Hello all,
I just stumbled back onto these forums for the first time in almost a year. I started doing silly magic tricks when I was 7, and now I'm in college, going to UC Santa Barbara, eleven years later. I got really interested in the performing aspect in relation to the learn as many tricks as possible aspect of magic in the last two years of high school, but then I stopped performing senior year (except one show hah!) because I was sick of being known as the magic guy... I didn't want magic to define me, and for the first semester of college I didn't even have a deck of cards. I met a million new people and none of them knew I had a hidden talent, and I loved it! It was a change that I needed to make. I did, though, come back after winter break with a deck of cards. I brought them out one time and surprised some people, because to be honest, after almost a year and a half of barely performing magic, I missed it!
I missed you guys! I haven't been to these forums in probably a year, and even though I wasn't a big poster or anything, I had always followed the E forums when I still went there, and then here, and I missed it! I miss the atmosphere and the magic in the air! haha corny much? Well, after a long time, I am back and I'm excited to get my magical hands loosened up!
Has anyone else been defined by something that wasn't who you were? I also have a twin sister, and I was sick of being defined by her... too bad she followed me to UCSB!
nice to be back,
Kevin
