Hey guys - Can anyone recommend card instruction material that should come after RRTCM and Born to Perform? I've got both and like both (although learning visually from Born To Perform really was a help - it's a fantastic DVD) but I'm starting to see more tricks turn up the odd move not mentioned in either (Marlow Tilt? Zarrow Shuffle?)

Is it time for me to buy a big scary lookin' complete absolute encyclopedic tome of card magic, or is there a friendly next stage...?! What I'd really like is for Oz to make Born to Perform II! Some folks have expressed their frustration in the simplicity of "card college" etc, and I don't really have £100 to spend any way...

I wait with baited breath!

Have you looked at Jeff McBride's - Art of Card Manipulations or the Ninja series and control freak on Ellusionist? these are some of the DVD's I am concidering at the moment.

I've read a few crud things about the ninja series recently...!


Does anyone have any experience with the Complete Card Magic DVD set by Gerry Griffin? Seems like a reasonable deal for £50 - 7 DVDs!

yes i have it, and its good. i got some goos stuff out of it, and i found it on a site for dirt cheap.

i would also recommend, watch magic, card college, and some would say Art of Astonishment.

could you elucidate on Art of Astonishment?!

Art of Astonishment (i think) is the Art of Astonishment books/dvds

But for intermediate/advanced cardy stuff you could do a lot worse that looking into "the classic magic of Larry Jennings".."Las Vegas Kardma" by Allan Ackerman (or indeed his 8 disk dset of dvds)

Heres a link to an article which maybe of interest: Card Magic Essentials

If I were you, I wouldn't bother with ellusionist.
