A trick can’t necessarily be explained as ‘You do this, this and this…’ It’s more ‘This is why your brain thinks this…’ because I tricked the brain and you didn’t see it.

I started doing birthday parties and performances on stage at school, I was just really ambitious.” When you learn how to do a trick, it’s like a chef seeing how a dish is being made? “I would say at my first paid show, which I was around 10 for. I had no idea you had to work and make money and all that, there are other people that do this so why can’t I? But then I realized that in showbusiness, business is the bigger word.” At what point did you realize that you can make money from this? I just knew it was something that I wanted to do. “It was right in that moment and before I knew what it took to make a living. What kid uses thimbles? I had these colored thimbles and I had no idea what I was doing, but I brought them in.” So when did you really want to be a magician? I had a magic wand that shrunk, a ball in a vase that disappears, and I tried to do thimble magic, which is ridiculous. “I brought a few in to kindergarten for show and tell when I was 3. That is the most difficult act, because it is all show and tell.” So what was the first trick you performed? It was all visual, like cards or producing doves. It’s an act where a magician would stand on stage silent, but there was music. “It is what they call a manipulation act.
But I had seen all those guys and many others on television growing up, and that was how I got bit by the magic bug.” Do you remember the first trick that you saw? Also a guy named Bill Malone, who is an amazing close up magician, and Jeff McBride, who now runs a magic school. Growing up Lance Burton, who was a Las Vegas staple for many years. “The stuff I read is usually folks that were around before I was able to see them. There are very few things you can’t Google.” When you look back at the old stuff, who inspires you?
Nowadays you can Google pretty much everything, but with magic, you can’t. It’s the same reason that we go to the cinema or the movies. “I think that there is an element of mystery, but I think what a lot of people like about it is the element of surprise.
