Hey, whats up guys. My name is Adam (but my friends call me "Knobz" since my last name is Knoblich) and I am from Chicago, IL Just a brief story about how I got into magic and playing cards. I got started in magic when I was about 8 years old. Loved watching the magic specials they would have on TV back in the day starring David Copperfield, Max Maven, Bill Malone, Penn & Teller, etc... Got my first magic kit from toys-r-us (crazy how I remember this like it was just yesterday) and started by amazing my family. The internet wasn't too crazy back then so I got started in card magic by renting books from the library. A few years later a man by the name of David Blaine had a TV special and after watching it, it changed my life with magic forever. David really impacted me with what he was doing on the streets with people and from then on I never looked back. My passion is card magic but lately I have been trying to incorporate a variety of closeup magic. This way I have a little bit for everyone and I basically just make myself stand out a little more than just a card guy. I consider myself just an amateur/hobbyist magician. I am too busy working 2 jobs and going to nursing school to go professional or anything like that. Magic and Medical are my passions right now, so I'm working on trying make time for both them (hate to say it but medical is taking all my time). I also started collecting cards a few years ago. My collections has been growing substantially this year while my wallet has not. Go figure that. So I'm sure you guys will start seeing more of me on here. I just became a member a few days ago and have already learned some things about playing cards and am now a backer for the Vortex Deck, which I am exited about! I love playing cards so I'm sure I will fit right in. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this. I will see you guys on the forums : )
