Errat et illinc huc venit, hinc illusion quoslibet occupat artus spiritus eque feris h uman in corpora transit

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

"Each of us lives, dependent, and bound by our individual knowledge and our awareness. All that is what we call 'reality'. However, both knowledge and awareness are equivocal. One’s reality might be another’s illusion. We all live inside our own fantasies."

This doesn't quite fit, as it's not magicians, but your quote reminded me of this bit early on in "The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy," Ford Prefect has just purchased six pints of beer, and is trying to explain the situation to Arthur Dent;

FORD: Drink up, you have three pints to get through.

ARTHUR: Three pints? At lunchtime?

FORD: Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.

ARTHUR: Very deep, you should write Reader's Digest. They have a page for people like you.

FORD: Drink up, the world's about to end.

Houdini had some good ones...

No performer should attempt to bite off red-hot iron unless he has a good set of teeth.

What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.

Magic is the sole science not accepted by scientists, because they can't understand it.
