When I Am On The

Magicians Are The People Who Began To Use Film As An Illusion On Stage.

I Really Did Sneak Into Broadway Shows, Starting When I Was 12.

Actually, I Started As A Ventriloquist And My Music Teacher Said, "why Don't You Emcee The Talent Show?" My Act Was Out Of The Back Of Boys' Life Magazine-they Had A Whole Series Of Jokes In The Back Of Boys' Life Magazine For Boy Scouts. So My Act Was Jokes With My Ventriloquist Figure, And It Was Really Bad, But I Walked Into The Classroom Afterward And The Kids Went, "wow, You're Cool." I Wasn't Cool At All, But I Thought, "well, This Is A Pretty Good Deal."

In Magic, It Takes Two Or Three Years For Me To Create A 5-minute Illusion For Me To Get It To The Level I Want.

From The Very Beginning, I Studied Acting, Directing, Lighting, Dance And Movement. I Didn't Rely On Just The Magic To Take Place. It's A Shame That A Lot Of Magicians Just Rely On The Trick Itself And They Have No Other Abilities. They Get Away With The Wonder Factor, And I Don't Think That's Enough. It's Great, But It's Not Enough.
