{"quotes":[{"text":"It is the illusion of magic and the magic of illusion that we are primarily interested in- not the privy tricks or the key to the secrets themselves. We seek the bafflement, the contradictions, the amusements, and the innumerable emotions that ripple uneasily through the audience. It is not knowledge we are after, but mystery and disguises. We want to gaze at the impossible. We are hungry for surprises, astonishment. In short, we are looking for a true story, but one impossible to explain in all its complexity. When we discover that story, we shall have found- magic.","author":"Edward Claflin","tags":["conjuring","illusion","magic","stage-magic","street-magic"],"id":14059,"author_id":"Edward+Claflin"},{"text":"A magician must always value his magic effects more than himself, because after few years audience may not remember his name but they will remember his magic effect.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["applause","conjurer","conjuring","illusion","illusionists","magic","magician","magicians","mentalism","mentalist","wizard","wizardry","wizards"],"id":57668,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"Magic is the stunning art of surprising your audience, so that nothing else surprises them.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["applause","art","artist","artistic","artists","conjurer","conjuring","illusion","illusionists","magic","magician","magicians","mentalism","mentalist","surprise","surprises","wizard","wizardry","wizards"],"id":58199,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"The genius of a great magician is as impressive as the genius of a great scientist.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["applause","conjurer","conjuring","genius","geniuses","illusion","illusionists","magic","magician","magicians","mentalism","mentalist","scientist","scientists","wizard","wizards"],"id":84335,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"Any impossibility turned into a possibility is magic.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["advertising","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri-writer","art-of-magic","conjuring","impossibility","inspirational","knowledge","magic","magic","magician","magician-amit-kalantri","motivational","odds","philosophy","possibility","probability","success","tagline","wisdom"],"id":85739,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"Magicians and Mentalist predict the future because they create it.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["conjurar","conjuring","magic","magical","magician","magicians","mentalism","mentalist","stories","story","storyteller","storytellers","storytelling"],"id":108736,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"A magician reveals himself not only by the magic he presents but also by the respect and entertainment he gives to his audience.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["applause","conjurer","conjuring","entertainment","illusion","illusionists","magic","magician","magicians","mentalism","mentalist","respect","wizard","wizardry","wizards"],"id":135461,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"A great piece of music make people to close their eyes but a great magic effect make their eyes wide open.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["applause","art","artist","artistic","artists","conjurer","conjuring","illusion","illusionists","magic","magician","magicians","mentalism","mentalist","music","surprise","surprises","wizard","wizardry","wizards"],"id":145367,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"Magic is the most interesting art because people not necessarily want to learn to paint after they see a great painting, but they want to learn magic after they see a great magic effect.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["conjurar","conjuring","magic","magical","magician","magicians","stories","story","storyteller","storytellers","storytelling"],"id":158200,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"First rate magician perform first rate magic effects, second rate magician performs third rate magic effects.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["conjurar","conjuring","magic","magical","magician","magicians","stories","story","storyteller","storytellers","storytelling"],"id":169095,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":26,"pages":3,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
