years my-own
I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years.
past people done
I do a lot of research on what people have done in the past.
kids people miracle
As a kid I used to hold my breath longer than anybody else, and then I heard stories about people accidently underwater for 45 minutes - how do you recover from that? It's not a miracle. Something allows us to survive.
magic pieces illusion
I'd always wanted to do these types of things - pieces of magic I could put out not as illusions, but really doing it.
mother growing-up kids
Basically, I was a kid growing up with a single mother in Brooklyn.
thinking mind normal
I think everything I do is normal, not paranormal but normal. Its using the power of the mind to achieve whatever we can endure.
mother kids drawing
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.
believe feelings pushing
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.
mcdonalds ideas fasting
I was obsessed with the idea of fasting and isolation.
perseverance simple practice
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.
islands saws rope
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.
mother tarot cards
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.
art hands ideas
Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. And I was just intrigued with that idea.
kids houdini obsessed
As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini.
