Hello Everyone,

My name is Will Hayden, I'm new to "The Magic Café"... And Magic as well.

My 14 Year old son recently started picking up a few tricks here and there, and it hit me... Magic is pretty cool, when done right--which is not my sons current approach... His method is to practice for about five-minutes then mess up the trick in front of me, but like most Fathers, I like to act like he "got me on that one".

I'm currently soaking myself in anything Card related, taking my time with the fundamentals of card handling, shuffling and in general, just becoming one with my deck of cards.

You guys have so much info to go through here and I can't wait to learn more.

A few other areas of magic/trickery that I could see myself enjoying would have to be Pick-Pocketing, Lock-Picking, and generally anything to do with Escape Magic.

Cheers!

-Will Hayden

Welcpome to the Magic Café

Hello, I’m Justin Style. Welcome to the Café!

Hello! Welcome to the forums.

It is good to see another new person joining the magic community. Steve Brooks has a great site here and the community is very helpful. There is a lot of knowledge and skill within these pages.

Magic has been such an important part of my own personal life - from when I started performing and into when I decided to launch my own online magic store (www.magicvault.net). With so many things in life to push magic into the background (tv, work, sports, ect..) it is good to see more and more people discovering this "art".

Again, welcome... feel free to drop me a private message just to chat - I love building my network of magic contacts!
