Me

Hey everyone
My name is Isaac Butler, and I am 14 years old.
My hobbies other than magic are football, art, and some cooking .
I started to learn magic after I begged my brothers girlfriend to teach me a trick. I eventually got it out of her and I was hooked. Since then my magic has just flourished. (ha ha "flourished. )
I live in Sarnia Ontario and perform at my High School .
I was also born in Sarnia. I have allot to owe to magic but mostly God for giving me this talent to gain friendships and to entertain.



Working on : the clip shift , and mentalism such as muscle, pencil ,and lip reading.

Hi guys !

Real name: Alex Coquentin

Age: 17 years old

How I started in magic: I saw a friend's magic trick, during a trip in Portugal, few months ago. After this, I started magic with Youtube and easy tricks. Day after day, I bought cards, DVDs and books to learn how to become a magician xD.

Where Am i now: I can show what I can do to my friends or my family, but that's all. I'm not ready for doing it in the street or in a show (in front of many persons). I prefer work in my bathroom and use my mirror as a spectator

Where do i live: In France, in the city of Rennes.

What is my king of magic ? Cards, cards and cards again I learned a lot with T11, especially with the trilogy. I start also cards manipulation, as Dan Sperry does

I think that's all for the moment

See u guys !

I liked that photo mikk .

What camera did you use? did you used the sepia tone from your cam or from the edition in your computer?

It was a Canon i believe don't remember that well. But its done in a professional studio in my town. Got a chance to shoot some pics, ill add some more to my gallery in my profile.
But the Sepia is added on a computer and tweaked a bit. Adobe Lightroom is just amazing .

[willabbotsm]

Real Name: Will Abbottsmith

Age: 13

Hobbies Other Than Magic: Flourishing, Mentalism, Just plain talking to people, short cons, social engineering, squash

How I Started Magic: Pretty interesting, actually. About 2 years ago, I was on WikiHow.com, and I accidentally clicked on a how-to for a card trick. I was interested, so I googled to learn more about it. I went to a site, and it had an Ellusionist ad. I signed up for the "5 free tricks". I went about learning from the internet (public domain copies of Royal Road to Card Magic) then I found a magic forum (not this one) and the members there were really helpful, and I got more interested and bought more books, and it all went from there.

Where I Am Now: I have a deck of cards in my hand all the time at my house, and If I'm out I always have a few half dollars as well. I'm into flourishing, and I do that a lot. I also do magic a lot. I perform at people's house parties and dinners, I get those gigs from performing in random places.

Where I Come From: Cincinnati (near the USPCC)

Where I Live: Still Cinci.
