Hi there
I'm based in Brill, Bucks (nearish to Thame and Oxford). I guess I'm an eager newcomer. I work in data visualisation - making charts that people can understand. I got turned on to magic after reading Sleighs Of Hand and realising that the skills in magic (misdirection, patter, psychology) are also at play in data viz. The difference being that they are used for opposite reasons: in magic, it's to entertain and astound. In data, it's about maximising understanding.
I was hooked ever since.
Card magic is my focus - I like the honesty of a deck of cards and that everything has to be done with sleights and misdirection rather than gimmicks.
I'm looking forward to being a member!
