tell you what, once you've studied and MASTERED everything in Royal Road to Card Magic...well, you'll be a very good magician and have no need to buy any magic at all...

because you would of learned alot of skills, and then applied your "creativity" if you have such a thing to those skills...and created your own work from scratch...

then you can post them on here for free....

i've been into magic for 6 years or so, and i'd still say i havent mastered everything in RRTCM...

Is there a good website I can order RRTCM on?

amazon.co.uk....

I'm in the U.S., can I find it there as well?

amazon.com....

GO AND FIND OUT YOURSELF!!!!!

Honestly, with a "do it for me" attitude, you're going to get nowhere in magic or in life.

The US is probably the place where its easiest to find RRTCM..

...and if you need your bung-hole wiped any time soon, there's probably an online tutorial for that...

Hey, I've spent eleven years looking for tricks and I don't know where else I can look. I've been to Boston, New York, Chicago and LA trying to find stuff that suits me and its been difficult when you're just a kid. Don't tell me that I'm helpless when I've spent more than half my life looking for magic.

And yet you've never stumbled across Google or a library. Come on, start thinking for yourself and stop relying on the "I'm just a kid" angle.

11 years looking for magic and you've never not once seen or even heard of RRTCM? When I started getting serious about magic I found it within a month or 2 and I was younger than 16. Not having or go anything but still...

it amazes me that you've looked for 11 years, yet have NEVER heard of the Royal Road to Card Magic...

where the hell have you been looking in those places? dog's mouths?

pfft...anyway, see you in a couple of years, packed full of free magic effects for us all...

now please, for the love of magic, leave it be...go and learn something...

OK. Let's not diss monker now. I know it can be annoying when people just ask and ask for things that we may find obvious (google is a good place to start). He's looking for magic, maybe hasn't got a good indication before, and is now a bit confused on how/where to look. If I'm not mistaken he's only 16. He's got plenty of time to learn how the world works (welcome to your life). We can instead give him indications (which I agree have been given in this thread).

Monker. So you got the message: try and buy a book on magic to start with. RRCTM is a good start. And it's not expensive. You got a few good leads were to find it as well. Try amazon.com. They've got it. And if that doesn't suit you, try googleing on your hometown. Generally speaking, with google we all have a very good search engine at our hands and we can find anything in just seconds. It annoys people if you don't make the effort to try searching first. That goes for searching the forum as well before asking. Good luck!

I just came across an article by Scott Guinn in this month's Online Visions which addresses the issue of just giving away what you create for free - and this is a working performer who creates a lot of magic speaking here:
