Profile of Mike that tries magic
Hi I’m Mike

I have gained a lot of tips from this board and decided to finally register.

I’ve had interest in magic for as long as I can remember- since seeing Paul Daniels do the impossible and asking my parents - how?

As a child I had a few magic sets but really only performed for fun - not to others. I did a few tricks for my older siblings and parents, but I was not good and they always knew how I did things ( and my siblings often knew how to stop the trick working so would ruin it ).

I kind of moved away from magic as I got older. As an adult I have gained some interest back. I still don’t perform ( other than silly little tricks for my wife ) but I get enjoyment from the things I do.

As a child I found card tricks boring, as an adult - my favorite tricks are card tricks. With props I feel you get a few tricks, with a deck of cards you have fun, games, and a world of tricks.

I drift in and out of magic so not sure I’d even say it is a real hobby.

I do buy more books and videos occasionally, (and more rarely the odd prop) and I drift in and out of practicing tricks too.

I think mostly I enjoy breaking down tricks to work out how they are done. Which probably will make me unpopular.

I also recently had a child of my own so maybe when he gets older I can impress him with some things.

And that’s me.

Hi Mike ...
Paul Daniels? - so I guess you are from the UK too.

I agree ... everyone has "dipped their toes" into magic, but we always come back.
It's intriguing. Sometimes you just can't put it down.

I too, am a card man with 40 years experience.
If I can help you gain the confidence you need, then just PM me.

Let's get you on track my friend ... quick time

Welcome to The Café, and welcome back to magic (^_^)

When your kid's a little older, don't forget the classic "behind the ear" trick -- my youngest is going on 7, me "pulling things out of his ears" is his absolute favorite (especially cards)!
