Well I may aswell get the arbitrary introductory post out of the way. I am a 16 year old lad from South Wales, and go by the name of Ryan and I'm currently doing my A-Levels
I've was interested in magic when I was at a much younger age, yet I never really got in to it as a hobby. For the past couple of months I have always had a deck of cards with me at all times - Namely to play cards with my friends between lessons and when ever we have a spare moment. Having cards on me has become second nature, and I've often found myself just opening the pack and shuffling them like it was a bad habit.
I've known about card magic for as long as I can remember, but only recently have I become aware of cardistry / card flourishing, and I thought, heck, why not?
I've only very recently started to take card magic and flourishing seriously in the past week, yet I've been practicing tricks and flourishes non stop, despite the fact my hands are a bit on the small side (I'm fairly short.) yet I see it as merely adding to the challenge rather than my hands being a detriment.
- Maybe later on I'll branch out from cards.
But for now I'll stick to practicing with my cards, it must be doing me some good, I haven't touched a computer game since I've started.
Well, there ya go - more than you need to know!
