Hey guys,

I'm 25, and now I feel like I'm too old to be collecting cards

Nonsense. Some of the most amazing collections I have seen have been from people over 40.

skaclown · « **Reply #51 on:** November 15, 2011, 03:11:23 AM »

Hehe I know. It just seems that I started late.

I have a few decks that I bought 5 years ago but I really started collecting this year. Anyway, age doesn't mean anything around here

I just turned to 21 today!
I'm olddddddd. Hahaha.

A happy belated birthday to you!

Haritaipan, you're 21 and you feel that makes you old. I'm 41, but with the soul and mind of a teenager not old enough to drink OR drive, so in a sense, mentally, you are older than me.

So - you're one of the other two guys in my age bracket! (Age 44 here...) We're pretty rare - tied for rarest with the 12 and under crowd as of this post.

Yes, us older folks do collect cards and do performances of magic, XCM or both. I didn't even start seriously with magic until Christmas Eve of last year, and my card collection started the same time.

Would you guys quit calling early twenties "old?" It's anything but! I'm doing things at forty-four that I wouldn't have dreamed of at 21. I have a girlfriend who's a genuine soulmate (and will possibly become my second wife sometime next year), I practice a martial art and plan on testing for my black belt in April, I learned how to be more of a real magician as opposed to someone who knows how to fiddle with a stripper deck, I volunteer in a hospital and entertain the pediatric patients...

...and my life is maybe, but probably not quite, only HALF-WAY over, assuming I die of natural causes.

I've never been as happy and fulfilled in my entire life as I am now. I know there's some kidding around going on, but you make someone my age sound like a member of the "Over-the-Hill Gang" when I'm not even close to being so. (OK, closer than most of you, but still...)

AceGambit · « **Reply #61 on:** November 30, 2011, 09:55:36 AM »

Heh, way to put it into perspective. Really though, at 23, I'm actually jealous of the people on this board that are 12-15. I didn't start performing magic until I was 19. I wish I had the jump start on it that some of the people here do. I wish I had started when I was in High School. I'm looking back and imagining the fun I could have had with it had I been a performer while I was still in school.

Can you blame them though? Think back to when you were 12. When you met an 18-25 year old, it was like meeting your dad's friend.

I'm at that odd age right now where many of my dad's friends are the age that my friends are. I hang out with 30 year olds, and my dad hangs out with 28 year olds. It's awkward to say the least.

I'm 17 and I constantly use the phrase "Kids these days..."

Still - I remember the time when ellusionist released Bike Masters. That makes me feel oh so old.

Well, look at me - I started less than a year ago! I wish I started when YOU did!

Actually, until I got older myself I always hung out with older friends. My second steady girlfriend was just over twice my age! That doesn't bother me. It's when I check out nightclubs I used to go to and I'm just about the oldest living being in the room that I start to feel awkward...

I completely get what you're saying, but I'm a bad example. When I was 12 I DID hang out with my dad's friends, to the point where they became my friends. Now, at 23, I have friends still in high school, and I have friends my age, but the majority of my friends age between 30-50 (and boy do they love watching me perform!).

I think the older you are, the more you lose that feeling of wonderment you had as a young child, and the more you tend to appreciate magic.

Your posts alone contain more memes than I've seen on the whole forum so far...
...And it's pretty damn awesome.

Age is overrated to a certain extent. There's exceptions in every age group, but there's always the average that stands out.

Me Gusta! I happen to love the Memes! They are like Epic smilies!
Plus they keep me from aging. I'll forever be feeling like I'm 16! Ahahaha!

Rather than feeling like I'm younger, I prefer telling myself that age is maturity, and the rest is only a matter of how mad you are. And we're all mad here.
