Greetings International

Hello.
My name is Patrick Differ. I am a US citizen currently living in Guadalajara, Mexico. I am an English teacher, a hotel operator, and a magician.
I have been doing magic tricks for most of my life. I started when I was 10 years old with an Adam's Chest of Magic set I got for Christmas waaay back in '73.
I believe that simple is good and I work towards keeping my presentations and effects clear and complete. While many card sleights are fun to do and know, I like to fool people and be fooled myself. I don't want to know everything.
I learned magic by reading books. This dates back to the pre-CD and DVD times when all we had were books and each other. I buy videos as an absolute last resort when I just can't get my head around what I'm reading.
With that, I look forward to discussing many aspects with you all.

Welcome. I was performing all summer in Mexico last year at the various resort hotels. Bloody hot there.

Bloody hot and bloody humid. But really good food.

Thanks, y'all.
