Hi everyone,

I'm Winston from Singapore and I've been cubing on and off for 5 years or so. I’ve been rather inactive on the forum but I'm really keen to find out whether there are any professional or hobbyist magicians around here! Just a little introduction - I picked up close-up sleight-of-hand card magic a couple of years back after seeing a Colour Change video by blah on this forum. I only got really interested around February last year though, after a friend taught me the ACR which sparked my interest for magic again.

Upon completion of the 'A' Levels examination in November last year, I started practicing seriously and have since moved on to coin, cups and balls magic earlier this year. I’ve also been seizing opportunities to perform card routines (Biddle Trick, a short ACR, Three card monte etc) for friends and family, and I enjoyed the mini performances immensely. I’ve learnt around 10 routines to date and have been practicing them for a while; however, I hope to perform publicly when I become proficient. :)

Anyway, I've been really fascinated by YouTube videos of the great magicians performing, and would like to expand my social circle of magicians. I only know a handful of magicians, and I’ve been lurking around the Magic Café and the local forum but am unable to join at the moment as I use a non-paid email. Nevertheless, I would be really glad if I could come across like-minded people on this forum! I do remember coming across a cuber-magician on YouTube some time back, but I'm not sure if he's still into magic/cubing. Feel free to post here if you’re interested in getting into magic, an amateur like me, or a hobbyist/professional magician. Looking forward to hear from you guys! Thank you! :D

(P.S: I haven't found a page discussing magic on this forum; do let me know if there's already one. Thanks!)
 
I have taken an interest in magic tricks in the past, although I'm more interested in watching than doing, as my interest didn't press me enough to buy all the props needed. I learnt a few little sleight of hand tricks, although I never got that good at them.
