A quick introduction

Gloucester, UK (WP,30)

Hi my name is ****** ***** not from the Halifax ad!! work it out!

I got into magic whilst at home nursing a smashed elbow, watching a street magician do the ambitious card on TV.

10 minuets later I was walking to the library and booking out a card trick book"

So here I am nearly eight years later a semi-working professional close up magician and pickpocket.

Here's my stats

Name: Shared with the guy of the Halifax ad
Age: 30
Address: Tuffley, Gloucester
Occupation: IT analyst / pickpocket / close-up magician
Pets: Not ones you can stroke. I keep tropical fish
Favourite trick: anything using a p**k device i.e. stealth assassin
I also love Kenton kneppers kolossal killer.
At the moment I am using third degree burn all the time,
and Andy Nyman's killer elite pro.
I also love my slippery Sam

Favourite sleights: The invisible pass, slop shuffle and pitch and ditch.

The real reason I have joined these boards is that I've become bored with the art and I have found that my performance has lost its sparkle. :(
I have put this down to me working in the safe zone when I perform! Just doing things I feel comfortable with.

Basically I've come to these boards to gain inspiration and hopefully pass on some of my knowledge to anyone who wants it. :P

Cheers :D

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 ??

Welcome......I think we can all relate to the "comfort zone" idea from time to time!

Hello Mr. Halifax and welcome to TM.
I'm sure you will get a lot of inspiration from around here, both from local magicians and hopefully also from us living in other countries and don't know a zip about Halifax. :)
Best greetings from Iceland!
