Appropriate introduction...Round two.

Hello to you all.

I thought I would join this forum for a few reasons, one of which is curiosity about what you do, and the other because I have an interest in what you do. I myself am not involved with magic, but please do not let this statement create barriers. I am thirty five years old, as indicated, and my only knowledge of magic came through performers such as Paul Daniels at a very young age. My interest was recently stirred by the performer Derren Brown, and I have seen some of David Blaine's work, but other than this I know very little.

A couple of years ago I was working toward a Degree in Mental Health Nursing, but this is no more, left in my second year. I have since succumbed to a nine to five within a small family business, and spend much of my time in artistic endevours. I hope to learn something about what Magic is, to be intrigued, and maybe inspired.

Welcome

I hope that you find what you wnat here - although I do recommend that you read the stickies.

Whilst all are welcome, most newcommers fall foul of the membership when they start asking for secrets. You have been open about your intentions here and have resisted the usual temptation on your opening post.

So far a good start. :lol:

Hi and welcome to TM :wink:

I see you live in Manchester - them were the days: 1984 - 1987 when I was at Manchester Uni :shock:

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 ??

Eeeek - all of a sudden I feel soooooo old :cry:

You've gotta remember it's not how old you are, it's how old you feel and act. I'm sure I'm still 21 :shock:
