hello from california

Unread post by rfogle17 »

hello everyone. name is ryan. new to the whole card/magic community. short bio. father of 6 awesome kids (3 mine and 3 hers). ran across some magicians one night late at work on youtube and thought to myself i bet one of those kids would like to see some card magic. decided to learn the basics and see if i was right. one of the six took to it and her and i have been hooked ever since. may sound strange but in doing this also i have learned that using the muscles in my hands in ways i never did before has been helpful in pain management for what docs say is arthritis. also my years of sports card collecting has me hoarding every deck i can find and afford. so i switched from one card hobby to another overnight. anyways, thats me in a nutshell. thanks for having me and hope maybe one day i can help some others with their deck collections and also learn some stuff along the way.

Welcome. You can find great value cards for every budget. There are great decks for $10 and less, and great decks for over $100.

Thank you
Yeah I've noticed things are either super affordable or way out or my league. Definitely beats sports card collecting. Dumped a lot of cash into that over the past 25 years

Welcome to UC!

I think it's awesome you are sharing the hobby with your daughter. My oldest daughter (7) loves collecting cards now and we try to rotate through my collection every couple of nights to play war or go fish :D
Have fun around here and I look forward to hearing from you in the forums!

Great to hear that cards help you even easing some physical issues and it’s always awesome to share a hobby. Have fun around here. Welcome at UC.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.
