i have just one question:
we've read that your shows in NewYork are always sold out... and my question is why....?
i don't think that the people who visit the show know you...maybe some of them but not all of them...
is the reason for that that people like magic or is there a different reason for that...?

2. What do you think about edited TV magic with camera tricks?
3. Do you think too much people know magic, or too few people can carry on this art, or neither?
sorry for the bad English
 
1. What, if anything, inspired you to pursue a processional career in magic, instead of just performing as a hobby.

3. How did you become involved with this new TV series. Was it an idea you had, or an idea proposed to you? If so, how did you make your idea come to fruition, or who proposed to you the idea?
