What are some self-working magic videos out there, whether they be coin magics, card magics, rope magics?

I am very clumsy when it come to using my hands, and hence will prefer to work with magic that does not require sleights of hands.

For self-working card tricks, I especially recommend the videos by Big Blind Media.

Look under the heading "How Can You Learn Them?" in this article which I wrote:

Why You Should Try Self-Working Card Tricks, And Where to Learn Them

There's some cracking material on those DVDs. Some people hear "self working" and think it's not good enough to perform regularly but there are some really classics on these like Shuffling Lesson (as done by Paul Daniel's on TV) and Shuffleboard (this blows people away with multiple reveals and a sucker ending). I use those 2 all the time!

Some great titles above. I highly recommended a dvd called “automata” i think it is. You will need to purchase props but the effects are very simple and amazing, also taking a close up routine away from card magic for a wee bit
