I've realised after being here for a few months that I haven't actually done an introduce yourself topic yet. So... I'm Adrian and I'm 18 living in Australia. My passion for magic started when I was 4 with my step brother showing me the sliding thumb trick.
Several books later and into my early high school years around 2007-2008 I discovered ellusionist and theory 11. Unfortunately my parents weren't too keen on the whole magic thing so I missed out on a lot of things and learnt via some twins a few grades above me who were very good with magic and cardistry. Upon being able to purchase some decks from the twins whenever they made their orders online, I got myself some Masters decks and some ghosts, and they are still some of my favourite decks to date; the stock just makes everything seem so much nicer.
Around the start of my 2nd last year of school I lost interest in all things cards, only to rediscover my passion during my 1st semester at university/college (whichever part of the world you're in). It's been a great journey since I've started back up again, and the deck collecting part... well lets just say I've spent a lot of money in a matter of months accumulating the decks I so yearned to own back in the day
And yeah. See you round.
Adrian
