sharks worry
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.
water dirt burying
I thought instead of burying myself under dirt, I'd bury myself under water so everybody could see that you're there.
beautiful creating magic
Magic is not about having a puzzle to solve. It's about creating a moment of awe and astonishment. And that can be a beautiful thing
believe thinking stronger
We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe. We are stronger and more resourceful than we know, and we can endure much more than we think we can.
dream emotional artist
Michael Jackson did something that no one else in history has managed - he connected with people on every level imaginable, all over the world. He seemed to speak to people at their very core and achieved the impossible. He reached people on a deep emotional level. And that is what any great artist or showman dreams of doing. That is why Michael Jackson was so special to me.
art magic form
Besides prostitution, magic is one of the oldest art forms that exist.
motivation inspiration thinking
As a magician, I think everything is possible. And I think if something is done by one person it can be done by others.
pain simple thinking
As a Magician, I try to show things to people that seem impossible. And 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 experimenting while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be. And that's what magic is to me.
believe capable resourceful
We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.
mind restriction capacity
In truth, the only restrictions on our capacity to astonish ourselves and each other are imposed by our own minds.
children believe never-forget
As children we believe that anything is possible, the trick is to never forget it.
hands touching feelings
To most magicians, cards themselves are marvels...For one thing, they feel special in your hand. Touching them, holding them, shuffling - the whole process is almost poetic. If you're in a room full of magicians and someone just mentions the word cards, within seconds, everyone is digging into their pockets and pulling out a deck of cards. It's one of the most amazing feelings ever.
years magic used
I'd like to bring magic back to the place it used to be 100 years ago.
magic
You don't get into magic...Magic gets into you.
