Hey guys,

My name is Calaith, or Cal for short. At the younger age of 18 I have just decided to take up magic, for several reasons. Firstly it is a performing art, and I am trying to move into a professional field of performing art as a career. Magic isn't really what I had in mind, I'm currently training as an actor, but it is just another aspect and art of performance I thoroughly enjoy.

Secondly because I have always had a certain fascination with the supernatural and impossible, as would be evident in my short stories and other writings. Also, a lot of my friends are all very 'science minded' people, unable to accept anything outside of what they can physically see or know or prove. This frustrates me endlessly, and magic is a sort of ... escape from the caging ideas of 'reality'? In short, I love to amaze people.

Finally, its creative and its fun. And it can have so many applications, other than entertainment.

I currently 'specialise' (if you want to use that term) in card magic. I suppose that isn't saying much seeming most tricks I know are self working, but what I work on are ways of stringing several tricks together in an attempt make it seem even more impossible. I also do a bit of close up magic though, and am honestly interested in learning more and developing myself as a magician and performer.

So thats my reason for being here and my greetings. Hope to talk to you guys across the forums.

Thanks,
Cal

Welcome to Talkmagic Cal, I hope you find what you're looking for here :)

Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash, and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!
