If you want to talk about magic, the stuff that blows me away is the stuff that's done close up.

Magic in cinema is a bit like ventriloquism on the radio.

I am a fan of magic and fantasy, particularly when it's grounded in reality.

I love witches and magic and dress-up and make-believe.

I love the idea that magic and witchcraft and battles between supernatural creatures could be raging all around us but just out of our sight.

The magic of creation has always fascinated me.

I am a great admirer of mystery and magic. Look at this life - all mystery and magic.

For me, the most exciting thing is to create good magic that's entertaining for an audience, and it would be lovely if a magician was fooled as well.

I love anything that's sort of surreal and with fantasy.

I've been doing magic since I was five years old, and when I was trying to get acting gigs, I found I could make a good living at it. It's great to kind of shake the cobwebs off and get the feeling of a live audience again. I love close-up magic, the card stuff, the coin stuff, the really up-close David Blaine stuff.
