It's good to know who everyone is behind the screen. =)
Anyway, I'm Dennis in the little island state called Singapore. 24 this year. I'm very new to magic, probably slightly more than 3 months tops. I got hooked by two card monte, and since then has always been on the lookout for magic stuff (be it books, dvds or everything else).
I'm currently specialising in card magic, although I would like to delve into other genres, such as coin magic and such. The only school that I am not superbly interested in performing is mentalism, although I do read up on it still. As for flourishes, I only go for controlled ones. Personally, they should be fake to be practical for me. But that's just me.
I'm still in university, doing law and in all likelihood going into the legal profession. That means that going professional with magic is most likely not going to happen due to time constraints.
I never thought of going professional with magic. Although I enjoy doing some street close-up magic for unsuspecting audiences and will probably stick to that as a full time hobby.
