Popular Dialogues

"James Randi: Magicians are the most honest people in the world. They tell you they're going to fool you, and then they do it."

"Uri Geller: In entertainment there is a kind of acceptability to deceive, its like when there two Picasso paintings on the wall, one is a fake and the other one is real, but they look the same. There is no harm in that. At the end of the day, there is nothing to reveal, because of what I do is real."
