Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum but it looks like a friendly place to be so I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm 37 now, but I started doing magic at an early age, then for whatever reason other hobbies took over and I lost my way with magic.
I grew up going to the Blackpool Convention every year and specialised in cards, close-up and manipulation (after being amazed by Lance Burton). I've recently picked up the bicycle cards again and am enjoying it more than ever. I'm currently studying Dai Vernons books and plenty of routines on DVDs including Bill Malone, Daryl and Michael Ammar...
I'd like to learn more about the business side of magic as I'm not ruling out a career change in the future, so any advice on that side of things would be appreciated. I'll look forward to chatting to you in the forums...!
