“I've said it's a little bit like a magician performing for a convention of magicians... all the magicians in the audience watching this illusion-Do they see the illusion, or do they see the device that made the illusion? Probably they see a little of both.”

Charles Fort
“I don't think it takes a magician to see that that is just a total off-the-mark nonsensical approach to look at such an event (Cricket World Cup) solely in terms of the gate receipts. It has far broader implications.”
