Glad to hear that the magic 'bug' has bitten again and you are persuing it. Royal Road is an excellent start. A few other things you may want to consider purchasing in the future:-
Daryl's Encylopedia Of Card Sleights
Harry Lorayne's Best Of DVD Series
Michael Ammars Easy To Master Cards Volumes 1 to 6 (Just my opinion but I think the first 6 are the best although there are more)
More Advanced:-
Darwin Ortiz - Scams & Fantasies with Cards
Jack Carpenter - All In (Absolutley Fantastic)
Bill Malone - On The Loose
Bill Malone - Here I Go Again
Bill Malone - Malone Meets Marlo (All the Bill Malone material is sssssoooooooo worth the money it's unbelieveable. Not only is he a great magician but also his presentation and delivery are second to none - He also teaches you probably one of the best pieces of card magic ever.....Sam The Bellhop)
Derren Brown - The Devils Picturebook (If you can find it....buy it!!!! A real genius and master at work and you can do nothing but admire his pure skill, patter and presentation but it's very rare now.)
There are many, many more out there, obviously but I feel these are some of the best. As far as buying magic from websites goes you can buy from talkmagic. I buy from MagicBox and Alakazam mainly and i've never had a problem.
Hope that helps a little.

Maybe it's an age thing, but I'm not a big fan of DVDs. I learnt almost everything I know about magic from books, mostly the classics.
Royal Road is good but I've always regarded it as heavy going. I'd suggest a copy of the Mark Wilson Course to start with - this covers a wide range of types of magic and will give you a good idea on where to specialise. Also, unlike the other books I'd recommend, it's not expensive and it's still in print!
