The secret behind the success is two major thing, focus and consistence.
Our magician has remain focus over the past few years in trying to achieve his feat. He believe in himself that the potential lies in him and that no matter the times of failure a minute of success will overcome it.
Consistence his a key, keep doing the same thing over and over again then you will see that in no time you become a master of your doing. Not all successful people becomes successful on a trial or over night but they keep on pursuing and pushing their goal in other to proof a point of success.

This analogy should be applicable to us, our magician might not be using juju or magic but might have train his mind, soul and hand into achieving this feat

The man that says he can't will never be able to achieve.
