When I was a little kid - and even still - I loved magic tricks. When I saw how movies got made - at least had a glimpse when I went on the Universal Studios tour with my grandfather, I remember feeling like this was another means by which I could do magic.

I did magic all my life from the time I was 12, and I like to tap into the magic from history.

I definitely went through my magic phase. I think all little boys do at some point or another - they get fascinated by magic tricks.

I arrived at school pensive, introverted, and not very sporty, so magic became a place of mystery and intrigue, an escape for my boyish mind.

I started performing when I was 9 or 10, doing magic.

Magic came very easy for me when I was a kid. When I was 8 years old I started doing it, and by the time I was 12, I was already published in magic books.

I love the magic of movies and television, and I always have since I was kid.

Indeed, most magicians catch the bug as kids. My first audience was my family in Long Island. My first 'assistant' was my mother, whom I levitated on a broom in our living room.
