How did you get into card magic / cardistry?

[Auphori]

I got into it by just getting into shuffling and dealing ect.. at college, then I started learning tricks & flourishes and seriously got interested.

My father really. He used to do the card magic and i did the coins, but this was all when i was younger. I never really got in to card until i was like 19 or so. I knew card tricks and flourishes as a kid but was never reaslly into it, i thought they were too difficult to be able to controla whole deck but now its the exact opposite, i never knew it was this easy as long as you practice. I dont think i'll ever leave magic ever again.

Yea, when I started I found it amazing how well some people could handle cards, but now I know all it takes is practice.

One day my dad talked about magic out of no where, then showed me a tenkai palm. He never told me how it was done and I was instantly hooked.

I needed a confidence boost, school was tough for me - loss of friends and reputation. I like to think cards and sleight of hand technique made me the person I am today.

Now that i look back at it. I've found that those moves aren't that hard. But when i first saw the video i thought it was impossible.

my sisters boyfriend taught me the key card principle, and from there i just loved magic. i was never into card magic until about a year ago.

I remember that watching that video. I got into cardistry because of it.

My friend introduced me. He was always doing magic, and one day I brought a deck of cards, and it went on from there

I was hit by a two card monte and that's the start of it all. =)
