Hello everyone!

My name is Luis Salas and I am a 20 year old waiter living in Oakville, Ontario. Born and raised in Venezuela. Moved to Canada at the age of 13. Practiced magic from the age of 10 up to 17 and then drifted into cardistry/collecting. Bill Malone was my inspiration and without a doubt one of my favourite magicians out there. Looked up to him and all his work while I was practicing magic. Proud to say that my deck collection is almost at 200 different decks. Varying from Golden Nuggets, to Split Spades, Wynn's, and of course the good old Ellusionist's classics like the Black Tiger deck. Ha. Love all kinds of cards. Fan of the Buck twins too! Looking forward to sharing some card thought with all of you and perhaps setting up a few trades here and there..

Can't wait to learn from the veterans and have them drop some wisdom on this youngin'!  8)

Happy New Year To All ! Wishing you good health and much success! All the best!

Cheers,

Luis Salas

You're in just the right place, my friend!  We were all newbies once so we go easy on them as they pop in.  If you have a question and the search function didn't help, go ahead and ask.  The people here are friendly and helpful.

Sounds like you had one interesting history!  Are you still into performing?  (Or have you ever performed?)

Well thank you! It's a pleasure to be here! I'll have to dig a little more on the site and prepare a set of questions once I'm ready.

Unfortunately I'm no longer performing. Life just took over I guess. But did perform many gigs couple years back.
There's still not a day that goes by in which I don't play with a deck of cards, but magic itself is something I've been missing lately.

Who knows.. New year, anything can happen..

Maybe Asher will fast track his Jerry's release to next month.. Ha!  ;)

Thank you for the welcome Tom. Wishing you and Judy a happy new year with only the best ahead.
Hopefully another local convention throughout the year. Until then.
