My name is quite apt; I have no distinct style of magic.
I am open to all forms of the art but have more respect for men whom practice.
I was introduced to magic at a young age.
I grew up with a deck of cards, honing skills, naive to the mainstream gimmick society.
The internet is a great resource;
I have followed these forums for several months now, impressed by the sheer numbers and pleased to see a unification of brilliant ideas.
These forums delve more slightly on the gimmick side of magic.
With the likes of David Blaine, Derren Brown and Chris Angel etcetera; the layman is becoming more accepting of magic, its cool as they say.
I dislike the aspect that brings in the young immature whom don't understand what it is to buy a gimmick, the ellusionists... Pray another story, a rant ill end now. But I have much respect for those who put in the hours and understand in long term gain.
I have purchased a lot of material over the years. I prefer a good book but I have appreciation of gaffs and will openly admit to dally in them.
I intend now to contribute to these forums and share my own ideas and opinions. Hopefully I will give resource as such as I have greatly received.
