I have been into magic for quite a few years and have come a long way. I started out like most with the magic kit. After I got done with those (lost most of the parts) I got my first deck of cards.

In my house when I was younger, playing cards were not allowed. But my parents had a deck (Hoyle playing cards) and I was determined to get some. And after a lot of asking and begging, I got my first deck of Bicycle playing cards. And from that point on I have been hooked.

Since then I have moved into mentalism and a bit of coin magic, but card magic is still my main strength.
