“We are all capable of so much more than we think.”

“I've always loved the idea of the impossible.”

“As a kid, I saw that my dad was a magician. So I knew that things that seem to be impossible are possible.”

“As a magician, I think everything is possible. And I think if something is done by one person it can be done by others.”

“I think magic is very related to hypnosis. It's a mystery.”

“Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.”

“I think that when you're doing a live show, you have to be on your toes.”

“The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.”

“I'm not a daredevil. I'm a magician. I do what I do because I believe in it.”

“I'd like to bring magic back to the place it used to be 100 years ago.”

“Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever.”

“It's not about being fearless, it's about acting in spite of fear.”

“For me, it's about pushing the limits of what's possible.”

“Your mind is the most powerful weapon you have.”

“We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.”

“In my work, I'm always trying to convince people that I'm not a magician. And of course, I'm a magician.”

“I try to do things that are real. I don't like to fake anything.”

“I'd go to the library and read about Houdini. I was fascinated by his life.”

“Anything that you can imagine, you can create.”

“The physical is the easiest part. The mental is the hardest.”
