It's no surprise that Paul Daniels sparkled my interest too. I had a couple of magic sets as a kid but never really moved on from that, I enjoyed them and performed them for family but didn't really move outside the family and kind of kept it as my own in house entertainment i guess. Then about 20 some years ago a trick shop on the pier in Skegness (my home town) started having a few things that i simply couldn't believe and i was hooked. I remember the demonstrator using Eddie Gibson Coin Unique, Cig through coin and colour changing chips etc. Anyhoo bought them and lost them over time. Woke up with a bad hang over one morning and no Coin Unique
Life took over and every few years my interest was rekindled then earlier this year decided to learn some skills with coins and more recently cards so i would always have some magic and not have to rely on gaffs or gimmics. So been busy with Royal Road and Bobo and a selection of dvds.
