    Hi,

    I'm a new member here, an American looking to retire in the PI.

    I love Dumaguete and its environs. I'm interested in fishing, the Filipino martial arts, sleight-of-hand magic, and guitar playing.

    My goal is to become fluent in Bisaya.

    So you need to have a Filipina girlfriend to teach you our local dialect. Good luck for your Bisaya learning.

    Welcome to the Magic of Dumaguete

    Don,

    Welcome, where are you from in the US? There is actually a small Magic Stand in Robinson Mall. The fellow, Mark, and his wife practiced Magic in Manila for some years before moving here. Some of the products they sell are simple, and you may be familiar with them, however Mark and his wife are quite good at slight of hand.
