Hi everyone

I'm a beginner just starting out in southampton. I am a semi professional manipulator of Balls, staffs and other fiery props who as I get older want to move into something more sedate and less painfull on the back and doesn't involve carrying a small carload of equipment. I've always loved magic and have some basic card sleights and am just moving into coins.

Any advice recommendations for my area for resources for learning / meeting would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there! This is definately the place to be for advice although sadly the forums seem quiet today. For coin magic I would check out modern coin magic by j.b bobo although you might want to check the reviews as I havnt bought a copy yet. Hope I helped.

Thanks - J.B Bobo is on my "to get" list I am have started out with Jay Sankeys revolutionary coin magic and was disappointed by the lack of speech the visual explanations are good but I like a good verbal one to go with it helps explain the workings a little better.

yeah I like having clear pictures when Im learning new card sleights because words like phalunx confuse me.

Hello and welcome.

The 4-disc DVD of Bobo is well worth getting to accompany the book.

Welcome.
Reading between the lines don't be in a hurry to ditch the juggling. A billiard ball,or even a sponge ball routine, with a few juggling moves included can greatly add to the entertainment value. Hard won skills should not be discarded.

I couldn't ever "ditch" juggling. it's so much a part of everything I do now. I used to work in a cocktail bar too so when washing up I flick all the plastic cups off the drainer catching them in the previous cup until I have a nice stack. I'm dangerous in a kitchen as I'm always tossing knives spoons and forks about and catching them behind the head or back too.

I would love to work some good sleights in with some tricky juggles or possibly as a reveal with a card printed on or in a ball or club.
