I'm Norwegian, female, late 20's, and life long magic fan - and amateur magicican.
We had a magic book at home when I was a kid, with basic card magic in it, and that was my first proper introduction to magic, and I just loved the mechanics of the tricks even then. Particularily I find the psychology of magic/the performance fascinating.
I've got an older sister who is quite a bit of a paranormal-fan, so I've been to seances and seen mediums with her. Even though I'm a sceptic, I still find the "show"/perfomance aspect of it very entertaining (though I've found some of it just plain wrong, morally).
And, yes, like many others I am a big fan of Derren Brown and his type of magic. Particularily the victorian magic bits he does (seance, spirit cabinet, oracle act, table floating etc.)
Hope to find inspiration, good books, and a few laughs on this forum!
