But It Must Not Be Thought That

The Greatest Escape I Ever Made Was When I Left Appleton, Wisconsin.

Pickpockets Either Work Alone Or In Pairs, Or What Is Called A Mob.

I Knew, As Everyone Knows, That The Easiest Way To Attract A Crowd Is To Let It Be Known That At A Given Time And A Given Place Some One Is Going To Attempt Something That In The Event Of Failure Will Mean Sudden Death. That's What Attracts Us To The Man Who Paints The Flagstaff On The Tall Building, Or To The 'human Fly' Who Scales The Walls Of The Same Building.

The Secret Of Showmanship Consists Not Of What You Really Do, But What The Mystery-loving Public Thinks You Do.

My Chief Task Has Been To Conquer Fear. The Public Sees Only The Thrill Of The Accomplished Trick; They Have No Conception Of The Tortuous Preliminary Self-training That Was Necessary To Conquer Fear.
