A Terminal C.U.P.S. Patient

Postby evmeister » Oct 8th, '05, 00:46



Hi everyone,

I have recently gotten back into magic after a brief interest as a young child. It all started again when I was playing cards with someone at the pub I work in and I tried a trick on them that I haven't tried for years. And they were completely blown away (it was a version of Triumph that I learnt from a magic DVD I bough from a holiday to American when I was about 8).

Soon after some professional magicians started working in my pub making weekly visits to entertain the customers whilst waiting for their food, etc...

One of them showed me a few card tricks and I was amazed. As soon as I started researching card magic i couldn't believe how clever some of the moves were that people use in their routines (at this point I couldn't even do a DL) and I just got drawn into the world of card magic deeper and deeper.

I've recently been diagnosed with C.U.P.S. (Compulsive Unnecessary Purchase Syndrome) as a terminal case.

I look forward to learning from you and sharing the wisdom I have gathered in the last 5-6 months of learning card magic.

Due to a problem with my account and changing my email address, i can't get in with regular username anymore, so I will now be known as magic_evmeister. FYI

Welcome.

I think you should understand that CUPS is never fatal (it can be damaging if your wife finds your credit card bill, but never fatal) Fatal would mean that there was at least an end in sight, not so with CUPS it is an affliction you will carry with you forever, wherever you may go, wherever you might hide.

Sorry, must go now, I think I have missed my medication!
