Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

My name is Paul and I have been a lifelong lover of magic since seeing David Nixon as a child. Loving Slydini, Tommy Cooper et al, I was soon bowled over by Paul Daniels in the mid-late 70's. Life and careers took me other places, and I started studying magic again in ernest a few years ago. My preferred magic styles are old school, maybe even antiquated parlour magic. I highly rate people such as Michael Vincent etc.I'm currently awaiting my Magic Circle exam date confirmation, and I love to share and gain knowledge from others. Thanks for having me!

Welcome RevConfused,

There is a certain charm in old school Parlor Magic.

Best of Luck (and preparation) for your Confirmation. Do you have to take on the name of a Sainted Magician?

Hi Paul,

Welcome to The Café. I agree with Mary. There's nothing wrong with old school parlour magic. Best of luck with your examination. Don't be too nervous, TMC magicians are a very friendly bunch. If you're local to Chelmsford then there is an excellent magic club near there. It's called Mid Essex Magical Society or MEMS for short. Their web site is www.midessexmagicalsociety.co.uk.

All the best

Michael.

Many thanks for the welcomes. I'm based in Yorkshire, Michael, so a tad far to travel to the club!
