... actually new "old man" on the block. I was introduced to magic over 30 years ago by a friend in Missouri who I've always told "saved me from being a couch potato". The love and passion for magic has never dimminished. I still love to be "fooled" by other magicians. Anyway, hello out there. 66 and still performing at every opportunity. (Alan - Surrey ,B.C.

Hi Alan,

Welcome to the Café. Just pull up a comfortable chair, grab a coffee and be prepared for lots of informative reading. It's a friendly place so don't hesitate to join in the conversations. There might be a few couch potatoes in here, as this place can get addicting. :O)

Just wondering if you belong to the VMC (Vancouver Magic Circle)? It's a fairly large ring with well over 120 members.

Welcome to the Café, Alan!

... actually I'm in a comfortable chair with a coffee. Thank you! Yes , I did belong to the VMC about 20 years ago. But too much talk not enough magic. I'm into comedy magic , stage and platform as well as close-up , walk-around and occasionally busking. that covers it I guess. But I especially like good magic with comedy. Saw Jeff Hobson in May (Las Vegas) GREAT act. A very unique guy.

Welcome to the Café, Alan ol' buddy! There is so much to read and so many nice folks in this place. Glad that you are here to check it out. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Hi Ray! fancy meeting you here! Nice to find a place to share thoughts and ideas. I thought I might meet someone I knew. cool!

Hey Welcome to the Café!!!! Hope you enjot your stay Alan! ( ill go with the crowd )
