I think pain is easiest to avoid by filling the days with distractions - I wish to remove everything to search for a truth.

Losing someone when you're young is the greatest pain anyone can face

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 - It's practice, it's training and experimenting, while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be.

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

It was just like a digital fixation with cards and math and science and then I started to look at images of great magicians from Houdini down the line.

As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini.
