Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. And I was just intrigued with that idea.

Well, I also love magic, which is, you know, different than showmanship. Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder.

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

I consider myself a showman, and I love magic, and I love art, and I love performance, and they're all separate.

I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself ... I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.

I was obsessed with the idea of fasting and isolation.
