Hello all, I have been trying to learn some easy beginner magic lately, mostly coin vanishes, rubber band tricks, and some cup gimicks, but it has been very fun. Does anyone else here do magic, or even like it at all? I know most people find it goofy or obnoxious, even people I do it for at work, but I always appreciate the ones that indulge my tricks, and on the times when I get a genuine baffled reaction from them, or great reactions from kids that come through the area, it is a great rush. I hope to find some fellow fans on here...
Cheers.

My friends brother has been doing magic for many years. Mostly at parties & stuff. He's good, but really annoying.

I was a high ranking member of The Alliance of Magicians until around 2003 when a local reporter revealed the secret behind one of my star illusions, and I was subsequently kicked out.

That sucks you were kicked out. You must be an amazing magician. I am only with the basics, but trying my own spin on things within that realm. God bless youtubers like Sankey and Brushwood for teaching the techniques, even though I know they aren't liked in the community for giving stuff away. I was fascinated by David Blaine's stunts, especially the ice block challenge back in the day, and it created my love for being fooled.

He would always make me watch his routine of tricks while he had the James Bond theme playing in the background. It's probably the reason I dislike James Bond films so much.

I enjoy watching a good magician who has an entertaining presentation. Big fan of the Penn and Teller: Fool Us show. Unfortunately some of the magic of magic has been lost on me thanks to that show and the internet. I want to know what the hell Penn is talking about when he tries to figure out a trick and end up on Youtube watching how to videos that reveal all the secrets.

I think my mirror may hate me for the same reason...lol. I enjoy watching a good magician who has an entertaining presentation. Big fan of the Penn and Teller: Fool Us show.

Not really, but I own three seasons of Mindfreak on DVD and found this Penn and Teller special really interesting

As a teen I enjoyed magic tricks & when I got older I found it annoying. (Annoying is the prefect word for it.) Most magicians (known or not) I’ve met have been a$$holes. They take their craft to personal if you aren’t amazed by what they showed you.

I also choose the audience that enjoys it, most of the time.

I know a few card tricks for parties, but that's the extent of it.

Newsted bad guy™I dig card tricks too, but I want to destroy decks to do some fun tricks, and that seems like a lot of money to burn right now. plus, card tricks take time, and most of my magic is at work, and I only get like a minute or 2 to bust one out. Do yall do any cardistry? I think that is a beautiful art.
