Even though I have tons still to learn, I too would not be nearly as far along in my Magical journey had it not been for my discovery of the Café. From the vast resource material both here and those I have been directed to, to the personal help given freely by members here, I thank you Steve for making it possible. I tip my hat to you sir!

Congratulations, Steve! I have just returned from my first big convention, TAOM. Wow, more magic in a few days than in my entire previous 60+ years! Even though there are no other magic aficionados where I live, learning and enjoying magic is so much easier now thanks to a plethora of great books, DVDs, conventions, and most of all the 24/7 personal interaction that your site affords. I feel so fortunate. Many thanks to you and the staff, E

Half of a decade and counting and over 26,000 members, over one and one-half MILLION posts!

Now THAT'S something to CELEBRATE!

I doubt that there is another magic board on the planet that can match THAT level of participation OR of quality - look at some of our Guests of Honor - the list reads like a Who's WHo if FISM, IBM, SAM and Magic Circle Grand Prize Winners!

Here's to the next FIFTY-FIVE - at least!!

Thanks Steve! I learned more in just over a month than I had known in 4 years of magic when I was younger. There has never been a better place to open up your eyes to the wide variety of magic than at the Café. My only problem is I spend too much time here at the Café and not practicing magic!! Thanks

Thanks everyone for your kind birthday wishes both here, via private message and the many I have received thru email. I'm so happy that the last five years has brought so many together and helped many more find their own special place in the world of magic. I want to thank not only our volunteer staff (both past and present), but our Café technical team (Gene & Mary.B), our special guests who have appeared here each month, our very own Café columnists (and let us not forget our many sponsors who insure the Café remains a free resource), but all of you who frequent the Café on a daily basis (whether registered or not), for it is each of YOU who have truly made The Magic Café the great community and priceless resource it is today. May God bless you all. :)
