Left Handed people are meant to be more artistic and creative, so I thought I'd apply that to magic and see how many of my fellow magicians are also lefties.
I'd really like to see the ratio.

I'm ambedextrious, but I started with my right hand, so I put righty.

That's why Andrei Jikh, Allan Hagen, Jonas Haglund, Viet Nguyen, and only those lefty old timers are good. I've noticed righties improve at a normal rate, while lefties improve slowly. I don't know why because I'm not one -or didn't start out as a lefty.
I'm not trying to put any lefties down, but I'm just stating what i've notice.

Your quote above is an opinion, not a fact.

I'm a lefty too.

Edit:

Eugene, I think you're stereotyping with your statement. Try to back up your words or just take it back.

I'm a lefty, but I am also kinda amidextrious. I found out early that it's WAY eaisier to learn an effect taught right handed if you do it right handed, especially flourishes. So most of my card tricks are done using the right handed method.

I'm a right handed guy. I do most of my sleights and stuff like that with my right hand, but I sometimes switch to the left to do some of them.

I voted right. But I use both. I am right handed and I started out as a righty. But I have forced myself to use my left hand and become second nature with it. I can do most of the tricks with both hands now. It is also easier, because most books or videos have instructions from the left hand point of view.

.meh.

I'm left handed and hold the deck in my left hand when doing XCM, if that's odd.... although I can go double-wielding style with a more than a few moves, but I need to improve my right hand dexterity....

Although I am primarily right-handed in everyday life, I, too, am left-handed when it comes to magic. However, I can perform select sleights with my right-hand. As a result, I guess I could be qualified as semi-dexterous. ;)

Cheers,
JTM
