How did you first get started in cardistry?

A decade ago I accidentally stumbled on an online forum post that discussed two card moves - neither of which I knew anything about. I had to learn more, the more I educated myself, the more hungry I became. Eventually Cardistry consumed me until it was all I did - it became an unhealthy obsession.
