“What has been withheld by nature may to a great extent be supplied by training.”
Nevil Maskelyne, Our Magic: The Art and Theory in Magic

“If, in order to understand precisely what has happened, the spectators have to reflect, even for a few moments, upon the various stages of procedure which led up to the denouement, it is certain that, from an artistic point of view, the presentation must be unsatisfactory.”
Nevil Maskelyne, Our Magic: The Art and Theory in Magic

“As grammar is to literature, or versification to poetry, so are sleights and fakes to magic. Such things are the means, not the end of art.”
Nevil Maskelyne, Our Magic: The Art and Theory in Magic
