Well, I first started by looking up magic on YouTube. Then I found Jason Soll and his flourishing Tutorials. And then I looked up flourishing and found Kevin Ho and his "Portable Playground". Watched the Virts for a while and decided to look at the other guys in the video; Dan and Dave. I found them, and then the Trilogy and afterwards joined their forums. And then I got more into magic and cardistry and heard about the contests and products here. Then came to check it out and I was hooked.
My story is pretty boring really.
Boring? Hardly. It is your story, and nobody else can say that it is theirs. That is what makes a community like this so amazing.
As a thank you for kicking off this thread in the right direction (and because I am super amazing cool) I'll be sending you a little something out of my personal stash. Check your PM's.
