Hey there,
My name is Josh, I'm 19 years old, from London, and am new to magic. I went to International Magic Shop near Chancery lane the other day and bought a few things, some being a few self working tricks, but I also said that I didn't only want a quick fix, but to learn as well, so I was advised to buy David Jones Commercial Close-Up Magic disc 1 and 2. So far it's all going well, though I have to admit, I'm finding the tricks which involve sleight of hand difficult, like the sponge ball routine, I find it so difficult to make it look like I'm passing the ball into the other hand. But I guess it doesn't come quickly, hopefully it'll come after a lot of practice.
Anyway, I'm certainly looking forward to more trips to International Magic Shop, and I hope you contribute a lot to here about my progress and giving input.
