Magic Is Not About Having A Puzzle

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 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.

I Remember My Mother Had This Deck Of Cards That Her Mother Had Given Her And That She Passed On To Me. It Was A Gypsy Tarot Deck That I Used To Carry Everywhere.

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.

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.
