Hi there. Ive been lurking on these forums for a while now and thought it was time i stopped being bashful and said 'hello.'
My name's Ed and Ive not been practicing magic seriously for particularly long, despite having a healthy interest in it since I was young (I remember finding an old svengali deck in my grandparents house when I was a kid and being mesmerised by the posssibilities. When i say it was old i mean it, too... Paul Daniels had hair on the front of the box.)
My main interest lies in card magic, coin magic and generally any close up work that can be performed with borrowed items.
I'm currently re-reading RRTCM, with Expert Card Technique waiting eagerly in the wings. I've also picked up Bobo and The Devil's picturebook DVD (A bit advanced, maybe, but couldn't resist
)
I'm particularly interested in getting to grips with some good misdirection techniques (card under box, card under pint, card in the marmalade jar the next morning etc.) so would be very appreciative of any recommendations in that area.
Thanks very much for your time. This seems like a wonderful place and i hope to become an active part of it!
