You've got a great site here! I had a relative who was a semi-professional magician, and I grew up watching and learning from him. In the past few years I've turned more of my attention to the craft and am working on putting together a twenty-minute parlor set. I have the most experience with coins and cards (pretend you're surprised), but hoping to add in ropes and silks to my repertoire.

Well ... a very warm welcome to you.
where in the world are you coming from rumblepuddy?

Welcome rumblepuddy,

Ropes and silk are a great addition to any repertoire (try Ring and Rope as well).

I'm in the greater Los Angeles area. And I actually just picked up a ring-and-rope after seeing a killer presentation a few weeks ago!
