I worked 18 years to become an overnight success. Now MagicPlace.com will short circuit that process for people.

I spent several years cooking on a line.

I lived job-to-job before 'Magic Mike.' It certainly has meant a lot to me from a financial standpoint.

When I first came to L.A., I worked at the Magic Castle, and it was so much fun. But the best part of magic for me these days is not having to do it for a living. It's being able to pull a trick out when people least expect it, when they don't know that you do magic.

I was very lucky. I started my own commercial company.

You know, magic markets don't appear all the time, so you take advantage of them.

I went and worked at a TV station in Stillwater. I was actually account manager for commercial accounts, selling ad space and everything.

My interest was magic, believe it or not. I became an amateur magician and did something like 400 magic shows through my teen years.

In 2005, I did a lot on 'Habibi' and a lot of business stuff. I got an agent that year.
