New Guy

Unread post by wdt74 »

Hello interwebs community, my name is Bill I live outside the very cold and windy Chicago IL. I mostly got into sleight of hand/card magic to make my 4 children laugh and be amazed at the "magic" of it ,they are my only audience, and that's all that matters to me. I haven't dug seriously into it all, just a few videos from ellusionist or theory 11, honestly its all I have time for, but then again my audience is home bound (captive audience?), and happy with what I can do now.
Nice to meet everyone, seems like a great place for this community, Im happy Im here!

Welcome Bill, I'm from the state north of you where usually it's even colder!

Do you collect decks too yet or just focus on magic for now? Do anything with cardistry? I've wanted to experiment more with that, but haven't made the time to get beyond the basics.

I collected cards a little, pretty much for the art on them or just because I thought they would be fun.
Not much into cardistry aside from fans so I can do my best impression of a magician named Gob Bluth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMRA0r92iac" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. =)
I love Wisconsin, I used to live in Madison and way up in Mercer (by Ironwood MI), and I'm a Packers fan.
I pretty much like slights and other card magic, though I love collecting! I end up buying these nice cards and some I open and look at and nothing more, the rest sealed. I only use 2 different decks (ellusionist red tigers and a deck I got from the Bellagio casino) I guess Im saving up using them for when I get better.

LOL, I just loved Gob in Arrested Development! I miss that show, the new last season just wasn't the same and we only made it through a few episodes so far and haven't bothered to return to them.

Nice to see another Packer fan too! I haven't lived in Madison, but my brother does and I have season tickets for Badger football games with him so get down there quite often. :ugdance:

Gob is so dang funny! I agree the new stuff direct to Netflix was just not the stuff. I too watched a couple and I'm none watching it...
Madison is my favorite city Ive lived in ( Ive been to Chicago,Seattle, Phoenix, and Valparaiso IN ) has everything the big towns do, but you have a small town feeling, its nice.
State Street is the place! State Street Brats has been the best brat I ate anywhere...hands down!
I'm not a huge college fan, but when I lived in Madison I couldn't help getting caught up in Badger Football! Nice to have the tickets, its a party every game!!
