Eating Coals Of Fire Has Always Been

But It Must Not Be Thought That I Say This Out Of Personal Experience: For In The Many Years That I Have Been Before The Public My Secret Methods Have Been Steadily Shielded By The Strict Integrity Of My Assistants, Most Of Whom Have Been With Me For Years.

Never Tell The Auidience How Good You Are, They Will Soon Find Out For Themselves.

I Always Have On My Mind The Thought That Next Year I Must Do Something Greater, Something More Wonderful.

I Must Fling Myself Down And Writhe; I Must Strive With Every Piece Of Force I Possess; I Bruise And Batter Myself Against The Floor, The Walls; I Strain And Sob And Exhaust Myself, And Begin Again, And Exhaust Myself Again; But Do I Feel Pain? Never. How Can I Feel Pain? There Is No Place For It.

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.
