People haven't even begun to tap into the potential of what the mind is possible of doing. We only use a certain percentage of our brains.
I do a lot of research on what people have done in the past.
As a kid I used to hold my breath longer than anybody else, and then I heard stories about people accidently underwater for 45 minutes - how do you recover from that? It's not a miracle. Something allows us to survive.
I hope people remember me as a guy who brought magic to the people. You know, pushed the boundaries of wonder.
When I was about 19, I shot a tape of me doing magic just to people on the streets, and I would edit together all the reactions and I kept pushing this idea, and then ABC came on board and made my first show.
For every guy who would throw an egg there would be 100 people waving.
For a lot of people it's boring. It's a guy sitting in a box.
