Title: Hm. So.
Post by: nicknamehere on February 01, 2013, 02:11:04 AM
I think I did something like this once. Then I returned to lurking forever.

So I'm Stephanie and I operate from southern California. I started as a cardist when I was in high school and evolved to parlor tricks along the way. I stopped for a while for various reasons and then when I took it up again in college, I proceeded to sprain both my thumbs consecutively (huehuehue). Magic's always been in the back of my mind ever since I started though, so I decided to try for it again now that my academic workload seems like it's not trying to kill me. I'm trying to be a magician with some cardistry skills and I have a fondness for collecting playing cards and other paraphernalia of the vices.

I found this place while I was hunting for information on some decks and found that not only do card collectors have their own little hole, this place has an entire category dedicated to designing decks which I am totally going to stalk. I also wanted to see the pictures in the threads. They're very nice pictures.

Did I cover everything?

Stephanie, I'm glad to have you aboard.  I'm also pleased that you decided to break with lurking (again) and join in the festivities!  It sounds to me like you've got a lot to offer the community, and they'll happily reciprocate.  Not only that, but the guys tend to behave better when there's a woman around!  :))  (Women are definitely the driving force behind civilization, emphasis on the civil!)  So make yourself at home, and remember that the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask.  If there's anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, just contact one of the other mods or me and we'll do what we can to help you.
