I'm Zeta (Jose Luis), from Ourense
Hey everyone! I've always loved magic since I was a kid, though I didn't get "serious" about it until I was 33 (I'm 42 now). I'm really more of a close-up magician, but in small groups among friends, acquaintances, and very occasionally, even strangers. I worked in a pub for many years, which really encouraged me to perform close-up magic (when it wasn't too busy) and to want to learn more and keep discovering new things every day. Even though I love card magic, I perform all sorts of disciplines (some better than others, haha). And that's all for now! Cheers to all!

Hey everyone!
Hello from Spain! I've just joined this great family. I'm a 33-year-old who's been fascinated by magic since I was a kid. That's why I've decided to take the plunge (better late than never!) into the amazing world of magic. A few months ago, I got a Fournier 505 deck, but I recently read that they're not the best cards to start with. Given that setback, I've bought a Bicycle Rider Back deck (from this site, of course) and I'm eagerly awaiting its arrival, itching to really kick things off. I also know 5 or 6 mathematical tricks, but I really don't want to rely solely on those. Any tips? All help is welcome!

Hey! Introducing myself, from Chile!
Hey everyone! My name is Ariel, from Santiago, Chile. I got into magic when I was about 10 years old (I'm 27 now), thanks to Edward Norton's movie *The Illusionist*, haha, and a Borras magic set I got as a gift. I started out with card magic, then moved on to some effects like Mesika's Venom or other tricks with some gimmicks. I took a break a few years ago, but now I've gotten my hands on a deck of cards and I'm really enjoying getting back into this world. I'm fascinated by tech magic, things like the Tarántula, Venom, or effects from Maggie Factory. Lately, I've been really drawn to self-working tricks, like "Ask the Deck!" I hope to keep learning this art! Cheers! ♣️♦️

Hey everyone!
I'm looking to buy some Juggler Marble, but I can't find them at Magia y Cardistry.
Could anyone tell me where to get them? Thanks, and long live magic!

Hey Magigram community, I'm from Colombia, and I "specialize" in card magic, even though I'm just a kid who does casual magic for friends, family, and stuff. And I'm pretty good at it, especially considering I've never had any guided training in magic. That said, I wouldn't say I'm the best magician in my city, but I hope that, over time and with the help of this community, I can really take my skills to the next level.
That's all for now, thanks!

Greetings, fellow magicians! 🎭✨
It's a true pleasure to introduce myself to this incredible community. I specialize in children's and family shows, and my greatest passion is creating magical moments that will be remembered by young and old alike.
Ever since I discovered the art of magic, I've dedicated myself to perfecting my technique and, most importantly, to connecting emotionally with my audience. Every show is a new adventure, every child's smile is the best reward, and every round of applause reminds me why I love this craft so much.
But magic, as we all know, isn't just what we do on stage - it's also what we share among ourselves. That's why I'm here: to learn from your experiences, exchange ideas, collaborate on projects, and, above all, be an active part of this wonderful community of artists.
I firmly believe that together we can create even more memorable shows, innovate our routines, and elevate the standard of children's and family magic. I'm open to collaborations, advice, and any opportunity to grow alongside all of you.
Let's make some magic together! 🚀🎩
How about we start by sharing? I'd love to hear what you're most passionate about in magic and what projects you're currently working on.
A magical embrace to all!

Hi, I'm Victor.
Thanks for letting me join this magic community.
I live in Madrid, I'm pushing seventy, and I've always been interested in magic, but I couldn't really pursue it until I retired.
Since then, I've taken several courses at Julio Ribera's and Ana Tamariz's school, and I'm a member of an Illusionists Club.
I'm interested in all types of magic, especially card magic and coin magic.
I've read and practiced from many books, but always by myself. Now it's time for me to learn from others and finally share what little knowledge and skill I have to help out.
Magical wishes,

Good morning, I'm Paco, though many call me Pakitus.
I live in Valencia, and magic has always fascinated me, but I'd never really gotten around to studying it. About two weeks ago, I stumbled upon a video by Julio on YouTube, and ever since, all I've been doing is watching videos and trying to learn. The problem is figuring out where to start in an organized way, because I can't get my palms right, the sleights are tough, I can't even do a Riffle Shuffle, let alone a Faro.
I'm thinking about buying Canuto's book to see if that makes it easier to get started, while I wait for "How to be a Magician 3.0." Any advice on how to start studying and practicing in an organized way would be greatly appreciated. So far, I have some Bicycle Supreme Line cards and a Svengali deck that I'm practicing with. Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone, how's it going? My name is Nicolás, I'm 37 years old, and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I've been involved in this beautiful world of magic for 5 years now.
I learned so much thanks to Julio's courses (he's the best teacher!).
I'd love to make a living from this, even though I have some things to work on, like getting over my shyness so I can really create
that sense of wonder in people.
I have tons of ideas to share.
If you want, you can find me on social media as @nsmagicx.
Actually, I'm going to share a gift with all of you: I created a TikTok filter a while back, and you can use it whenever you like.
It's a prediction. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Cheers everyone!

Hey everyone!
Thanks so much for having me in the group. My name is Bottesi, and I've recently started fabricating props, furniture, and tools for the world of magic. I'm a goldsmith and silversmith, and I also work with wood. Lately, I've been custom-building seance tables for close-up magic. Obviously, I can't show off my work due to client confidentiality. But I wanted to introduce myself, get my name out there, and offer help to anyone who has an effect in mind but lacks the means to bring it to life.
It's a pleasure to meet you all.

Hey everyone, I've been exclusively into card magic for about 3 months, and I'd like to perfect my card magic and learn new types of magic.
Really eager to learn and get started with this club!!

Hey everyone! :3 I'm new here. My name is Joaca, and I've been doing magic for 2 years. I'm 20 years old, and I'd love to connect with other magicians to share ideas and a lot more.

Hey everyone,
My name is Raúl, and after many years away from the magic community, I've decided to get back into the swing of things in forums. I picked this spot because I see it's really active, with people eager to share and contribute.
Back in the day, I was part of the old forum La Dama Inquieta, which I have fond memories of. I'm sure I'll find that same sense of community here.
I'm an amateur card magician. I don't do it professionally, but I really enjoy performing effects for family and friends. I'm especially passionate about everything related to naturalness in the execution and presentation of tricks, beyond just pure technique.
I hope to contribute my two cents by participating in discussions and also learning from what you all share.
Warm regards from Barcelona.

Hey everyone,
I'm Diego León, writing from Montevideo, Uruguay.
I've always loved magic.
But life took me down a different path.
Now, as I'm nearing retirement, and with the incredible knowledge-sharing tool that is the internet, I'm finally diving into this world.
Always with the intention of pursuing it strictly as a hobbyist, for friends and family.
I'm looking forward to reading all your posts!
Thanks for having me!
