Hello from Switzerland!
I am Adrian, an amateur/hobby/occasional magician. Magic has fascinated me since I was a kid, I learnt some sleights of hand and some tricks in the course of the years, but never had a "general education" in magic, so to speak. I am now 49 and want to continue magic in this amateur way (an amateur is someone who practices magic because he loves it!). As I wrote in the forum: I learnt certain sleights of hand, not because I needed them for a certain trick, but just because I was fascinated that this can be done, and I wanted to be able to do it. Thus, I thought along the line "wow, I want to achieve this skill"! Nowadays, I rather think along the line "how can I create a magic experience for those watching (and what are the skills that I need to do it)?" In my professional life, I am a theologian, I work as a parish priest (in the Old Catholic Church, just in case you are interested) and as an adult education instructor. |

Welcome adrianrbf,
I think everyone feels like they are lacking in the basics because there is no canon on what is basic. Many Magicians go headlong into a trick with poor skill at a new sleight. You are going at it from the other direction. Sounds like a better direction. It certainly will be good to get your skills out there and see if your practice was practical. If it ends up entertaining, you got it! The Sorting Hat says "The Workers" forum for you. - Mary Mowder |

Hello Adrian, It is so good to have you on the forum. You will find many friends willing to share a vast amount of valuable information. I have also been fascinated by magic since childhood. Best regards and welcome to the Café. - Hal
