Hey everyone! Just thought I`d say hi. My name is Dave and I live in England (well, actually I`m in Japan for a GAP year atm, but I`ll be back soon!) I`m 18, I know a few tricks which I have taken the time to practise over and over, so they are pretty good, at least they seem slightly natural and fool most people. However, I don`t have that many under my sleeve, so I need to bulk up my artinery (sp?) if ya know what I mean. Prolly only high beginner/intermediate at magic, mainly street stuff and only do it as a hobby.

Found this site searching for magic items, mainly the Reel Raven which I have just purchased. Isn`t here yet, and I`m not too worried about advice from people saying get it/don`t get it because I want to find out for myself; and anyways I actually used the search function and took the time to read all the previous entries about it.

^-^ anyhow, pleased to meet you all!

Nice to meet you I'm a new member as well thought id say hi (i was sad when no one reply to mypost hehe)
have fun in japan what a breathtaking country ^_^
good luck in your magic endevores(sp?)
and one thing I found hard way is that make sure you really look into an effect with so many ways to do things and magic not being a thrifty mans hobby you can still be thrifty and get the effects you need and want under your belt. best thing I can say is get involved here(so it seems so far wonderful site!!)and within your local magic clubs being able to talk and practice with ppl of like mind is a great help and magicans and enthusist many times can help you along your magical path agian good luck and happy times
