okay so I'm getting bast beginner now . . I recently brought Derren Brown's "The Devil's Picture book" I brought it so I would have it before he takes it out of print like everything else and because it's amazing . However his stuff is a bit advanced I need to fill in the gaps what stuff is intermediate level?? I also want to look into palming more because i've realised how much you can do with it so any DVD on that would be good to. If you can help out it would be aprecheated.

I think the Royal Road to Card Magic set has a lot of intermediate stuff on it including palming.
Or Daryl's encyclopedia of card sleights can get you from beginner to intermediate.

What have you already done? What do you consider "beginner" and "intermediate"?

Do you have The Royal Road to Card Magic, and have you studied that all the way through? That's generally considered the first step to cardsmanship.

The Encyclopedia of Card Tricks is exactly what it says, and can be thought of as a companion to the Royal Road. It has all kinds of tricks at all levels of difficulty.

There's the multi-volume Card College, of course, if you really want to get serious.

I'll step aside now and let the actual cardicians speak.

are you into cards and mentalism?? . because theres a few mentalism/ card tricks that id reccomend but it depends what type of magic do you want t do?

Anything that teaches stagecraft, presentation and misdirection.

start performing...

doesnt matter how small, or if you mess up...go out and do something...the earlier you start performing the better, by the time you've improved, you'd have gotten the taste for ...erm..."strangers watching you perform"...

by that, i mean dogging, obviously...
