Magic is like special effects live, and I love to perform, so it sounded like doing magic tricks were a good way to entertain people.

So, when the special effects are at the service of the story and draw you into it, that is really the magic.

The real secret of magic lies in the performance.

So many plays with magic in them that would be a terrific invitation to an imaginative animation team.

Magic is the Special Olympics of entertainment.

I think that all the talented filmmakers sort of share, I think, a sense of allowing magic to happen; of creating a stable and secure environment for performers to feel they can push to the end of their ability.

There are performers who have built their whole career doing magic on TV and can't really perform live at all - don't really have jobs and skills.

Movie magic is movie magic and acting magic is acting magic.

Magic in cinema is a bit like ventriloquism on the radio.
