Hi everyone!

Hi, I'm Rachel (surprisingly enough), search engines keep picking me up and plonking me back down on this site, so I thought I'd register rather than lurk.

I'm 21, I studied English Language, mainly Psycholinguistics modules at university (eek, just realised how pompous that sounds, I did quite badly which makes it all alright), which got me interested in cold reading, then mentalism. Replicating a trick I'd read about to a friend sparked the urge to learn more coin and card tricks, I had no idea that seeing a dumbfounded face could be so much fun! :lol:

I'm a complete noob, basically back to same stage I was at when I used to receive a magic trick in my Christmas stocking every year.
I've been making my way through Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic, I'll be reading the very useful review sections on where to go next.

That's enough of my life story anyway, I look forward to chatting with you all if I haven't lulled you into a coma with my boring introductory post! :)

Hi Rachel - welcome to the forum. As your first feat of cold reading and magic mentalism...

What colour am I thinking of?

Haha, it would be a bit of an anti-climax if it was. :lol:
Thanks a lot FairieSnuff!

Ahh, the old mauve trick eh? At least it wasn't 'taupe'. :lol:

The one after that would probably be, 'What am I wearing?' :D

Hiya Rachel, welcome to TM :D

Ignor all the horrible, leering boys. A swift kick is usually enough to get rid of them. Mark Wilson's Complete Course is a great place to start, have fun here and with your magic :D
