A real magician doesn't lie when he says he's a magician. Whether you're truly a magician is something you have to feel. Sell yourself as who you want to be. Not as someone you think you have to be.
Dr. Knut Knackstedt

Much of the routines described in this book are what would be called “bizarre magic” in magic circles.

Therefore, because there is no room for a "magician" in our circles, Knut Knackstedt will probably also be called a bizarre artist, just as I was. He should be proud of that, for there are only a few who dare to tackle this subject and then bring it across convincingly. Borodin (in his foreword).
