Haha, old is such a powerful word.... but its sort of true.. I am turing 20 relatively soon, and that seems like a much older age than 19. Drinking age in BC is 19 anyway so nothing special about being 20, just seems like a way older age.

I think the real grow up point is not the age, but the things one do.
For me, I can call myself grow up when I was 18, not because of the age, but it's the time I have to study aboard and live alone. It changes me a lot.

Paul Carpenter · « **Reply #25 on:** October 17, 2011, 11:24:23 AM »

I've noticed that most of the card related fields are dominated by the younger folks. I guess that when I was kid I had a lot more time to devote to stuff like learning tricks and cardistry (though of course, way back then there was no cardistry as we know it today). Just wish I'd followed up on my interest then.

When you are married, have two kids, full time job and freelance on the side it gets a lot harder to sit there for hours figuring out how to do a Sybil.

True, but there are always down times in life, even if you go weeks without having them. Practice while you watch TV. Heck, practice when you take your kids to the movies. Practice while you cook. Whenever you walk by a deck, pick it up, do one or two flourishes, and set it back down again.

By no means is it easy, but nothing is impossible.

It's funny how the web is dominated by the "younger" folk (25 and under) but I honestly believe that the vast majority of magicians (not just professionals), card manipulators, and card enthusiasts are well over the age of 30.

When I remember who I was at 14 I can honestly say I was a better human being in every sense of the word than at least some of the people I have a displeasure of knowing who are 20-30.

Some 13 year olds act 30, and some 30 year olds act 13 (see: man who baked baby in oven to teach it a lesson).

Would you guys quit calling early twenties "old?" It's anything but! I'm doing things at forty-four that I wouldn't have dreamed of at 21. I have a girlfriend who's a genuine soulmate (and will possibly become my second wife sometime next year), I practice a martial art and plan on testing for my black belt in April, I learned how to be more of a real magician as opposed to someone who knows how to fiddle with a stripper deck, I volunteer in a hospital and entertain the pediatric patients...

...and my life is maybe, but probably not quite, only HALF-WAY over, assuming I die of natural causes.

I've never been as happy and fulfilled in my entire life as I am now. I know there's some kidding around going on, but you make someone my age sound like a member of the "Over-the-Hill Gang" when I'm not even close to being so. (OK, closer than most of you, but still...)

Can you blame them though? Think back to when you were 12. When you met an 18-25 year old, it was like meeting your dad's friend.

I'm at that odd age right now where many of my dad's friends are the age that my friends are. I hang out with 30 year olds, and my dad hangs out with 28 year olds. It's awkward to say the least.

Actually, until I got older myself I always hung out with older friends. My second steady girlfriend was just over twice my age! That doesn't bother me. It's when I check out nightclubs I used to go to and I'm just about the oldest living being in the room that I start to feel awkward...

I completely get what you're saying, but I'm a bad example. When I was 12 I DID hang out with my dad's friends, to the point where they became my friends. Now, at 23, I have friends still in high school, and I have friends my age, but the majority of my friends age between 30-50 (and boy do they love watching me perform!).

I think the older you are, the more you lose that feeling of wonderment you had as a young child, and the more you tend to appreciate magic.

I feel like a young 38!

I got married to my college sweetheart right after graduating, divorced after a few years and moved to San Francisco.

After working for a great design firm in San Fran and meeting my wife, Susan, we decided to start a family and moved back to the midwest (I'm from Michigan). I get to work from home with the same San Fran firm and Susan is a stay-at-home mom. We've been in Indianapolis for almost 5 years and love it! We have a 4 year old girl, Violet and a 2 year old boy, Aaron. Like Good@Sabacc, I feel younger than I did over a decade ago!!

thanks, Randy

So what was it like, having a front-row seat to the SuperBowl hoopla?

We live out in the 'burbs so it wasn't too crazy in our area. We went downtown last Sunday and checked out the Super Bowl Village and did the NFL Experience at the Convention Center. It was crazy! There were a ton of people everywhere, but it was a lot of fun. I thought it was packed for GenCon but that was nothing compared to the NFL Experience. My daughter got to meet some New Orleans Saints Cheerleaders so she was pretty giddy about that and my son just loved being able to throw around the football and goof off.

The term might not have existed when I was younger, but old man strength did - it just never had a name. You just knew that the older guy stood better odds in a physical contest than the younger one, unless the younger guy was built like a pro linebacker.

Actually, my category has grown dramatically since I signed up. When this topic was started, there were perhaps two, maybe three - now there's eleven.

Trivial fact: my age group makes up only about 8% of the people polled. I alone have created about ~~12%~~ (correction, now it's 13.15%) of all the posts on this board - (more than) one out of every eight!

It is curving more, but it's still a bit lopsided. The three top age segments are still ages 15-25, as they have been since the poll started. I do notice, however, significantly more older members than before.

After all this time, the Bell curve is finally shifting more noticeably - the median used to be younger and the curve itself has grown wider. In the early days, those teen groups were the biggest and it dropped off quickly from there - I was one of only two or three people in my (older) age group.
