I just recently started with magic again and thus began reading this forum again. I figured: why not actually join the community whilst at it? So, as if I'd never been here before, here is me introduction:
I started magic when after a couple of kid parties (some years ago) with me amazed at the magicians, me ma gifted me a magic set (ye know which ones, most surely). Time went by and I thought I was mustard at what I did; and when one's a wee lad, everyone will act amazed.
Later on, I grew up and learned a couple of card tricks from me uncle (who would've thought?!); but I was getting ambitious. And unfortunately not in a good way. I simply started looking all around, jumping from A to C, to D, to B,...not practicing at all, not bothering on patter, never getting books but only single effect DVDs which I thought would comeout with X or Y deck... Buy, buy, buy. Nonetheless I was very happy. And then I somehow started to settle down and actually try and become better as a magician (not much practice, but at least trying it a couple of tenths of times before even thinking on showing me family a trick, a few more before I did it at school) only to, when I finally started to understand what it really took, enter culinary school. Study in the mornings, eat, work and sleep. All I did. I left the parkour I took, the magic I was only begining to really understand,... Even worse when I found out cooking was a hobby of mine and not something I wanted to live of (Currently aplying for journalism, for I was always good at it).
But now I decided to take off from where I left, and not at the same time. I will take off from where I left experience-wise, but I'm currently trying to start fresh technique-wise for it was quite flawed and, since I never bothered much with fundamentals (which are the founding pillars of everything) I'm attempting to "press the reset button" and start anew.
Appreciate ye having me here.
