Hello, may I introduce myself? I am sorry for my english wich is too bad !!! I am a professional mentalist magician living in the heart of a charming little village in the south-west of France, situated mid-way between Bordeaux and Toulouse. Aged 52, I have been practising magic for 45 years and mentalism for over 30 years.

I would like to make contact with magicians in the USA and Canada who are interested in mentalism so that we can talk about our shared enthusiasm. If you happen to speak French, it would be easier for me because I have little English. If you would like an idea of what I do, you could always go visit my web site, the address is http://www.NIRAG.fr. Now I'll finish my short introduction and just say that I hope to hear from you.

Welcome NIRAG,

I'm don't speak French but I am Mental (Almost a joke in english).

There are many here who don't speak english and many more who don't spell in English.

If you are doing your best it will be fine. I've gotten some good advice and enjoyed the different perspectives of people who don't speak english here on the Café.

Your English is better than my French (none). I admire you for trying.

Hello Mary. Thank you for your post. I am OK to try to speak mentalism with you if you want.

Nirag,

make an introduction to our fellow mentalist's in "penny for your thoughts" tell us a little about what you have read, you like, and don't like about mentalism. that way we have an idea about you.

my best,

Hello Isidore.

As I say, my English is very bad. Yet explain in French that I like and don't like is not easy, so in English ..... I want try it, but I hope you understand me. In mentalism, I practice lot of effects of "mémory" (I read the excellent book of Harry Lorayne about mémory (but in french))and effect of "magic square". I read so Tony Corinda (13 steps to mentalism) T.A. Water (Mind Myth and Magick), Ted Lesley, Bob Cassidy and of course Max Maven which is my "référence" and I had the opportunity to see him in a French Congres 3 years ago (on my website there is a picture of Max Maven with me). I would like read Anneman but I wait that his books are translated in french.... I hope that you have now so a little idea of me and mentalism. I hope that you understand my very bad English.... If I come often on the magic Café I hope that I will make progress.....

Hello Nirag,

Welcome to The Magic Café. I hope you really enjoy the magicians here.

Lucy and I were in France last summer. Too bad we did not get to meet then.

Enjoy your magic.
