My name is Bill and my posting name comes from a character in a book I wrote.  I love all types of art, not just language arts.  I am a part-time magician and my regular gig is an elementary school art teacher.  My introduction to magic were the card tricks my uncle showed me and, therefore, I will always hold card magic as a special love.  I have recently started to collect them (about 4 years ago, if you can call the recent).  Have a couple ideas for some card designs and hope to glean some words of wisdom from fellow card lovers and see what  cool artwork appears here.
