evening everyone, well I'm fieldy, 19, south east etc etc.

when i was a lot younger i was really into magic but didn't had the time or funds to look at it as a serious hobby, but now I'm at uni and have some [a lot] of free time and a job to go with it so I'm hoping to take it a bit more seriously, I'm mainly into card magic, sleights of hand and mentalism at the moment.

if anyone could point me in a direction for a good resource [dvd preferably] of card manipulations/tricks that would be good to start out with,

i've got a few trick decks but it's been so long since i used them that i don't know what to do with them haha, there may be a couple of topics popping up asking what are the standard sort of things to do with certain decks!

sorry for the essay haha,

stay safe

Hi and welcome to TM :wink: .

A good place to start would be the DVD: "Royal Road to Card Magic".
Make sure you get the 5 disc version (by R. Paul Wilson) and not the 4 disc version .... it's quite a bit more expensive, but well worth it.

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??
