Finally, which is the best OVERALL value for money item and why.

Mine are:

Under £5.00
Svengali deck from Marvins Magic, because this is one of the first items I bought, which got me into magic more.

Under £10
Mark Wilsons Complete Course In Magic. Need I say more?

Under £20
Mini Hippitty Hop Rabbits. I now own the stage size, but the reactions from children when I first used the small ones, got me wanting to perform for childrens shows.

Under £50
As I spent about £45 on my first lot of balloons and pump, I suppose I can include this. It adds a whole new dimension as a performer, with an added advantage that practicing is fun, even if some of my attempts still look like something from horror films.

Under £100
Tarbell books 1-7. Although I haven't had much chance to study them yet, I can tell these will be invaluble over time.

Overall best.
MWCCIM, as I have used ideas from there already, saving a fortune on new items. With so much in there, I haven't had to think of buying much recently.

Under £5
Stripper deck because you can use it as a stripper deck and also as a normal deck as long as you are carefull.

Under £10
Humm, I hard one. I would probably say a CAJ deck because I love mine and it comes with some very nice simple routines. Or possibly Royal Road Book.

Under £20
Born to Perfom DVD, I started with this and it really did give me a good starting point.

Under £50
PK ring as you can do so so much with this and create your own effects

Under £100
Royal Road To Card Magic DVD. So much to learn you will find it hard to complete this in a short space of time if your a beginner.

OVERALL
Royal Road To Card Magic DVD for the reasons above
