A circus is like a mother in whom one can confide and who rewards and punishes.

I wish that the circuses that were around now felt like they did then. They're not quite as elegant or as magical as they used to be. There was something about the old tent shows, the Big Top, the canvas, the lights, the sawdust, the hay and the animals that's just missing now. Now, it's all urbanized and maybe a little garish.

This circus games aspect has existed since the beginning of my career.

When I was a kid I joined the circus. I did that. It is true. But it's not like you think. There was a guy, he had his own circus. His name was Carol Jacobs and he owned it. It was a small thing.

Magic is the Special Olympics of entertainment.

I always liked circuses, so I would have enjoyed that.

The circus itself is my personal ideal entertainment venue.

Magic is like special effects live, and I love to perform, so it sounded like doing magic tricks were a good way to entertain people.

We didn't reinvent the circus. We repackaged it in a much more modern way.
