From The Very Beginning, I Studied Acting, Directing, Lighting, Dance And Movement. I Didn't Rely On Just The Magic To Take Place. It's A Shame That A Lot Of Magicians Just Rely On The Trick Itself And They Have No Other Abilities. They Get Away With The Wonder Factor, And I Don't Think That's Enough. It's Great, But It's Not Enough.

I Was 16 At The Time, And I Came Backstage And Started Hanging Out With Them. I Said, "well, Maybe You Can 'vanish' The Silk This Way." The Opening Was A Black Stage While The "magic To Do" Song Started Playing.

The Spotlight Would Hit A Red Spot On The Floor Where You'd See The Silk On The Floor. He'd Pull The Silk Out Of The Floor And It Became The Entire Set Coming Out Of The Floor.
