You must have a lot of spare time if you read these. Anyways... I know they can be boring so I will keep it short.
I am guessing I am one of the younger members here. I am 17 years old, but in about a week I will be 18. If wisdom comes with age, I guess most of you are a level above me. Better luck next time.
I live in Alaska. Chances are I am the only one from Alaska here. But who knows, I could be wrong.
I have had a pretty strong interest in magic for quite some time now. I would say the majority of my life. I remember being in an elementary school assembly where one of the local magicians was performing. I was amazed at what he did, and I knew right away that I wanted to be able to do that. At such a young age I didn't know where to start, so it was nothing more than a dream, until I was lucky enough to see Copperfield live.
Naturally I was inspired. I wanted to become a magician yet again. I bought a book or two, I did more reading than practicing (Typical teenager attitude?
) Laziness kicked in, and still maybe 10 years since my first encounter with the world of magic in that small elementary school performance I have not done too much with it.
In the past few days I felt an urge to pick up my interest in magic again, but I didn't really know where to start. So, naturally, I took my curiousity to Google and threw down a few searches. Nothing good came up, until somehow I found this website. And well, here I am.
As far as my goals and the direction I want to take with magic, I don't have a clue. That's probably because I haven't had as much exposure with practicing tricks and performing. Hopefully this time around I will not quit so easily.
Thank you for your time, and have fun.
