Hi everyone.

I'm really new to magic. cept a few simple card tricks and thumb tricks.

latly I have been in to close up magic stuff that warps reality for my audance.

My Girl friend and I like to go to a lot of music concerts and I like to just mess with pepeols heads and find concert grounds are a great place to find ones willing to have there minds blown away, I call it "lot magic".

Welcome to TM, Are you into Glassblowing? i took a course in glass, not for me.

Did you take a course in furnace glass? Or lampwoking glass with a torch?

I have been a lamp worker I mainly only work in Pyrex type glass on a torch using tubing and rod. I have been doing that for the last 9 years or so. But over the last few years I have had a few pcs of Glass working equipment and make some custom jewelers equipment that I make. ( I have also been in to silver smithing and casting for almost 20 years or so.) Lately the tool/ equipment end of things has been taking most of my glass blowing time away and am starting to have a lot less time to actually blow glass.
But instead now I make the things that others use to blow glass. So I guess its 6 to 1, 1/2 dozen to another.

But lately I have gotten the Magic bug in me. So the torch may start missing me even more now.
I have always liked illusion and any magic tricks I knew were a few my dad had revealed to me. LOL he would always call them "old Hindu tricks" But I was thinking about that and some other rope or chain tricks That He taught me So I went on the internet to see if there where some newer Hindu tricks to be found.
And I ended up seeing a video of Chris Angel doing one of the very first rope tricks my dad showed me when I was in 1'st grade. only he did it with a chain instead of rope.
That sparked a bigger bug in me to learn more tricks then the ones I have had in my bag for so long. Now its like a monkey on my back.

Oh, furnace... I do not do well working with little things like that...
I really liked it, i never made anything great besides vases and stuff, but it wasnt really for me, it was a fun class, no doubt...
In High School I was big into clay, i would get up and go to school at 7, an hour and a half before school started to make a pot,
College however, more into photography and graphic design,

Welcome
