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

You don't get into magic. Magic gets into you.

As children we believe that anything is possible, the trick is to never forget it.

In truth, the only restrictions on our capacity to astonish ourselves and each other are imposed by our own minds.

It was just like a digital fixation with cards and math and science and then I started to look at images of great magicians from Houdini down the line.

I'd go to Coney Island to hang out, and I saw a magician doing a rope trick on the boardwalk. I was fascinated. I guess that's how it started.

Magic is not about having a puzzle to solve. It's about creating a moment of awe and astonishment. And that can be a beautiful thing.

We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.

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

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

We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe. We are stronger and more resourceful than we know, and we can endure much more than we think we can.

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

Sometimes what we don't want is actually what we need.

Essential to life, is desiring the things that you need, than needing the things you desire.

Whatever it is that hurts you, don't talk to anyone about it.

It's a hard line to walk, man. Cause you know you want to make this movie, you want to make it dark and real, you want to show all this stuff but unfortunately you can't always do that.

Meditation is a half-way house between thinking and contemplating.

This life is a stellar opportunity to realize what you are, to bring what you first are into manifestation.

Now I'm instantly nervous about the demands of doing a weekly column.

There are no wrong notes; some are just more right than others.

As simplistic as this may sound, commitment is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
