Hi,
I'm living in Hamburg and I'm doing card tricks since December 2007. As I was always familiar with cards, most techniques and presentation came quite natural to me. After failing to learn coin-magic at the same speed I put it away, but I want to start soon with cups and balls or sponge magic. (I have a little daughter of 3 years and she finds card magic absolutely not interesting

I already found very interesting things in the forum here. Especially the names of Magicians and the reviews of books, tricks and DVDs.
Before visiting this forum I only had my old books (RRTCM, Buckleys, Bobos and the one from Wilson) and was not knowing what is state of the art now.
Thanks so far.
