Title: Hello from Germany! :)
Post by: xCrYsTaL on December 03, 2015, 10:21:47 AM

Hello guys,

my name is Raphi I am 17 years old I'm from Germany and going to school there.
My favorite decks are the Madison Rounders, Bicycle Arch Angels (white) and the Artisan Black Edtion.
I am a big fan of Daniel Madison and Gianni Vox the skills of these artist are a big motivation and inspiration for me.
As sad as it is i am not the best magician but i try my best to learn them, I really like to collect decks.
In my collection are about 80 decks , as you already know im a student and i dont have my own income but i give my best to make my collection bigger :)
My rarest deck is a Signed by David Blaine 1st Edition Split Spades wich i am pretty proud of, my dad gifted it to me when i came back from a business trip to NYC.
In my freetime i like to shuffle cards and learn new tricks and I am a hobby GFX-Designer and I want to do it as my job in the future.
I hope i can show you some of my things I made and see what you think of it in the future
Before i started to do any things with cards i was a pretty sucessful gamer, I made my way up to the best leagues in Germany but now i stopped playing computergames because my team
split up and i want to spend my freetime on other things now.  :D
From now on i will be active in this forum and i hope i will have a great time with you guys :))
If you have any questions about me feel free to ask me any time.

Hey, Raphi!

Welcome to the boards.  If you think collecting modern decks is fun, wait until you discover VINTAGE decks...  :))

Feel free to ask questions - sometimes the search function doesn't work as well as I'd like.

Hi Ralph welcome to the Forum  :D interesting how you changed from computer gaming to card magic. I was in similar boat, I was into a few games but I stopped all that since I got into card collecting and magic.

Don is right collecting modern decks is super fun!! but till now I dare NOT to collect vintage decks.. my profession won't be able to handle the bill, but maybe someday I will get into it as well  :P
