Hi everyone,

I'm Steve, and I'm thrilled to join this community.

Over the years, I've drawn immense inspiration from Tommy Wonder, Eugene Burger, Max Maven, David Roth, Steve Forte, Allan Ackerman, Fred Kaps, Jason England, Bill Malone, Marlo, Vernon, Houdini, and many more.

My main focus is on close-up magic and gambling routines, though I occasionally dabble in coin tricks... favorites include Dean Dill's "No Extras" and David Roth's "Hanging Coins" depending on the situation.

Once in a great while, I also perform a mentalism effect, often Dan Harlan's "All Seeing Eye," where I have the spectator write down a poker hand or something else card-related.

Additionally, I'm an avid bird enthusiast and have befriended several crows, magpies, and jackdaws. As a result, I end up spending a small fortune on unsalted peanuts!

I'm looking forward to engaging with all of you and hope to contribute meaningfully to the forum.

Warm regards,

— Steve

Great to make your acquaintance, Steve. I'm a magic student (though older than most any "student's" age) and look forward to hearing more about your journey and others' on this forum as I continue on my path to the bunny in the sky!
