I worked 18 years to become an overnight success. Now MagicPlace.com will short circuit that process for people.
I've been a live performer longer than I've been a television performer. For me, live is where it's at.
We are thrilled to work with Fun and share the same sentiment that we want do some really exciting and innovative things for the magic community.

I want to ride my motorcycle up the side of the Luxor to the light and vanish.
I think if you would have cut Houdini with a knife, blood wouldn't come out, PR would.
I am a very emotional person.
No one has the ability, that I'm aware of, to do anything supernatural, psychic, talk to the dead.
Life is but a series of memories you make.
You can't please everyone and trying to do so is the kiss of death.
ALWAYS KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DREAM EXCEPT YOU. YOU?RE IN CONTROL OF YOUR DESTINY - BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!
Indeed, most magicians catch the bug as kids. My first audience was my family in Long Island. My first 'assistant' was my mother, whom I levitated on a broom in our living room.
I put my life in danger every time I do some of these demonstrations, whether it's in the audience hanging upside down or on the stage. We now have a lot of dangerous stunts where anything can go wrong. In fact, I have fallen two stories and landed on the stage, so I am well aware of the dangers.
I think we can really use magic in a way never attempted before to inspire these children, help rally their self-confidence and even help them develop social skills. This is a national effort, not just here in Las Vegas. I know we can give them a true passion.
