I Thought Instead Of Burying Myself Under

My Mother Encouraged It So Much. She Was So Supportive. Even If As A Kid, I Would Do The Dumbest Trick, Which Now That I Look Back On Some Things, She Would Love It, She Would Say That's Amazing, Or If I'd Make The Ugliest Drawing, She Would Hang It Up. She Was Amazing.

Magic's An Art Where You Use Slight Of Hand Or Illusion To Create Wonder. And I Was Just Intrigued With That Idea.

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.

My Mother Was A Teacher, And When She Wanted To Show Me Art And Literature And Science, She'd Take Me To Museums, Parks And Free Exhibitions.

I'd Always Wanted To Do These Types Of Things - Pieces Of Magic I Could Put Out Not As Illusions, But Really Doing It.
