Hello everybody!
My name is Mark , 32, from Germany and I love doing magic. I dont do magic for a living. I mostly entertain my friends and family at partys or so or my co-workers at work.
I mostly specialized on Card-Magic, because I always had a favour for Card-Games my whole life. I never leave the house without a deck of cards.
My girlfriend is somewhat like my assistant... She is the first to see new tricks I learned and she is kind of drawn to do magic herself (but luckily not card-magic, so we complement each other).
Ive been learning from Roberto Riobbis "Card College 1-5", which is really great to work with to learn all the basics.
Of course I always enjoy seeing a magic show myself and Im happy that doing magic myself hasnt killed the fun of seeing others doing magic, although I sometimes know how its done or if not I think about how things are done.
I found it very hard to find a good forum, where I can discuss with others about magic and I hope I found it with this forum.
Best Greetings from Germany,
Mark
PS:
As I dont want to break any rules here I would like to ask a questions:
Is it possible to discuss magic-tricks here? Not that I want to know the specific trick-secrets, but the problem is that I dont have a lot of money to buy all the tricks, that sound interesting to me, when I dont know if they are practical for me (especially if there is a gimmick involved)... We dont have any Magic-Shops here, where I could buy tricks and get the personal advice. So there is only Magic-Shops in the internet for me... And I dont want to buy anymore tricks that are maybe great, but dont fit in my style or are unpractical for my routines.
