Hello and thanks for having me here on the Magic Café. I'm Mark and I have been into magic now for nearly a year and I absolutely love it. It's not just a hobby, it's some thing I would like to develop into a profession and this is a goal I wish to achieve at some stage in the near future.

I love all kinds of magic but I adore mentalism. So a big hello to you all on here and I look forward to my time here on the forums.

Welcome markb75,

I'd think long and hard before giving up my day job . Wait a second, Magic is my "day job". I should have done my thinking earlier LOL.

What ever you like in Magic, you are sure to get more info and a lot of experienced opinion (and some inexperienced as well).

What kinds of Magic do you perform?

Best of Luck!

Hi Mary,

My day job as a web designer is very safe but doing this as a profession next to my day job would be awesome. I'm not looking too make any vast fortunes, or any sustainable livleyhood from magic, but I do love to entertain and see smiles on the faces of those who see the magic.

I do a lot of card magic as well as mentalism. I recently created my own gimmick for mentalism which I use quite a lot and it gets great reactions which pleases me to no end.

So that is me in a nutshell.

Hi Mark,

Looks like we're going on this journey into magic around the same time (and in the same country!) Awesome that you're creating your own effects. I'm still in the gawping at trailers for various tricks stage. Looking forward to exploring the mentalism areas more too. Best of luck!

Hi Mark,

I'm Jonas Percy. I'm new here as well. I love mentalism and am itching to learn more. I would love to see any videos of you performing with your gimmick you have any? Please keep me posted! Looking forward to seeing you around the Café. Have a great day.

Boo. I left out the word "if," IF you have any... I normally try to proofread my work better than that. Some slip by. Apologies.
