Hey Auzzy Dee. First of all I love your stage name its really really CATCHY!!! Something I will be able to remember. :)

Anyway Welcome to the Forums! We're all glad to have you with us. There are a lot of magicians here that you can definitely network with! Some of them post their facebook links on their profiles. I used to delve into magic tricks but I get too nervous! hahah! What is your favourite effect at the moment? And which Magician do you look up to at the moment? 

Overall my favourite is of course Cyril Takayama!

Anyway there are lots of material here in the forums for you to pursue your magical hobby. Just use the SEARCH function if you are in search of a particular effect or topic. :) Oh and should you have any questions and/or concerns feel free to PM us (admins/mods) we are more than happy to help you out.

So again Warm welcome to the boards!

xoxo
Lara

Hey Alex
Thanks a lot!


Thanks Don (Not Dan ;) )
Happy New Year to you too!


Lara, thanks for the kind words and the warm welcome.
I do a lot of children parties and I found that the card tricks I was doing went over their heads, or they couldn't remember their card. So I got out of the card magic that I really enjoyed, and did more visual stuff. A few months ago I was hired to table hop at a restaurant and started busting out my card tricks again.

The one trick I love doing at the time being is one where I write down a prediction, have the spectator choose a card, then reveal the prediction to find out I was wrong. I hold a lighter to it, and it changes to their selected card. I am sure there is a name for this, but it has slipped my mind.

I really enjoy Brian Brushwood as well as Penn and Teller.

Thanks so much!

Austin :)

8 of clubs to 3 of spades :).
I loved the "tool" used for the effect so much I actually used it for most of my school work.

Shz. It is a great effect. I like to change it up and do other numbers, and words instead of 8 to 3, but the 8 to 3 works so well.

It is a wonderful tool!

Welcome to the Discourse (did you know Discourse comes from the Latin: discursus, meaning “running to and fro”)

Probably has a lot to do with the Roman version of instant messaging, a.k.a. very fast couriers...
