Jerry Andrus quotes
-
“Magic is something that seems like it goes against how the world works and its us magicians job to be doing that.”
-- Jerry Andrus -
“I can fool you because you're a human. You have a wonderful human mind that works no different from my human mind. Usually when we're fooled, the mind hasn't made a mistake. It's come to the wrong conclusion for the right reason.”
-- Jerry Andrus -
“We see things based on autopilot. Our mind identifies something in a certain way, no matter what the eye sees. The eye tells you one thing and the brain tells you another.”
-- Jerry Andrus -
“If I don't fool you, I'm not doing my job as a magician. If I make you feel foolish, I'm not doing my job as a human being.”
-- Jerry Andrus -
