How old were you...

[Mohawk]

Well, I am 40. (Yep......pretty darn old compared to most of you guys!!) I started learning when I was 37 (see the thread "How When and Why" for that story ) I don't do any actual paid performances, but I am a bouncer at a bar part time, and I do a lot of tricks for customers.

well, I started learning magic when I was 9. My uncle gave me a magic kit. Now, I am 14 and stronger than ever in magic.

My first real "public' performance was when I was 12. I was doing some street magic. that was when I decided to become a professional magician and have that be my career.

When I was around 10 or 11, I saw one of David Blaine's tricks and was instantly hooked.
