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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
