Quotations:

“..it was really a crazy learning curve for social media because it is not the same in person. You have to do more visual, sometimes very gimmicky stuff for people to actually watch the video.” - Adam Wylie

“So, if any of you out there are producers and you’re looking for content that is scripted, that’s amazing and hysterically funny. Hit me up!” - Adam Wylie

“When I do magic, I don’t think as like a magician I think like an actor.” - Adam Wylie

“You know, a lot of people hire magicians and I gotta say, what you pay for is what you get. And you don’t really notice it until you see somebody of a different level, right?” - Adam Wylie
