You can't please everyone and trying to do so is the kiss of death.
I love develop as an artist, to push my envelope, to grow, to make mistakes, to learn from them and to try and be the very best that I can be while I'm on this earth.
I wish what I do was all real. Some of it's real, some of it's an illusion and I try to blur the line between both, but unfortunately I've got to be honest with you. Taking a $1 bill and turning it into a $100 - unfortunately it's not real.
You can't please everyone, and trying to is the kiss of death. I don't care about Wayne Newton's demographics. When I do, I'll know that it's time to quit.

I worked 18 years to become an overnight success. Now MagicPlace.com will short circuit that process for people.

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.
