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.
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
art magic form
Besides prostitution, magic is one of the oldest art forms that exist.
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.
blended both cool enhance escape magician time
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.
believe fear-of-death fears-of-life
I believe that fear of life brings a greater fear of death.
book building-up scary
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 couldnt get that image out of my head. That started building up my love of magic.
math lines digital
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.
beautiful thinking perfect
I think great whites are the most beautiful and perfect creatures I've ever seen.
thinking anticipation kind
I think that when Evel Knievel crashed over the fountain at Caesars, it kind of gave you a credibility and then anticipation for everything he did.
mother teacher art
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.
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.
