I have already made a few posts, but just now saw this thread and decided I should probably introduce myself formally, and tell you a little about myself. Hello, my name is Elijah, Eli for short, and have practicing and performing this beautiful artform since I was 10 years old. Being only 16 at the moment, I feel that my age, in many circumstances, works against me. This is simply because when people are faced as to book myself or another magician who is of an older age, they usually pick the ladder of the two. To conquer this issue, I practice my butt off and I feel that to compete with th e next guy, I must let my magic speak louder than anything I could say. I have loved magic ever since I was six years old, after seeing a magic special with David Blaine perform on tv. Although for the following 4 years, I simply performed little magic kit tricks for family only. Then, at ten years of age, my father, who is a pastor with my mother in The Salvation Army, was moved to a new state. To make the move less burdensome, my father took me to my first magic shop. I fell in love with everything about it, and I knew it was something I wanted to do. Since then, I have lived magic and decided that I want to be a performer and shop owner as a profession. I have also a very musical background and specialize is classical guitar, so I also would like to teach music theory in the future as well. For the past 2 years, I have watch and followed many of your posts, reviews, and wisdom on magic as an artform. You have all taught me so much already, and I am sure this will continue, especially now that I am a member here at the Café. I am excited and truly humbled to be here, and to be able to share my thought with you, some of the greatest and most innovative minds in magic, is truly a blessing from God.

G'day Eli
Welcome to the Café - Thanks for the background - I guess I am one of those other guys (older than 16 years magician) - I have 2 apprentice magicians and one of them is 16 years old and I have been able to have him booked for gigs that I can't fit in (his magic does the talking)- I look forward to reading your questions and comments.
