Hi everyone, and welcome to Misdirect.

I created this forum because I felt there really wasn’t a modern UK-focused space for magicians, mentalists and performers to properly talk, share ideas and build a genuine community together anymore.

A lot of discussion these days is spread across random Facebook groups, disappearing Discord chats or older forums that have slowly died off over the years. I wanted to try and create something that brings that sense of community back, but with a cleaner, more modern feel focused around discussion, performance and creativity.

Whether you’re into card magic, close-up, mentalism, parlour, stage, coin work or just have a passion for the art, everyone is welcome here.

The goal for Misdirect is pretty simple:

Create a friendly and active UK magic community
Encourage discussion around performance and presentation
Share reviews, ideas, releases and experiences
Support creators and performers
Build a place people actually enjoy returning to

This is still very early days, so the community will grow over time, but hopefully with the right people joining we can build something genuinely worthwhile together.

If you’ve just signed up:

Head over to Introductions and say hello
Start a discussion in the relevant category
Share your interests, experience and favourite areas of magic
Help get conversations going

Most importantly, just keep things respectful and positive. Healthy discussion and differing opinions are absolutely encouraged, but exposure, piracy and personal attacks won’t have a place here.

Thanks for joining and being part of the start of Misdirect. Looking forward to seeing the community grow.
