Introduce Yourself

[Dave Wiltrout]

What's up everyone. Some of you may know me and others may not. I thought this type of thread would be relevant. I guess I'll kick things off and the rest of you can follow up with your own introduction.

Name: David Wiltrout

Location: Western Pennsylvania, USA UPDATE: Recently moved to Myrtle Beach, SC

Birth Date: 10/20/84

Magic Experience: 5 years

First Magic Book: Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic

Genre of Magic: Mainly Mentalism and Cards...Never touched a sponge ball in my life and don't plan on it. Some of you may argue it, but it's not my type of work. You won't find sponge balls or balloon animals here.

Hobbies: Playing Guitar, Knife Throwing, Working out, Learning anything, Sports, Psychology, Observing the world in silence and quite recently martial arts, but then again, that could be included in sports.

That's all I can think of. Maybe I'll add some more after I see the following posts.

History: A bit about myself, I was originally born in Bosnia (which is in Europe, near Italy). And then moved to Switzerland due to the war, I lived there for a good part of my life and then came to Canada where I'm still living. I started magic when I saw a video on youtube for the world's greatest card trick...watched it and was instantly amazed, so I started. I then met a few people in my area who also did magic and am now doing both magic and have started to expand into flourishing...that's my story, short and sweet, nothing too special, but just in case you guys were interested
