I'm a magician. I've learned to do some really cool tricks like levitating myself and melting forks.

I don't want to be 'the magician'; I want to be an innocent bystander along with the magical moment.

One of the things that Teller and I are obsessed with, one of the reasons that we're in magic, is the difference between fantasy and reality. That is the subject that, if you have a brain in your head, is always dealt with in magic. The smarter the tricks you're doing, the more that' s an important thing.

I'm really trying hard not to do anything that has been done before. So knowing everything I can about the legacy of magic challenges my team and I to invent new illusions.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

Every book that you pick up takes you a step away from your real world, but if you read a book about magic, it takes you an extra two steps.

People have expectations of me but I'm not a magician.

Magic is an art form where you lie and tell people you are lying.

It's very exciting to take magic into a new direction, whereas a lot of times magic comes from a place of sort of ego, like, 'Look what I can do that you can't do.' It kind of comes across that way a lot, and you're always trying to challenge the magician; you're always trying to figure out how the magician is doing it.
