The genius of a great magician is as impressive as the genius of a great scientist.

Magicians made magic but critics made it tricks.

Magic is a lie, but magician need not be a liar.

Those who failed in the art of magic thought they lacked good props, what they really lacked was good practice.

A skilled magician cannot fool other skilled magicians with moves, but he can certainly fool them with mathematics.

A magician reveals himself not only by the magic he presents but also by the respect and entertainment he gives to his audience.

Extraordinary magic first gets gasp and then applause, ordinary magic only gets applause.

An amateur magician with affection is more delightful to watch than an expert magician with arrogance.

Professional magic isn't performed to fool them, it is performed to please them.
