There are many inspiring quotations involving magic or stated by famous magicians, but I haven't been able to find a good collection of them. I hope many of you can contribute to this list so we can assemble a nice collection.
Here is the first one: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke Two more: God is a scientist, not a magician. Albert Einstein A work of art is one of mystery, the one extreme magic; everything else is either arithmetic or biology. Truman Capote |

"Card tells."
Tenkai I don't know if this two words expression is appropiate translation for Tenkai's words spoken in Japanese. I try to explain what he meant. It means that sometimes playing card tells some ideas to us. Tenkai advised us to handle many materials when you want to get inspirations for creating magic. Dr.Sawa extended this concept and he once made a list of as many materials as he could list up, and he sorted their characters. Hideo Kato |

Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic. Thomas Szasz Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business. Tom Robbins A magician pulls rabbits out of hats. An experimental psychologist pulls habits out of rats. Anonymous There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry.
