James, what kind of magic are you interested in learning?
Mentalism, cards, coins, stage, street etc.

Otherwise the list would be so long, lol, my poor old fingers havent got it in them.

If you aren't sure try looking through this link to give yourself some ideas

my main interest is close-up as i am in a wheelchair, but sayin that i suppose there tricks i can do sitting down

james.

mark wilsons is a basis to start from i also have this book and have had a copy for over ten years yes its that old, if you use every trick in the book you will have enough material to do a hundred shows.

when youve read through this book a few times you should have a clear idea of the direction you want to go, and from one fellow disab to another dont let your disability dictate what you do, they make great tables for wheel chairs that can be adapted to take wells and secret devices, and an assistant can always pass you a prop.
my wife was also in a chair and she loved to do the sliding die box and cups and balls you can guess where her loads were.

as for close up work, royal raod for cards, bobbo's for coins seem the popular attractions.

Some great books already given
When I first started in magic I was also in a wheelchair, I'm not now but now I know more I can think of many ways of hiding stuff in one and the low level of your hands could actualy be a positive.
Anyway I'm babbling! If I can help in any way, just throw something at me to catch my attention

Bobos Modern Coin Magic for coins and Royal Road to Card Magic or Card College Volume1, as already said, are great starts. Master these and you will be magical.
