Newbie saying hi!

Postby misdirected » Nov 9th, '06, 16:15



Hello all i thought id introduce my self after browsing for a while.

im 21 and live in the west midlands, England.

i have a great love for magic but have only recently 'got back into it' but it has always been something i have enjoyed. I started as a teenager in school along with a great friend of mine who has just gone 'pro'( working on cruise ship performing close-up) :) and this has given me the incentive to reteach my self the art as i put my cards in a drawer for too long and miss them. i love to entertain and miss showing the odd illusion but am only after (at the moment) keeping it as a hobbie.

but after a few years of my cards collecting dust ( why did i stop i am a fool) i wish to reteach my self and hope i can be helped or help others in any way possible.
:D

i enjoy close-up more than anything and love cards although i am eager to learn other things., such as cups and balls, rubber bands and sponge balls.

i hope this was not too long but i like people to know who they are talking to!

happy entertaining

your friend misdirected :D
