Tags: Mind, Possible, PotentialWe are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.
Tags: Capable, InfinitelyWell, I also love magic, which is, you know, different than showmanship. Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder.
Tags: Art, Hand, LoveAs 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.
Tags: Anybody, Else, UsedI 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.
Tags: Cool, Time, TogetherI 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 couldn't get that image out of my head. That started building up my love of magic.
Tags: Book, Him, LoveI 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.
Tags: Her, Mother, RememberIt 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.
Tags: Great, Science, StartedWhen I was about 19, I shot a tape of me doing magic just to people on the streets, and I would edit together all the reactions and I kept pushing this idea, and then ABC came on board and made my first show.
Tags: Idea, Show, TogetherWhether 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.
Tags: Pretty, Simple, TrainingMagic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. And I was just intrigued with that idea.
Tags: Art, Hand, IdeaMy 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.
Tags: Amazing, Love, MotherBut 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.
Tags: Sharks, WorryI'd always wanted to do these types of things - pieces of magic I could put out not as illusions, but really doing it.
Tags: Magic, Put, WantedI 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.
