Harry Houdini Quotations

I'm tired of fighting.

Anyone who believes in magic is a fool.

I am not an irretrievable skeptic. I am not hopelessly prejudiced. I am perfectly willing to believe, and my mind is wide open; but I have, as yet, to be convinced. I am perfectly willing, but the evidence must be sane and conclusive.

The great trouble with magicians is the fact that they believe when they have bought a certain trick or piece of apparatus, and know the method of procedure, that they are full-fledged mystifiers.

Only one man ever betrayed my confidence, and that only in a minor matter.

It is still an open question, however, as to what extent exposure really injures a performer.

Look at this life - all mystery and magic.

Pickpockets either work alone or in pairs, or what is called a mob.

My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion...

They do tricks even I can't figure out.
