Mike that tries magic New user 1 Post |
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 Wulfie |

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)! |
