Dear all,
pleased to meet you, or better thankful that you read or view this post. I am a magician, or as I prefer, conjurer who has been trained in Vienna. Had my exam at the MKW in Vienna in 1996 and am now out and ready for more magic in my life without much club-ado and ties that kept me from my goals. Thus I would like to introduce myself to this community in basically California. I started out as complete unlicked cub in the eighties in my teens. At about 17 years of age I also worked occasionaly for money at private venues. I now know and also do sleight of hand magic, most are classics, but I also had some experience at the Club in Vienna (MKW) and at other occasions to perform on stage. Parlour magic most certainly also. Since a couple of years I tried to put text in vers together, that is story telling in meter and rhyme patterns to a subject of magic or to the magic objects I use during my altered routines that I acquired from shops (many times books only). Poetry story telling is sort of strange and not too widely popular, I found. You might say "Now, so why do it?" "nobody" wants it or appreciates it. Well, maybe it is also not easy to do, remembering lines accurately and dealing with sleight of hand plus involving the audience as much as possible and that's why it is unpopular to most magicians to perform and thus not known too much by the audience. I find it smart since it also includes theatrical elements of epic theater. Anyhow, that is on the audiences side to consider and talk about. If you want to see and are intrested in the way I deal with that issue you are welcome to check out my website chriscroydon.com that you can find on my profile. I also do "regular" magic with patter or with music. My latest upload at youtube might be of interest for all 4 aces trick lovers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVzy44issz8 Thus I am pleased to be now here a member to talk of areas of magic where I can learn and broaden my horizon but also where I can contribute to the posts. Many thanks to the people who make this forum possible, Cheerio CC Click here to view attached image. |

Dear ChrisCroydon-02,
I saw your 4 Ace routine and enjoyed it. I wish I had the nerve to put something out on youtube. Next time show your face. Enjoy the forums! I'll see you there. - Mary Mowder |

Dear Mary Mowder,
Thanks for post comment and viewing, next time will try to also get my face in. Problem with self-recordings, the way I do them, is sort of improvisational, thus no detailed script there that pins everything down. If you want to see my card manipulation on stage see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXYiUElqEIw , this video is also slightly sloppy -- maybe I should alter my profile name to ChrisCroydon-007?
