This is my diary of magic. A daily discussion of my experience studying the techniques, methods and effects found in various books on magic. In future installments I will discuss mentalism as well. There is a bridge between these subjects that should be explored. I'm starting out with the first installment from The 'Card College' series volumes 1 through 5, by the accomplished author, Roberto Giobbi. Join me on this journey. It's going to be challenging, insightful, and fun. Wish me luck!
