Helloo

I am a 19 year old student (english literature) from the UK and just recently took up magic. I've always found it fascinating and as a kid had those 'Marvin Magic' sets. However, I've always gone back and forth between hobbies alot and magic got left at the wayside.

Now, though, I really feel it sticking. I've never taken to something like I have to magic in the past few months and have been practising and learning obsessively. Working through the 'Royal Road to Card Magic' and other books such as 'Card College' and 'Modern Coin Magic'.

I'm a big fan of Michael Vincent (just got his first volume today, fantastic), Ricky Jay, Derren Brown and more I won't bore you with. I'm hoping to expand my knowledge on this forum and connect with other magicians. I'll look forward to it. :D

Hi Froggy.
Welcome to T/M.Very good choice of material you have.
Still a long way to go to become as good as Michael though,should take you at least 3 months (yeh right)
Hope you enjoy yourself on here,should be able to pick up lots of tips.
Good luck with your new found hobby.
