Hi everyone,

I was quite late to magic, at about 30. Motivated to try and be less boring rather than making small talk. Very amateur, travel everywhere with a small number of props, but mostly perform impromptu. Read about/practice magic every day, but might not do any for months on end, unless the moment is right.

Married with twin boys, now a very grown up 12. Long suffering wife who has picked more than her fair share of cards.

Look forward to meeting you all

Tommo

PS - my nickname has been Tommo since school/Army, my user name is because I'm a member of the Handlebar Club (Moustache that is, not bicycle!)

Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome.

I should add that my Corps was the Royal Corps of Signals (Motto: Certa Cito). And yes, you can probably make a pretty close guess at my surname, I joined the army same time as Chalky White, Nobby Clark and Smudger Smith!

I'll sort out a pic, but in the meantime here are some of the club

Quite a handy prop for mis-direction!

Yours ever,

Tommo
