When we were 11 or 12 we spend a lot of time after class at a friend of my 2nd brother home simply because his dad was a toy trader importing toys from Hong Kong to sell to retailers. We always envy him because he has so many toys at home.
I became fascinated by Magic when I was 12 ... was it David Copperfield ... nope I dont think so he was not out yet then or was it 'Roy & Siegfriend' a magic show I watched at Genting with my mom. So on a holiday trip to Hong Kong with my mom I got hold of a trade magazine of suppliers in Hong Kong and there was a manufacturer for magic tricks products. I used my grandma shop fax machine and asked them for a price list, I was surprise at the prices they quoted me. The magic store I frequent is ripping me off as his margin was above 300%.
I beg my dad and mom to loan me some money as I wanted to do this business. My grandma told them to let me play as she likes it that I wanted to be a businessmen like my grandfather. She said its just a small amount of money and I could use my aunt huge grocery store to sell those products.
"Ta Da" I started my 1st business selling magic tricks at school as well when I was just 13. The business didnt last very long as predicted by everyone but it was fun and we *me and my brothers make some nice pocket money.
