Long time lurker, first time poster.
32 years old. Engaged. CT. Grew up wanting to be magician, that never happened, but I'm currently putting together a walkaround set and working on one liners to go along with it. The first trick I was ever taught is also my 4 year old's favorite trick. She gets to be a volunteer and she likes to tell the story of the 4 kings as we do it. Some of my best childhood memories were magic shows; Blackstone, David Copperfield, Ronald McDonald, the clown that came into my pre-school and pulled a banana from a kid's dad and had the kid next to me hold a coin tightly in his hand until he left, which then disappeared. Mostly do cards, but have everything I need to get into coins and mentalism. Want to eventually get into some intermediate cardistry. Thinking about starting a YouTube channel for honest trick reviews. The sense of humor I use is a mixture of self-deprecation and faux-arrogance. Yup, that's me in a magical nutshell. |

Welcome AlexTheAlrightandOK,
Most Magicians are better off as part timers. It lets you enjoy the Magic more with less pressure to make a living. I used to be a clown wrangler for Ronald McDonald (OK, roady). It was great fun even though I started with a mild clown phobia. I got over it and really enjoyed watching the fun that surrounded Ronald. Cards are way easier than coins for me (at least on an intermediate level). -Mary Mowder |

The first time I saw him it was at a fair and I got to be a volunteer for the invisible ball and paper bag and the second time he was at the mall, held up a huge tooth brush, asked everyone what it was for and I think I cracked my first joke... a 7 year old yelling "A big mouth!" lol I YouTube searched RM to see if I could find the same guy, especially an older recording... but it gave me a really bad (and possibly drunk) Ronald on a local news station performing for kids... and boy was it cringe-worthy. Did you ever come through CT (USA)? |

No, I was only working with Ronald in Northern CA.
