Quotes

 * Magic is not about having a puzzle to solve. It's about creating a moment of awe and astonishment. And that can be a beautiful thing
 * Interview with Brett Martin for Time Out New York (April 1-8, 1999, on-line).


 * As a Magician, I try to show things to people that seem impossible. And I think magic whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards is pretty simple: It's practice, it's training and it's experimenting while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be. And that's what magic is to me.
 * Speech at TedMed for TedTalks in October, 2009.
