“What makes most magicians bad magicians is their inability to act well, and here I was, a guy that had acting ability, so I thought, “Well, when I watch most magicians, if they were better actors, I’d like them better as magicians.” I personally can’t stand most magicians, because either their act sucks, they’re bad magicians, or they can’t act, so those three qualities made me really hate that art form. But I felt like if I could be trained and learned some skills or even some sort of magic act, then I applied my abilities as an actor to it, I could be a decent magician.”
