My name is Eric and I've been running 21ace for many years now. I always carry poker chips with me because they help keep me patient when I am waiting for things (bus to come, line to end etc). There are always times throughout the day when I have a chance to get the chips out and experiment with different tricks. Most of our members have an interest in chip tricks, poker, card tricks or all of the above. Feel free to introduce yourself and join in on the discussions in our forums! Mon Sep 19, 2005 2:03 pm Thuzle 4 Of A Kind Joined: 28 Jul 2004 Posts: 94 Location: Irvine, CA My name is Cedar, I play poker and enjoy the size and feel of poker chips for Coin Manipulations. I am an amateur at most things, but enjoy playing the cards, coins and other sets of magic.Every so often I pop into the 21Ace Chat Room to check who is there Gambling sleights brought me into the world of magic, and my focus shifted to seance, hypnotist and bizarre magic. I have a poker game every other friday and end up second most of the time If I don't get bored or make a sad all-in. Why do I never win.

Marpenothi (MAR - PEN - OH - THEE ) Mon Sep 19, 2005 2:32 pm Bigslick4465 Full House Joined: 08 Sep 2005 Posts: 57 I'm Dave, im 15 and have been playing poker for about 3 months now. I enjoyed the game and began to play online almost every day. I guess im a fast learner because i can now calculate all the odds and the majority of the time i know what others have in their hand. I stopped playing the game so frequently and began to learn chip tricks, which brought me here. Im new to this site and enjoy learning new tricks. _________________ Mon Sep 19, 2005 3:31 pm fattyonadiet Royal Flush Joined: 11 Jun 2005 Posts: 1316 Location: Melbourne, Australia g'day everyone, i'm alex from australia and i'm a fan of both card tricks (magic and flourishing) and coin manipulaion. because of my location (being a distance from everyone) things such as dvd's, cards and chip sets are kinda expensive so i am not learning as fast as i would like to but never the less i am learning. oh yeah i've been at 21ace for i think its going on 3months. _________________ ------------ WOOT WOOT!!! respect the big guy!

I'm 29 years old, so I'm guessing that I'm older than most people here, but that's ok. I design inground swimming pools for a living. I grew up in New York, but now live in South Carolina. I've been into card flourishes for about 5 months. I took a month off from practicing, but now I'm ready to dive back in. So be ready. In my opinion, this is the best forum out there for card flourishes and chip flourishes. This site is also great for card magic and other topics. I post regularly, so I'm not that hard to find. Good luck to everyone. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAr8aujosLw http://theeman.p8.se/Fusion.wmv Tue Sep 20, 2005 7:23 am Maverick Straight Flush Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 620 Location: Sareyville, New Jersey Sup i'm Joaquin.

Well im 16, loved magic my whole life, but got really into it last year. My favorite routine is probably "dream of aces" by gary oullette, and my favorite trick is Torn by daniel garcia. but just latley i got into xcm and have now been committing my time to the art of xcm instead of magic.

My hobby's are.... whatever.. Cards I have been reading for abouth a month on this site, and a few weeks ago I bought a couple bike's and bee's. I started doing magic and flourishes the whole day long. And today I felt like joining on this forum so I did. I'm trying to become a master card manipulater so I practice about 5-6 hours a day. The rest of the family hates me because of that, well, the at least don't like me anymore. Wich is, of course, extra motivation for me to study even harder. Well don't know much more to say. _________________ Mysticyx 13 Six Of Hearts Thu Oct 13, 2005 1:39 pm Howell 4 Of A Kind Joined: 13 Oct 2005 Posts: 141 Location: Canada BC Ello, im Howell ..I like cards .. card magic, xcm , flourish ... and anything you can do with cards. _________________ Howell Thu Oct 13, 2005 5:02 pm Genax Joined: 11 Oct 2005 Posts: 1 Location: United Kingdom Howdy, I thought it polite to introduce myself before I start posting on the other forums, so here goes.

I've been doing cardmagic for about a half year now, and playing poker for a couple of months. After reading this great forum for a while, thought i'd finally register Well thats it, see you around Fri Feb 17, 2006 3:18 am Paul150 2 Pairs Joined: 18 Feb 2006 Posts: 14 Location: Athens, Georgia Hi, all, I'm Paul. I go to the University of Georgia in Athens, and I've been playing poker for about a year and a half. I recently joined the National Pub Poker League, and played in the Georgia Regional tournament earlier today (the eighteenth). Out of about 150 people starting, I wound up about nineteenth overall. I was pretty pleased, considering my relative inexperience. Anyhow, I stumbled upon this site looking for chip tricks, and I think it looks pretty nice. As for some other stuff, I'm a musician (Guitar, bass, drums, and a bit of keyboards) and a huge trivia nerd. Anyhow, I look forward to learning some new stuff from you guys. Later. --Paul Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:08 pm Daren Pair Joined: 03 Mar 2006 Posts: 8 Hey pple, Daren here, from D&D, glad to be here..

I never made an introduction post... I introduced myself a little in my first post a long time ago...hmm... Might as well: Hey everybody, I'm Josh, and I'm a card and coin manipulator from Kentucky. I'm 18, and I'm a musician as well as an avid magician/card manipulator (I sing and play guitar, classical as well as light rock). I've been practicing card magic and XCM for about 3 months now, which is the stint of my membership here as well. I started to learn magic for a senior project at my high school, but now it is a huge part of my everyday life. I keep a deck of cards in my car, on my person at all times, and I have over 50 decks here at the house, some in my collection unopened but many others that I frequently use for various purposes. 21Ace has been my home away from home now for almost 4 months, and I love this place, and these people here. For all of you new members, I suggest that you get involved. Ask questions, because we'll help you out. Introduce yourself, interact with other members. Maybe make a trade with another friend from the forum (cheers Ryan). The guys on this forum are absolutely jaw-droppingly amazing at what they do. I would even venture to say that we have some of the greatest card and coin manipulators in the world, right here in our own little community. So use was is available to you - these guys. They have helped me so much on my way, and I know they'll do the same for you. And I'm no different. If any of you ever need help, I'll do the best that I can to help you. Just open up, be comfortable, abide by the rules, and most importantly: have fun and make friends! 21Ace ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF! _________________ An0n ------------------------------------------------------- -Check out my Blog for help with several different sleights and tricks!
