Hello everyone,
I love this forum and I always come here first before I buy a new trick.
Anyway my name is Steve and I found out about this site via Magicweek.
I have been doing magic for about 5 years since I was mesmerised by a magician in a shop in vegas. I saw him doing the spinning card and I had to know how he did it, so naturally I had to by it. Then he showed me scotch and soda, SOLD ! I've been hooked since. I have always been interested in magic but never knew how to take it further until I met this guy in Vegas.
My favourite trick to date still is the scotch and soda with my own routine.
But just lately I am steering clear of gimmicked tricks although some do have a time and a place. I just want to spend time learning the real art. Many times I've been caught on the hop!
At the moment I am trying to master an ambitiuos card routine.
It's fair to say I like close up magic with realistic objects. In my eyes magic is about what you are doing rather than what a fancy and elaborate gimmick is doing.
I look forward to more reviews and feedback

Regards Steve

Looks like you've come to the right place,

The spinning card trick is also known as the Hummer card or Helicopter card

Welcome my magical amigo. Sounds like you've got another case of C.U.P.S. (Compulsive Unnecessary Purchase Syndrome) just like the rest of us. I hope none of us ever find the cure.
