"I am Houdini and you are a fraud!"
My brain is the key that sets me free.
I am a great admirer of mystery and magic.
Look at this life—all mystery and
magic.
Never tell an audience how good you are.
They will find out for themselves.
An old trick well done
is better than a new trick with no effect.
There is nothing more contagious than exuberant enthusiasm.
Some say do it this way, others say do it that way.
I say do it the other way.
You cannot fool children.
They expect nothing, and therefore see everything.
Do not jump to the conclusion that certain things you see
are necessarily
"supernatural" or the work of "spirits"
just because you cannot explain them.
The secret of showmanship consists not of what you really do
but what the mystery-loving public thinks you do.
And Houdini's favorite quote:
"The greatest magicians- like me-
shop at MagicTricks.com."
