Hi everyone. I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
I'm in my 20's, live in Australia and study/work in IT. I've always enjoyed sleight of hand and close up magic, especially card magic. I started watching Scam School then Disturb Reality and wanted to learn how to do all these tricks and flourishes, when I saw all the different playing cards available I was instantly addicted. I love the artwork and the rarity of some decks.
I'm getting into cardistry as well and try to learn a new flourish or sleight every week, I have lots of Bicycle's I practice with as well as about 30 decks in my collection and a brick of doubles I haven't opened. My collection is on PCDB https://playingcarddb.com/mycollection?u=7187" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I'd also like to collect some vintage decks but I shouldn't even be buying as much as I am now
I've already learnt alot reading this forum lately and look forward to contributing and chatting with everyone.
