「對於一些表演者模仿我的魔術表演，事實上我一點也不介意。的確，我所表演的魔術不難模仿，但是「佛蘭‧卡普斯」卻是任何人也模仿不了的。」

Fred Kaps (1926-1980

單純容易瞭解的效果才能讓觀眾產生「這也許是真的魔法！」的感覺。這是對魔術師來說非常重要的關鍵。」

Paul Le Paul (1900-1958)

「既然沒有被追趕，那又何必逃走。」

Al Baker (1874-1951)

「再多的辯解也沒用。」

松田道弘(1935-)

Be natural. What I mean by this is "be yourself.")

Dai Vernon (1894-1992)

我賣給買家的，不是魔術。而是「我」。我賣的是我本身的形象，而你就是魔術。

Albert Goshman

若是有人要求你表演魔術，記得只表演一個就好了。而且結束之後立刻就停止。

好魔術，只表演一個，你會得到很大的迴響。若是兩個、三個這樣表演下去，你的觀眾就看飽看足了。所以，總是在觀眾期待下一個魔術時停止表演，是非常重要的。

Tips from professional card handlers                                 by   Michael Ammar

• Never shuffle a deck while it's still in your pocket.
          不要常常沒事就一直洗牌  
          (it's still in your pocket--應該是說當你很常拿著牌)
  
• If your audience looks like this, you've done too many card tricks
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^

• A flourish does not a performance make.
  
• Never expect to make up your presentation on the spur of the moment.
  
• Don't describe what they can see for themselves.
         不用描述觀眾自己能了解的部份，例如我現在把牌洗一洗......
  
• Always set the deck down whenever possible and focus on the audience.
  
• Some people just aren't in the mood to watch card magic.
  
• Always know exactly what you are going to do.
  
• Never admit to a mistake when you can act like it's part of the show.
  
• Don't continually riffle the ends or over shuffle the deck.
