Default I guess I should do one of these

Hey everyone, I'm wyatt

I'm a hobbyist magician from Australia who's a bit sick of over commercialisation, *cough* theory11 *cough*. I like to practise things as meditation, so I guess sleight of hand magic found its way into my life someway or another. This may get a little embarrassing as I know he is a major part of this forum, but Mark inspires me the most, your work is just phenomenal, though David Blaine was my original inspiration. Glad to be a part of the forums.

Great

Hey man! Thanks a lot for joining and for the wonderful message. Glad to see you have the same mindset regarding the commercialization (hopefully not just because of me). I hope you still like David Blaine though.

I just took a peek at your videos by the way. Good stuff! I hope you're still working on the juggling while doing magic? You should be making an act combining the two perfectly.

Welcome, and I totally agree. Practicing with cards can be very meditative and therapeutic as well and Mark is very inspiring. Plus, the quality of material being taught here is pretty much a laugh in the face at those Hollywood instructional videos.

Haha, yes I do, in between piano, toss juggling, unicycle and poi spinning. I busk at a local farmers market with contact juggling quite regularly actually, and would absolutely love to be able to mix magic and contact. But at the moment I only have a few barely formed ideas, something to work on in the future. Input from anyone on what magic can be done with a 95mm solid ball would be greatly appreciated too.
