Everyone has a hobby of their own, you know--childish, stupid, whatever.

Yeah, I'm well aware that it would be called a hobby and that maybe people would like to fit such a thing into their life.

What I should have said is: I have a fulfilling enough life, and as such, do not need to perform tricks/illusions/whatever you want to call them.

Fair play to the people that enjoy it, keep on shufflin'.

That's better.

Hobby or profession. More and more young magicians are making their own DVD's and earning pretty good money. Places like Ellusionist.com or Penguinmagic.com sells all kinds of stuff and thousands will pay top price for good illusions.

Hell, I had a show of my own and earned some money in high school.

Are you trying to get people to buy stuff from those sites?

I like card tricks.

Hint: If you're doing a Penn and Teller trick, and your card is the 3 of clubs, they made it that card.

Penn and Teller are great. It's tricky!

Wow thats cool, but only a slight of hand where he puts the chosen card amongst the two before the revelation. Amazing how they do it that fast.
