Well, i've been into it since I was about eight when I saw this guy at a party pull his thumb off lol. I've only started to pick up real techniques within 08 though, so i'm just trying to refine everything right now. I tend to gravitate towards magic that makes people question themselves. Usually simple stuff. I do this very simple trick that just involves a hotshot from the middle of the deck, a top change, some misdirected patter about illusions and deception, and sometimes shapeshifter. Right now that seems to be my favorite thing to do because it usually gets a double take. As I get more advanced that'll probably change, but then again, i'm only doing my stuff around friends cause i'm still trying to perfect everything I already know. Five in One is a great effect btw. Who doesn't love money lol. So do you flourish too or is it just magic for you?
