Hi.. I'm Dave. I'm new here.
just a little background..
I started learning bar tricks (toothpick puzzles and the like) on my honeymoon a little over 2 years ago. When I got back, I learned the "disappearing cigarette" trick off of youtube.
My mother-in-law picked me up a svengali deck at the dollar store near my house, and from then on, I always had a pack or two of cards on me. I've learned a lot of tricks and a few slights off of youtube, expertvillage, metacafe, and other such sites.
I'd like to get better with slights and learn a few more. My right hand is in somewhat of a permanent claw from an injury, so learning slights can be a bit trying, but I haven't come across one that I can't nearly almost do.
I'm here to learn, and if I can pass along any information that helps someone out, I shall.
I joined this forum because I'm looking for the "right way" to learn card and other close-up magic. Just briefly looking through the threads, I found some really good advice.
I'm looking forward to everything everyone has to offer.
