THE MAGIC BUG: When I was 6, my dad’s cousin Steve would do simple little tricks for me. He would French Drop anything that was around, and I just fell in love with magic. I was at the library all the time, and I would go and get every magic book they had and tore through those. That was where the seed got planted. I’ve chased it in some form or another ever since.
