Post by: Kanped on October 05, 2011, 04:46:04 PM: Well, I learned my first trick about 20 years ago... and my second about 5 months ago. I've been interested in magic (particularly trying to work out how it's done) pretty much my whole life but I've only gotten into it quite recently. I've taken an interest in cheating moves and I'm working my way through Erdnase at the minute.

Post by: Curt on October 05, 2011, 05:24:16 PM: About 5 years ago I started practicing magic. Managed to land a few paid gigs but as I have grown older my real focus has turned on collecting and mechanics. I like to fiddle with cards when doing other stuff, like watching tv or studying, so it does not bother me to practice a difficult slight over and over until I get it right. I also enjoy being able to do difficult slights that other magicians can't do, compared to just buying a gimmick that everyone can use. Collecting is just a way for me to add art to my walls.... plus I enjoy trying to find deals on rare/vintage decks, makes it like a treasure hunt.

Post by: Evan on October 06, 2011, 05:40:18 PM: Wow! Nice! Good luck learning cardistry! have fun
Title: Re: How long have you been a Magician, Collector, Flourisher, or Other?
Post by: loldudex2 on October 06, 2011, 05:49:48 PM: Well I guess technically, I've done small little tricks that everyone knew how to do since I was 5. I'd get little crappy magic kits, but only recently have I invested good money in tricks and started performing for my friends.

When I started flourishing it was too hard, but after a while I enjoyed it more and more, maybe you enjoy it after a while, too :D
