I'm Josh, I was Dubbed Red Top by my friends because I'm a ginger.
I'm really happy to be here and find such a place full of great wisdom for this Art. I'm into upclose magic, I love card tricks as well as other bits. I'm looking at expanding into mentalism as wel. I'm seeking a lot of advice and wisdom as I start to work out my stage (or up close stage) act.
Magic is the ability to lie and people to love you for it and want you to lie to them again and again and again

Welcome Josh! What city are you from? (Assume you are Australian). I lived in Melbourne for two years and traveled a good bit across the country. Enjoyed every minute of it!
Spend time in Ever So Lightly and you will get some great ideas for your close up work. See you there! Hudson |

I feel disheartened by the way some of the people act here and honestly don't believe this is a forum to be in unless you want to be attacked or be shot down.
I just feel dirty. I'm glad to have met some really amazing people here, just scared to post much.

Hi Josh,
Welcome to the Café. Please don't be disheartened, There are many, many more people here willing to help than there are wanting to attack or shoot you down, I have been here for around 5 years and I can honestly say that I have received a lot of help when I submitted a question as opposed to being shot down or attacked. As I am an experienced close up magician, nearly all my posts are about helping magicians with a problem Enjoy your visit to the Café and take part in those subjects that interest you. All the best Michael |

G'day Oz!
Thru High School (I know! I'm educated beyond my intelligence!) I was "OZ". Partly because my surname, Oslund, is pronounced with a z sound. Also, "The Wizard of OZ" movie was only a few years old. "Red" hair!! If anyone asks, just tell them you got caught in the rain, and now you're rusty! I'm 83 and was a full time professional most of my life. (Started working for $$$ when I was 13.) Occasionally, I revert to being an "irate curmudgeon" when someone comes on here and acts like he already knows it all, or demands (!) help to produce "his" show, when he is, obviously, unwilling to put forth any effort. This doesn't happen very often. MOST of the new folks are good guy (and gals). Unfortunately (perhaps fortunately!) I'm not a cardician, so I wont be of much help to you in that area. I did do "some" mental stuff in my high school program,back in the '80s, but I took it out. --Too many wanted to believe it was real. You will, I'm sure, soon realize, if you haven't already, that "tricks" are only a part of "it". S.H. Sharpe said, (eons ago) "Those who think that magic consists of doing tricks, are strangers to magic. Tricks are only the crude residue from which the lifebood of magic has been drained." Best wishes and welcome to our "motley crew"! Dick Oslund Sneaky, underhanded, devious, and surreptitious itinerant mountebanc. --and soon to be certified an authentic quacksalver
