"You can look at a book. You can read it. You can hope to understand
what the principles are... but, to not see the creator perform it, there is something
missing, until you have the opportunity to see the master perform. And then,
you say to yourself 'Oh'! I understand something now,' something that you can't
interpret or get from a book."
- Jim Cellini -
"What I adored about Slydini was not his ability to deceive people,
but rather the magical feeling that he generated in people."
- Bill Brunelle -
"The Slydini magic, I loved. The Slydini philosophy - I thought was
in a class by itself. That's where I got a special thrill!"
