I wanted to hear some of your guys stories of the first time you saw magic and it really blew your mind. I think that this would be a fun forum and i'll share first.
I was about 9-10 and my family decided to take a trip to Las Vegas, it was such a wonderful place the bright lights, tall buildings, fun hotels and magicians. At that time the only magicians I were really familiar with were; Criss Angel and David Blaine (due to how much they were advertised). My family stayed at the "Circus Circus" hotel and casino and I absolutely loved the environment but it wasn't until the second to last day when a store that had been closed all week was open.
It was a magic shop, I begged my parents to look go inside just to take a look. Just stepping inside I felt something just come inside me, it was joyous and I was having the time of my life, a man was doing the Ufo Card inside the building and I could see absolutely nothing except for a floating card, doing crazy tricks right in front of my face.
I begged the man to know how it was done, so he took my father and I and another family to the "Back room" and he showed us how it was done. I bought the Ufo card, played with it and lost the necessary supplies. After I had lost the supplies I really stopped doing magic for a few years due to my lack of understanding, fast forward a couple years I see a super simple card trick on youtube and I bought a deck and here I am now, studying every single book on card manipulation that I can!
Share your experiences, I can't wait to read them!
