...no, not Antarctica, but Hobart - the lovely island state of Tasmania, in Australia.
A short word about me: As would probably be the same for many people on these forums, I fell in love with magic when I was a young'un. After learning simple things, like the linking rings trick and the hindu shuffle, I promptly 'grew up' and forgot about magic. I still kept the performing bug though and have performed in the stand up comedy circuit around the city for the last four years. Fast forward 20 years and my doctor said "You're planning on quitting smoking? Find something to do with your hands...". So I picked up a deck of cards again and remembered some tricks again, and got excited again, and enjoyed making and then perfecting the tricks again...busted out the old cup and balls and silks - and here I am. My main 'magic' love is card manipulation, with a hefty sprinkling of comedy. I've lurked for a while, registered a little while ago and have finally got around to my first post. So, long story short - g'day! Short story long - anything by Charles Dickens. P.S. Still smoking. Gosh it's a (* to get rid of. Am trying again in a couple of weeks. |

G'day BJ
Welcome to the Café - I expect that you will have some valuable contributions to make and I am wondering if your posts will give us any insights into the therapeutic application of practicing magic performance as it relates to giving up smoking. I wish you every success in both of your endeavors. You are the second Aussie who has made an initial post today. Bob Latta (aka Troppo Bob) |

Welcome BJ Almond,
Lurking's OK but joining in is more fun. I'm forced to agree about Dickens (But I still read 'em). I think he was paid by the word. -Mary Mowder |
