Hey everyone,
I'm Chris I'm 24 years old and I have been preforming magic for 16 years. Now of course I wasn't preforming in vegas or anything like that when I was eight. I was merely understanding the concepts of misdirection and presentation at that time. I started in with my step-dad showing me the french drop. After that he would watch me do my latest trick I learned from a book at the library. He would critique me and tell me how to make it better. Then when I was sixteen I move to Arizona where I went to a local magicshop daily. I met many magicians who loved to hang out at the shop as well. There was a table in the back room and there where always people back there, but one day there was just one magician whom I had seen before but never talked to. Well, he called me back to the table and said I've seen you in here alot show me a trick. I was 1/4 his age and pretty nervous but that one trick led to him tutoring me for free! He said that he would retire soon and to contribute to the magic realm one last time he would help me get on my feet. He even got me a gig at octoberfest. I was just there to attract attention for the main event and also to collect money for muscular distrophy that people would donate. After that I did a few birthday parties but basically fell of the map. I joined the army and bought some tricks here and there and got really good at tricks I knew already. Well, now I buy tricks all the time and I've probably forgotten more tricks than some people know but, I'm still here world, perfecting. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me, I am glad to answer even then wierdest questions.
Magically yours, Chris
