When I was in college, being a magician was not the classiest thing to be. It was like being a folk singer before Bob Dylan.
If I produce a 450-pound Bengal tiger, it's going to create a lot more wonder than if I produce a rabbit.
The reason I can give wonder is that I feel wonder about the world: the stars, a tree, my body - everything. 
The art of a magician is to create wonder. If we live with a sense of wonder, our lives become filled with joy.
The hard must become habit. The habit must become easy. The easy must become beautiful.
