On being a "blerd," a black nerd
For me it's just kind of who I am. I grew up doing magic tricks, but I also played sports. I'm still a magician. I'm a member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, which I'm very proud of. ... I always have my cards with me. I'm always practicing. I'm always doing tricks, and that's kind of the nerdiest thing that I do — like I'm a space nerd. I love anything about space. If we're going to Mars, I'll have to stop everything and just talk about that all the time.
