  • "Why go through the world unnoticed?" -

  • YouTube:
Hello there! I'm Krystle (lara), I'm 22 (or was it 23) years old. I'm from the Philippines but I will be based in Beijing, China (again) this Feb 17/18 onward. Truth be told I only found out about cards (magic) back in 2008 via "ex boyfriend <-- dont want to talk about it)". 

Anyway I was not much of a magician because I didn't like the idea of talking while performing. I co-founded a small magic group/club and became its webmaster/manager/video editor blah blah blah and the likes. Hanging out with the group, of course, I eventually learned a few things here and there. What I really liked the most was Card Manipulation. It fascinated me, I've never seen 52 pieces of paper being handled that way. IT WAS AMAZING!!!



Anyhu, because of my fascination on this art form, it came with a want and a need to have the right ammunition. CARDS.... Lots and LOTS of CARDS ( and bragging rights that came along when you get a hold of that rare deck). So yeah. I don't have much right now because when I broke up with the "dude" I left most of mine at his place and I really dont want to get it back.

So I'm starting fresh.
Together with Kensei777 (<---- <3 <3 <3), I'm in the process of collecting cards. :)
I saw him browsing around this forums and it caught my interest so i decided to join in as well and learn from the masters. :P


So here I am. Please be kind. :(

I do apologise for the extremely girlish post though.

Krystle Welcome to the boards, and I got to say that post was very appealing with the purple I liked that a lot. You also gave a description of yourself that's longer than 2-3 sentences. Well nice to meet you and enjoy the boards.

Welcome to the Discourse Krystal! :)
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

I used to manage forums back then and I was the pickiest when it came to introductions. I was like a Intro Nazi (am I allowed to say that?)

I can't wait to get to know everyone here! I'm sure all of you are a bunch of fun and crazy people. =^-^= <nyan)

I don't think people will mind. It's like the "Soup Nazi" on Seinfeld. No one, not even the majority of his Jewish viewers found it offensive. We generally aren't very strict about stuff like that :)

No problem at all, we definitely need more of that in the community. ;)
Besides, purple happens to be my favorite color. ::)

Haha, the rainbow is a bit hard on the eyes but it does add a nice touch of color to the forum, and it's easy enough to highlight it for visibility so I wouldn't really mind. ;)

Your intro mentioned an interest in card manipulation... I'll assume you're refering to flourishing/cardistry/whatever people like to call it. How advanced are you at it?

Yeah I love XCM, but I have to admit i'm not that far along with the art. I decided to stop last April 2011 because of a bad breakup with a magician. on a scale of 1-10 10 being the highest light bone ho, virts, GAMBIT and VOLDEMORT . I'd honestly rate myself a 4. I do plan on having another go at it once I leave for Beijing, China. The weather conditions there are PERFECT!! Cool and Dry most of the year. Little to no sweating on cards!

A tiny bit of moisture on the fingertips can be a plus in some situations. It makes Angel easier, for example.
I'm not very advanced either, I'm a beginner actually, but we all get better with time and practice.

If it's of any help, you can easily consider cardistry and magic two different, almost unrelated things. Especially in the case of general magicians, where cards aren't a priority as much as the tricks themselves. ;)

yeah they are two different things but can be incorporated with each other. The "ex" taught me the basics and gave me "Born to Perform" But yeah that is all in the past.
in the meantime... Kensei777 <-- my current really encourages me me and its really nice. Gave me a whole bunch of videos he had bought that he no longer needs. Like Gen 1 and others which I've never gotten the time to really watch.

:)

I was in the middle of a project I so dubbed as "Cardistry Le femme" back then. So i guess I should start on it again. :)

I have Genesis V1, the explanations in it are really great and there's plenty of moves to get started. I'm working on the Carnahan fan right now, I already know some of the most basic moves but I'll be working on the rest eventually.

What a lucky guy, finding someone who's genuinely interested in cards and a good match can't be easy. ::)
