A big HOWDY from North Carolina

[Helshawk]

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.

Welcome to the forum, Bill.  I used to visit North Carolina now and then - until recently, my mom lived just outside the Piedmont Triad, a half-hour drive from Winston-Salem.  She moved to South Carolina now - I'm hoping she doesn't get flooded out like what happened last year!
