked so intense and scary, and I couldn't get that image out of my head. That started building up my love of magic. |
13 | I think that when Evel Knievel crashed over the fountain at Caesar's, it kind of gave you a credibility and then anticipation for everything he did. |
14 | I thought instead of burying myself under dirt, I'd bury myself under water so everybody could see that you're there. |
15 | I'd go to Coney Island to hang out, and I saw a magician doing a rope trick on the boardwalk. I was fascinated. I guess that's how it started. |
16 | I'd like to bring magic back to the place it used to be 100 years ago. |
17 | I've always liked artists like Chris Burden, who would take performances, put them in galleries, and then do things that were on the edge. |
18 | I hope people remember me as a guy who brought magic to the people. You know, pushed the boundaries of wonder. |
19 | I think anybody can do any of these if they train. I don't recommend it, but anybody could do it if there was a need. |
20 | I think everything I do is normal, not paranormal but normal. It's using the power of the mind to achieve whatever we can endure. |
21 | I think great whites are the most beautiful and perfect creatures I've ever seen. |
22 | I think that ,when you die, you go back to where you came from before you were born. So I don't think death is a bad thing. |
23 | Basically, I was a kid growing up with a single mother in Brooklyn. |
24 | I believe that fear of life brings a greater fear of death. |
25 | I consider myself a showman, and I love magic, and I love art, and I love performance, and they're all separate. |
26 | I do a lot of research on what people have done in the past. |
27 | I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years. |
28 | I was obsessed with the idea of fasting and isolation. |
29 | I'd always wanted to do these types of things - pieces of magic I could put out not as illusions, but really doing it. |
30 | My only fear is the unknown. |
31 | People haven't even begun to tap into the potential of what the mind is possible of doing. We only use a certain percentage of our brains. |
32 | As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini. |
33 | Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. And I was just intrigued with that idea. |
34 | I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself... I can only hope for the best and expect the worse. |
35 | My mother encouraged it so much. She was so supportive. Even if as a kid, I would do the dumbest trick, which now that I look back on some things, she would love it, she would say that's amazing, or if I'd make the ugliest drawing, she would hang it up. She was amazing. |
36 | In truth, the only restrictions on our capacity to astonish ourselves and each other are imposed by our own minds. |
37 | But as they say about sharks, it's not the ones you see that you have to worry about, it's the ones you don't see. |
