Greetings from Los Angeles

Hi Everyone,
I'm Mark and live in L.A., and happy to be part of this amazing forum!
Like bees drawn to honey, it was inevitable that I would find myself here among fellow Tenyo
collectors and enthusiasts!
Though not a magician by trade, I've been a fan of magic for years, and a great admirer of talented magicians.
Living in Los Angeles made the decision to join the Magic Castle an easy one, and I've been fortunate to have seen many great shows at the Castle, particularly in the Close Up Gallery and the slightly larger Parlour. Steve Valentine and Gregory Wilson are my favorites, along with Bill Malone and Peter Nardi.
In real life, I'm a photographer who specializes in shooting homes and gardens for magazines and book companies.I'm fortunate in that I get to travel to many areas around the USA for my shoots.....if I had to pick any area for a week/10 days of shooting, it might be New England in the Fall (I'm loving those amazing fish/lobster restaurants in Massachusetts and Rhode Island!)....I'll probably be there in September.
Tenyo hit me big time about a month ago, and I've been feverishly collecting ever since! About 10 days ago
I became aware of Richard Kaufman's Tenyo-ism book......I'm waiting anxiously for that one!!!!!
I'm sorry I missed out on purchasing the limited edition version with all the autographs and extra material!
That being said, I love reading as much as possible on the tricks that make it in my collection. I'm currently involved with learning the Sandwich Platter which I just got in the mail yesterday (in a very pristine box). This trick is quite wonderful in it's simple but ingenious method!....fun! Can't wait to perfect and try it out on on friends in the real world.
By the way, I think I need an 'off-site' PO box to receive my Tenyo goodies, and avoid the 'wife' interrogations of why I just received 6 very small and very light weight packages (eBay purchases)
from random people and random locales.
Anyway....great to be here (!), and special thanks to John M for all your assistance, and Simon in Australia
for our recent exchange of Tenyo themed messages.
See you!!!
Mark
