Thanks for the Welcome guys, sorry I didn't elaborate a little more about myself.
I am fifteen years old, and I live in Southern California (USA). I actually just met a friend yesterday who knew quite a bit about magic, and claims he has thousands of dollars worth of materials and tricks at home, so I am quite excited about that. Right now, I was working from a few tricks a friend let me borrow, it is quite challenging and is giving my figures everything I can handle.
As I stated previously, I am really into card manipulation and card magic. I am doing my best trying to learn card riffs, breaks, false shuffles, all that good stuff. I am interested in cheat dealing, moreso as a trick I can show off to my friends. Although I do have to say, magic has an interesting way to draw people to you, and completely blow their minds, so I am sure that I will be delving into both worlds of the art.
For now, I purchased Royal Road to Card Magic, and am hoping to progress in that as much as possible as quickly as possible. I see there are a lot of different forums, could one of you point me to the main one? One where I could ask questions or advice, or just join a good, meaty conversation?
