Hello!
I'm Jesse. I'm half Canadian half Finnish. I'm a diaboloist/juggler whatever you want to call it. I've done diabolo for five years, juggling for 3, contact juggling for almost a year and yoyo for about two weeks (of course I had a yoyo when I was a kid, but this is a "real" yoyo).
I was exremely interested in magic in elementary school. I even had a short routine! All crappy tricks of course, but I was very proud of myself. I've forgotten everything I could do then and it was mostly magic kits from Toys R Us and some tricks of my own. I've always been into magic, but for whatever reason kind of forgot about it. Then I started juggling and have gotten pretty good at that. Diabolo is my main prop and I should have a promo video ready pretty soon. I've got a video online and will show it if anyone's interested. After starting diabolo I also got into toss juggling. Last summer I met a lot of contact jugglers in Vancouver and of course I had to start that. I fell in love with isolations and that's what I mostly practice now. The illusionary side of CJ also reminded me of my love to magic. Later I saw some card manipulation videos on the CJ forums and really loved what I saw!
A few months later I decided that I have to start learning card magic again. (I'm mostly interested in that area) I contacted friend of mine who's a magician and he gave me three DVDs to watch. Yesterday I watched "Daryl Does the Full Monte" and I think I'm going to start working on that! So yeah I'm a beginner at magic, but a fairly experienced juggler/manipulator.
Sorry for the long intro.
-Jesse
well done.
