Magic Quotes 3 years 1 month ago #4232

I thought it would be fun and informative to have a thread where we can all add our favourite quotes about magic or by magicians, and discuss them. So post your favourite magic quotes here.
Here are a few that I like:

"A magician is an actor playing the part of a magician." - Robert Houdin

"The expert magician seeks to deceive the mind, rather than the eye." - Sol Stein

"The real secret of magic lies in the performance" - David Copperfield

and a classic from David Copperfield, that isn't quite about magic:

“No self-respecting gay guy would have ever made some of the hair and clothing choices I am still trying to live down.”
