Hello! That is an efficient list! I have read some of those books and many more. Nonetheless, after some years of studying this art, I have come to the following conclusion: If one wants to learn and to master moves, shuffles, sleights, transformations, and color changes, the best way to do so is by following a visual approach. In order to fulfil this objective, I suggest getting these two remarkable DVD tutorials: Daryl's Enciclopedia of Card Sleights (eight volumes) and Ben Salinas' Hot Shot and Card Stunts. Once one manages to control all those techniques on those DVDs, which takes years of practice by the way, one will have sufficient tools to design and to execute a huge repertoire of tricks and illusions. On the other hand, when it comes to learning about the theorical and aesthetic elements behind card magic, books are and will be the path to take. There are two card magic theory books which in my opinion are essential: La Magia de Ascanio - Volume 1 (written in spanish) and Darwin Ortiz's Strong Magic. Perusing those masterpieces did help me to perform and to comprehend card magic scientifically and artistically. What do you think? I hope my opinion helps.

@@highvt When I worked at a magic shop I found that the hobby magicians would all go to videos. They wanted to be shown how to do it. The pros would go to books. There's even an old magicians saying that the best way to hide a trick is to publish it. It sometimes feels like nobody wants to do the work to figure something out from a book. And yet, even the classics like Bobo's coin magic have killer effects if you practice them and perform them well. I'd also add that since a DVD and a book cost about the same, you'll get about 1 times the number of effects (or more) out of a book.

Not because I don't want to read, but the same reason I would rather a teacher stand in front of me and show me what to do versus reading it.

Another great video! I just picked up Derren Brown’s “Absolute Magic” based on your recommendation but haven’t got to read it yet. Not that anyone cares, but I’ll list some of my favorite card magic books here: 1. Expert at the Card Table -It was my first Magic book, and I still find so much in it to this day. 2. Stars of Magic -It has Triumph, one of my favorite effects! Also a ton of other amazing tricks. 3. Expert Card Technique -Just so much great stuff in here, Dunbury Delusion is another of my favorites. 4. Dai Vernon’s Inner Card Trilogy. I think this is available as one volume from L&L, but I’m also pretty sure there is ebook versions on lybrary.com, a great resource for ebook versions of hard to find or expensive Magic books. 5. Carneycopia by John Carney. Just great tricks and sleights. I always find something interesting every time I open it. 6. Paul Harris Art Of Astonishment. Great, great stuff! 7. Drawing Room Deceptions by Guy Hollingworth. I love Guy’s work in card magic! All his effects are brilliant and this has the Reformation, in my opinion the best torn and restored card there is. 8. Roberto Giobbi’s Card College. I love this series! Not only is it an amazing instructional book for card magic, but I love to read the footnotes and they will also direct you to other great works of card magic. And this series just has sooooo many great tricks! 9. The Paper Engine by Aaron Fisher. An excellent book! Great tricks and Aaron’s Gravity Half Pass, an amazing sleight! 10. The Books Of Wonder by Tommy Wonder. Tommy Wonder was a genius who left us much too soon. There are some amazing tricks in these two volumes and also some very deep essays about magic. His ambitious card/card in ring box is my favorite Ambitious card routine of all time. His wild card is amazing and another gem of card magic in these volumes is Deja Reverse.

DM has good magic - but his target audience is really more of the magician who's been practicing for a while, I can't even do a lot of his effects.

If I already have Royal Road to Card Magic, do you think it’s pointless to get Expert Card Technique since they’re by the same author? Do they have the same tricks pretty much or are they different?
@magicorthodoxy3 жыл бұрын
RR2CM is more of an introduction. ECT is more advanced. So the answer is - you should have both! RR2CM is a great resource from beginner on up and ECT is excellent as a continuation.

Great video!! What is your opinion of "The Amateur Magician's Handbook" by Henry Hay? I have the 4th edition. I had an earlier version of this book (Yellow cover jacket, hard cover, which I cannot find anywhere) )when I was much younger, and I miss the info there about splitting cards to make them thinner for back palming flourishes. Thoughts? Also, you did not mention The Card College 5 volume set by Roberto Giobbi. Thoughts? Surprised you made no mention of Dai Vernon! Thoughts?

tricks only become "hard core" after you've added your own style to them and that takes lots of reading and practice

Which one..royal road (or) encyclopaedia of card tricks
@magicorthodoxy7 жыл бұрын
Royal road walks you through beginner to intermediate/advanced like a teacher - way more sleights. Encyclopedia is way more a single skill level - but contains WAY more tricks

Which books do u recommend for really knacks and expert level
@magicorthodoxy6 жыл бұрын
Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment series (3 books)
@XavierEMagic6 жыл бұрын
Everything unbox pro For expert level, I'd recommend "Revolutionary Card Techniques" by Ed Marlo. You'll learn knuckle busting sleights and so many great applications for all the sleights. There's also the "Star's of Magic" book from Tannens, it's not specifically cards, but it has some of the best card routines in there from legends themselves. I also highly recommend learning a memorized deck to surpass your card magic. There's so many great books for memorized deck, my favorite ones are "Mnemonica" by Juan Tamariz, "Temporarily Out of Order" by Patrick Redford, and "Memorandum" by Woody Aragon. There is also a memorized deck in "Revolutionary Card Techniques", under Faro Notes, that's a good intro to memorized deck, but for the best learning and utility on memorized decks, check the other books I recommended.

Everything unbox pro You're very welcome. Card College, (the entire series), are also great books to have. Not just for learning, but for references. For advanced sleights, I'd recommend books 3-5 from Card College as well.
