I was just talking to a young performer and he asked me what I perform other then doing readings....I explained to him that I started magic when I was 8 years old. I did it as a hobby and was occasionally performing for pay until I was 18 years old. it was then that I decided to go pro..... so all told I have 10 years as a hobbyist and semi pro, and 32 years as a full time working pro. with a grand total of 42 years in magic and mystery entertainment....I have never felt as old as I do now lol...

I know the feeling, I too have been involved with magic for 43 years.
Makes you wonder where the time went and where all those must have miracles I once had went too.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

Just passed 60 years for me, if you count performing for family after I learned my first few things from my AC Glibert "Mysto Magic Kit" that wonderful Christmas, so loooong ago...!!

I realized last year that I had been involved in magic for 50 years. Now I realize that it has been more than 40years since I did my first paid show. The coolest part for me is that I seem to learn something new about this every day.
