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.

I like to say magic is the world's second oldest profession, a mystical and often awe-inspiring spectacle that, throughout the ages, has blended superstition, trickery and religion.

Magic is the oldest part of the show business profession. It can now be used as a forward-thinking tool to build a child's confidence. It has been an amazing part in many entertainers' lives, including Steve Martin and the late Johnny Carson.

The real secret of magic lies in the performance.

In circuses, there is a lot of magic. Things become other things.

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

Magic is really performing special effects live.

The world is its own magic.

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

I think there's a huge amount of magic on television, which is slightly vapid: there's no real meaning or message behind it; it is simply a trick.
