Hello

When I was a small child, I got very sick and ended up hospitalized for a very long time (years). During that time, my parents purchased two sets for me, a magic set and an electronics kit. I loved doing all the tricks in it. I grew up and as life went on, I forgot about silly things like magic and learned a different sort "wizardry", that being electrical engineering (funny how easily influenced people are as children when making major life choices). Recently, I was helping a friend fix some electronic gizmos when her two children were playing with a magic set. I picked up a deck of cards that were nearby and began showing them some tricks that I still remembered. I also borrowed some paper cups from the kitchen and foil and performed the cups and balls. Not only did the two little ones eyes light up, but also my friend was completely in awe and now has been nagging me for days for information on how I did the tricks.

I had forgotten about how much fun it is to bring that sort of wonder to the eyes of someone else

This led me here, I was curious on what was new, what people are doing, and I might have a few questions.

Cheers!

Welcome ThunderSqueak,

Strange how adversity led you to your interests as well.

Loved your story and glad Magic has found its way back into your life.

I don't know what that is in your avatar but SOOO cute!
