Due to me recently starting my Blog I thought I would discuss a little about how I started my life in magic.
I was a fairly late starter being about 13 I was introduced to magic via Paul Daniels magic show. Both me and my older brother Duncan dabbled and swapped ideas and tricks, read books etc. There came a time when being self taught was ok but I was fortunate to meet one of the greatest card magicians Mr Michael Vincent. Not only is Michael technically perfect but his high polished performances and attitude leaves everyone else standing. Now Michael lives in London and I live in Nottingham. However over about 10 years a friendship grew and every time I was going on holiday or worked in the capital I would ring Michael up for a coffee and a magic session. These sessions added to my performance than anything I could ever read. In 2005 I won the Nottingham Guild of Magician Trophy which I won a further two times.
I know I am fortunate, to have met so many great magician who have inspired me and I hope one day I can inspire someone else!
