The magic's back, folks.

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

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.

But we were really locked in to that kind of format, and as the '90s wore on, it became for me more solidified, in that sense that there weren't as many of those magical shows that were just magic all the way through as there had been in earlier years.

I hope people remember me as a guy who brought magic to the people. You know, pushed the boundaries of wonder.

I had a mystical experience when I was in my late teens, early 20s, and I spent years trying to recapture that.

I remember being young in the 1960s... we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.

You can't magic yourself back 10 years.

When I was younger, I was looking for this magic meaning of life.

We all have those dreams of going back in time and seeing what it was like when our parents were younger.
