When I started out back in Louisville, there was Harry Collins. He was my first teacher. He saw that I was so obsessed with magic that he taught me the love of magic.

Perform as many times as you can in front of people you don't know.

Harry Collins was the first magician I ever saw back in 1965 when I was five years old. He was doing a magic show and I was the volunteer from the audience.

It's new and different every night. The charge you get from a good audience is like nothing else.

One of the funniest lines in my show was written for me by Alan Bursky. I really want to learn this routine!

I have no idea what's next, I simply don't have a clue.

I'm comfortable and confident about the future.

I am very impressed by the thinking that went into The Clarity Box. David Regal is diabolical.

I'm very happy to be employed. I always contend that in show business that if you're employed, then you're successful.

That's kind of what we have here. I think we've just grown apart, we have different philosophies, and we're going in different directions.

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.

I had never met a lord before, nor had I ever expected to meet one. It didn't matter what he looked like: he was a lord first, and a human being, with a face and limbs and body, long, long after.

The gift of today is a sacred-blessing.

As hard as it is, grieving can be a gift, if we use it to examine our own lives and come closer to those we love.

EGO will destroy you as soon as possible.

Greed is a fat demon with a small mouth and whatever you feed it is never enough.

You are an artist. The canvas is your life. Make something worth staring at.

We’re all gifted with the opportunity to succeed. But you get further if you extend the hand of friendship.

I think in a world where everyone wants to categorize and compartmentalize and rationalize, it's OK to be different.

Souls who do not practice prayer are like people whose limbs are paralyzed.
