hey guys,

Im Henk and im from the small country know as the Netherlands 8)
im 20 years old and studying to become a teacher..
my interest in magic started one a 7 year old boy showed me a card trick I couldn't figure out..
I've known the simple math-cardtricks, but the trick he did was inpossible in my opinion.. I really wanted to know what happened, and how he did it, but he was a good magician and said he had to keep the it a secret.. which I respected.. so I googled the answer :wink:
I found a few nice tricks.. and learned to do them.. and I was really proud of myself.. untill I stumbled upon "Mr Rune Carlsen Video's" I was so impressed and again couldn't figure out his tricks, but that was because they were designed to not be able to figure them out..

that was about 3 weeks ago, since than I bought myself a cheap deck..
one day later, and 15 bent cards later, I decided if I really learn some stuff, I need a better deck..
So I ordered some decks from Ellusionist.com since we dont have those cards here, and since the US is far away.. im still waiting anxiously on those cards.. but they should arrive soon :D

anyway, to keep the file size down :wink:
I learned some tricks here and their.. and found out about the existance of sleight of hand :oops:
and other special enlighting facts..

and now its the time for me, to keep repeating all I learned.. so I can perform it flawless.. but this is hard for me.. since I can be a little inpatienced.. but itll work out!

I've been reading these forums for the last 2 weeks and decided to join!
so here I am.. nice to meet ya'll!
I've gotten to read alot about you guys..
so time to give somethin back..

this is me :wink:

Hi and welcome to TM :wink:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Hello Henk,

Welcome to the site, you will not get any sectrets from here but we are a friendly bunch on the whole. I have been to Holland twice it is a lovely place. So you are interested in slight of hand style magic! Do you like coin magic or do you prefere cards?

I know about the non-secret sharing..
thats why I ordered the Ninja1 dvd.. they say it explains some nice sleight of hand stuff.. anyway.. it takes while.. cause I do mailorder.. and that needs to go all the way over there..

im fairly new to the different kinds of magic..
but I saw some fun stuff all over the place..

these are the things i like.. i havent decided on one thing to focus on.. even though it probably will be Cardmagic.. since I like the fact to do inpromtu stuff.. and ungimmid stuff..

mentalist: I like the bending spoon trick
Coins: I like the Raven trick
Cards: I like it all 8)
levitation: hmm not so much
street magic: sounds and looks like cewl stuff

thats pretty much my interests in magic..
but for now im starting with only cards..

cuz a few weeks ago, i wanted to start with 10 things at once..
and that just overwhelmed me.. a practiced every trick for about 5 min.. and when I didnt work right away, i skipped to a new one..

but now im gonna focus on one thing.. so..
Ill try and post my first "amateur card-magic video" soon..
and comments will be most welcome ;)
