Hi everyone. My name's Elwood (okay, it's Elliot Watson really). I'm into fast, funny close up stuff, along the lines of Paul Zenon, Jay Sankey and David Williamson.

I'm 24 and I've been a performing musician for the best part of 20 years, starting with piano recitals at 5, right up to gigging in rock bands from 13 onwards (still doing it!). Been a fan of magic all my life, but only been studying it seriously for a little over a year. I'm into cards, elastic bands and some coin stuff, try to keep it short and sweet and funny! Not doing paid gigs yet, but everywhere we go I end up doing something...out shopping, up the pub, in restaurants...the missus gets sick of it!
I guess that performing is performing, whether it be magic, music, dance or whatever...I love being a showman!

As a day job, I'm a self employed web designer, so I have plenty of time to practise tricks!

Anyway, I'm hoping to do something a little more "professional" with my magic before too long, and start earning back some of the money I've spent!

Nice to meet you all!

Hi Elwood!

Let me be the first to say HELLO!!!

The three you mention are all heroes of mine so you're in good company!!!!

This is a really cool place, you're gonna love it.

Like I say, welcome.

Kick back & enjoy...

Welcome to the Cafe, Elwood. So your wife is sick of your impromtu magic bits. That's a common statement in magic. Mine works with me so I don't have the problem. This is a great place to be. Lots of friends and tons of experience. You'll have a blast here. Enjoy a snack on me while you're here. I think you've had enough coffee for awhile.

Welcome Elwood,

Glad to have you join us at the Cafe.
This is a great place to hang out, ask questions, get ideas, and make friends.

Hay, wait until you see how much money you've spent on magic after a few MORE years! You think you've spent a lot now? Ha! Better get a second job to support THIS habit!

Enjoy yourself here!
