Hi I've started with card magic one year ago after seeing Albert's ego change tutorial. I was borred at work and when I saw the change, I had to learn it. One year later I have cards everywhere; at work, in my car, living room, ... . It's very addictive, because a lot of moves are really hard and when you are finally able to do it clean, it gives a real satisfaction boost.

Extra info: I work part-time as a graphic artist and part-time as a graffiti artist.

peace

@Markoviner: well, I 'started' in july 2010.. so almost a year. But I'm building up slowly from the basics (controlling cards, basic (false) shuffels, sybil cut, one handed revolution, double lifts..). That's the hardest part not trying to go to fast and knowing wich moves you should learn first.

When I was little I wanted to become a magician (and a pilot and William Tell). At a family party there was a magician who saw my aunt in 2 pieces with a chainsaw. I thought that was pretty cool!
But now it's only cards that I'm interested in...
