I really don't believe in magic.

Magic is something that happens that appears to be impossible. What I call 'illusion magic' uses laws of science and nature that are already known. Real magic uses laws that haven't yet been discovered.

Belief in the absence of illusions is itself an illusion.

I like illusion when it is so convincing that we might as well see reality this way - I like to present to our belief system something that is convincing, that 'we know not to be.'

I have always believed in magic. I used to run into the woods as a little kid looking for witches. But I'm not superstitious, because I m not afraid of it. I see it as something really beautiful, and I wouldn't want to live in a world without magic.

I am an illusionist. That's why I create art.

I believe that misconceptions about oneself that one does not correct where possible act as a bad magic.

Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.

After being in Harry Potter, I believe a bit more in magic than I did before.
