Mental photography will give you practise using a principle that several card effects use. Mental photography is cheap and quite easy to use. As i said a Svengali deck is good.

i absolutely recommend roberto giobbi's card college. It will be useful from now to 10 years... you'll see.
And, between books, mark wilson too ( more various, there is not only cards, but giobbi's teaching is the top level).
Between videos oz, ammar ETM series ( card money coins threads...) , or darys foolers doolers if you like close up.
cheers

you might want to try michael ammar easy to master money/card miracles dvd series too. the tricks he teach are simple and good and at the same time he teaches you some sleights too. maybe after getting Born to Perform you might want to get the michael ammar dvds.. they are fantastic and easy to do. some tricks would require practise but which tricks would not?

if you like gimmicks, scotch and soda is good. easy to do, and the reactions you get are just simply priceless. for card gimmicks, there are just so many i dont really know which to recommend to you as i dont know your personal taste and choice, but maybe you would go to sites like www.cards4magic.co.uk or http://themagicwarehouse.com they have many tricks that you may want to consider.

i wish you a happy and magical journey in your road to magic :lol:

I can't fault the recommendation to Born To Perform by Oz.

However, if you are very new to magic you need to learn how to handle and manipulate cards, and has been said before, something like Royal Road will help you get there.

To any beginner, please don't try to run before you can walk, learn the basics, forget the complicated tricks or sleights.

The number of times beginners have come on here and said that someone has seen what they do or have challenged what they have done !! Please learn the basics, don't try to jump the gun. Get competent, and then get confident. The only way you are caught out is because you aren't good enough, and I'm not meaning you Wingman, its addressed to all beginners. Practice.

NOTHING IN THIS GAME COMES WITHOUT PRACTICE, and there isn't a member here who will say different.

I have Bobo and wouldn't recommend it to any beginner, its a swine to learn from But then again, I've always found it damn hard learning from books

I am new to magic and i am totally agree wht u ve said...so i hope i can get some advises fr you.
Have u heard of COIN THRU THE BOTTLE by Kevin parker and coin thru soda can by Criss angel I am planning to buy them but do u think the tricks r too much 4 a completely beginer like me???
