Sorry to hear about your experience of being heckled.  I personally find it hard to see why a person shouldn't like magic. Although I have, in the past, encountered people who claimed not to, they haven't made it clear why this…

Why are you performing?

Last night I visited a relatives to have something to eat and drink with family and friends. After the food I ended up performing some magic which led on to an interesting conversation. One person there tried to make my life hell. That wasn't a problem, I dealt with her in my usual way. Afterwards she tried excusing her bad manners and behaviour by saying she doesn't like magic.This led to an interesting conversation. Initially it was about what she didn't like about magic. She made some silly…See More

Nic Castle replied to ashley acton's discussion 'GOOD DECKS'
Personally I use bicycle cards. They handle well, they are now known as a brand of cards in the UK due to the expansion of poker. So most people accept them as normal cards. In addition to that if you want a specialist deck or gimmicked cards they…

Corindas 13 Steps is the best book for learning Mentalism. You can get it from the Magic World Shop. As for Hypnosis, you have a subject that everyone has their own views on. I would recomend hypnosis without trance. It is a website with a lot of…

About Me
I started practicing magic as part of my recovery from an accident. I am probably classed as a close-up magician, but recently I have been playing with mentalism.

Prior to joining what I feel is one of the best groups of people I have met I was involved in Drama and taught it in drama groups and even at the school I attended many years ago. Now I am obsessed with magic and owe a lot to it.

I am involved with photography and horses so I am ver lucky although I would call myself an amatuer magician I do perform walk about magic at events around the country

Mentalism - NLP ?

I did not start out in magic learning mentalism, I started with cards and coins. Whilst in my last job I completed a Phd which covered communication.
