Hello everyone, I'm Phil from London - I've lurked around your excellent boards for a week or two...thought I'd better join so I can take part !
I'm a big fan of all magic, but I'm mostly into cards (although never underestimate the power of the TT !).
This is a great site & I look forward to getting involved in the community.

Hello Phil from London, enjoy the forum

Welcome.. You should get all the answers and help you need on this site. Good luck. Garry

Hi Phil, welcome along to TM

Welcome! It took me a while before I joined. Time wasted,in my opinion.
How about letting us know a little more about you.

A little about myself...I started with Royal Road - I persevered and I really enjoy the whole "card manipulation" thing. Cards are my main thing but I like to use TT, Sven and Invisible decks & the odd extra such as Tool & recently I've been having a go with loops/IT. I've only ever "performed" for familly/close friends and dont really have any ambitions to take it any further...it's corny but I get a kick out of doing magic for pleasure - especially bugging my drinking buddies...and NO I have never revealed a thing.
I have a problem though with coins and sponges...maybe it's my hands ?

You are in good company: Ramsay and Curry, to name but two! I'll bet your beloved TT was invented by an amateur.

Hello SS,

Mainly cards myself, although I have picked up one or two other good effects along the way.
Most of which are down to the folks on this forum, there quite an accommodating bunch of chaps.
Like yourself, I'm no pro, nor have I any desires to be, but I love to fool people, & when asked,
"How did I do that" I just say, "The last person asked me that"
It's hard enough to learn, without giving the secret away in a sentence.

Have fun, & welcome.

CArl...
