I went to NYU completely with the idea I wanted to be the next David Copperfield.

I first started doing hidden-camera segments on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.' He was the coolest guy in the world to work for because he understands the creative process, and he had total trust. And he just let me make up whatever I wanted; I experimented and tried and played. We had a lot of fun over there.

I don't have a game plan. I have no idea what I'll be doing next.

I'll order anything that has the word 'fig' or 'crusted' in the menu description.

I might be 'Candid Camera's number one fan.

Alan Funt was the first hidden-camera magician. It was the playful nature of the way he worked that really inspired me. A lot of prank shows and hidden-camera shows can be a little mean-spirited. Funt was never like that.
