Hey everyone

I am very new to magic and getting a bit lost in all the different areas and possible directions to go in. I have touched upon card magic, coin magic and mentalism. However i am very poor at all and cannot yet decide which to concentrate on.

As a complete newbie to magic, are there any good clubs or meets where i can get face to face advice from fellow magicians? bearing in mind i am from Southampton. I asked this question in another forum and the only suggestion i got was the Magic Circle and IBM! both a bit out of my league.

Anyway i look forward to learning as much as i can here.

cheers

Hello,

Have fun

learn much and share more

I think I'll print that out in a nice big fancy font and stick it on the wall - a great thought and a superb ideal to try and live up to. Even at this unearthly hour on the longest day.

Ahh that explains it, longest day. My Druid ancestors are talking to me

Welcome to TM PEDRO THE GREAT,
Get yourself a good card book (for arguments sake RRTCM is a classic) and Bobo's book for coin the coin magic.
Sit yourself down for an hour a day with the cards and an hour with bobo and a few coins.
Also go to your local library and see if they have any general Magic books and learn some of the stuff from them.
For Mentalism i think it's Karl Fulves who has a book called Easy to master mental Tricks or something like that.

That should keep you going for a few months at the very least and one bit of advice is don't rush to perform anything practice it until it is airtight.

Hi Pedrothegreat and welcome

For mantalism you have to start with 13 Steps
