drown
If not, I will drown and you all will see something pretty insane.
egg guy people throw
For every guy who would throw an egg there would be 100 people waving.
dream emotional artist
Michael Jackson did something that no one else in history has managed - he connected with people on every level imaginable, all over the world. He seemed to speak to people at their very core and achieved the impossible. He reached people on a deep emotional level. And that is what any great artist or showman dreams of doing. That is why Michael Jackson was so special to me.
motivation inspiration thinking
As a magician, I think everything is possible. And I think if something is done by one person it can be done by others.
kids people miracle
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.
magic pieces illusion
I'd always wanted to do these types of things - pieces of magic I could put out not as illusions, but really doing it.
islands saws rope
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.
boundaries brought guy hope people pushed
I hope people remember me as a guy who brought magic to the people. You know, pushed the boundaries of wonder.
crashed
I think that when Evel Knievel crashed over the fountain at Caesar's, it kind of gave you a credibility and then anticipation for everything he did.
blended both cool enhance escape magician time
I don't think you can say something is or isn't magic. That's what was cool about Houdini, because he was a magician who had a magic show, but he was also an escape artist, and they kind of, over time, blended together. They both kind of enhance each other, I think.
