Hello,
My name is Katherine, and I'm 22 years old. I mostly have been doing magic to entertain kids for a couple of minutes in passing, because I've had various part-time jobs around kids--so I really only know a hand-full of simple tricks that I've been practicing on and off for about 3 years. I'm interested in all sorts of magic, but only really know some card and coin tricks that I've picked up from various sources. I definitely consider myself a beginner, but lately I've had an increased desire to learn more. Other things of note about me: I really enjoy learning, music, science, people, motorcycles, and anything that gets my brain working. I also rather enjoy computers, the internet, and graphic-design. I'm currently a student working part-time at a local elementary school. My favorite pie is 3.14159[...], My favorite animal is anything with four legs and fur, I love root beer, but drink more water than anything, and enjoy star-gazing with my acoustic guitar.... I think that's about it... maybe... there's a lot to the person that is me. |

I think I am in Love. *smirk*
Hi Kat! I keep saying we need more ladies here, even if it means we have to clean the place up a bit! Maybe toss a new blanket on the beer can couch! So what is your best trick - Right now if I have to do a card trick I lean on a trick deck. I am better at building props then actually use them at the moment. Anyways there is alot to learn - Hope you enjoy your stay! -misj- |

My best trick is very simple, and I can do it with a borrowed deck. I get a victim--I mean volunteer--to pick a card and place it on top of the deck. Then after an overhand shuffle, I use a slight variation on the Charlier Cut to present the card. It entertains kids for a little bit.

Welcome to the madness!
I'm glad there is someone else out there that does magic to entertain children. Hope you check out the posts and make comments on them and join into the conversations. Harold

Welcome to Exomagic Kat, Magic is a wonderful hobbie that I hope youll keep practicing. There is so many stuff out there you can do that will amaze not only the kids, but adult too. I love to make people dream and think that magic may exist, to me thats the real magic. When my nephews say ''Encore oncle Sylvain'' this is the only real reward I want.
Keep dreaming, keep the magic alive! |

Hi, welcome to you
Sure it's nice to know another kid-entertainer is around. I perform only for kids at the moment because of lack of gigs, but I hope I'll get booted up again with an adult gig soon. Have a nice stay here. greetings, Owen Graven |
