You don't get into magic. Magic gets into you.
I'd like to bring magic back to the place it used to be 100 years ago.
Besides prostitution, magic is one of the oldest art forms that exist.
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 practice, it's training and experimenting, while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be. And that's what magic is to me.
Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. And I was just intrigued with that idea.
I'd always wanted to do these types of things - pieces of magic I could put out not as illusions, but really doing it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
