Greetings fellow conjurers
As this is the third forum I have joined, I have cut and paste my intro from another:
After watching from the sidelines, I caught the magic bug and over the last 9 months it has spread to the point of obsession. Similarly, I've found magic forums such as MB to be more addictive than Ebay and Facebook, and after poring over the content in no apparent order other than an ad hoc clicking style much in the same vein as someone beginning to develop symptoms of magic Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, I thought I'd give a laconic introduction.
Whilst my interest in magic was previously casual (growing up watching bits of street magic on TV), it was only really when I saw 2 of my mates perform sleight of hand that I stood up and took notice. From the perspective of a layman, I was fascinated and truly amzed at the effects I saw. Further, being a guitarist of 12 years (I should clarify that I've been playing for 12 years, and am not in fact a 12 year old, but rather 24) and a (bedroom, with the occasional stint in public) DJ for 4, I see magic as another outlet for my fingers and disposition towards exhibitionism.
Technically I consider myself fairly fluent when I'm practising at home in front of the TV on the sofa, but I physically shake when performing for friends (although I view myself as being a relatively confident persona), although I am told that this will resolve after experience.
So, just thought I'd say hi as I make the journey on the royal road to card magic.
