So Mog if I said I wanted to buy one trick and only one trick to amaze my friends and I knew nothing about magic, what trick would you then suggest?

by **the_mog** » Dec 19th, '03, 18:57

id say coin unique... but it would still be better if you bought a book!

Thanks for that Mog, and of all the books/DVDs which do you think is the very best one to advice our novice to buy.

By the way a link for your suggestion with video and reveiws is:

just to butt in i sugest haunted key and mark wilson's complete course in magic.

well for books id say the royal road BUT this can appear dated and maybe a bit long winded at times so id say either the Mark Wilson Cyclopedia or Nic Einhorns encyclopedia of magic... both are reasonably cheap and offer a wide range of effects and styles... DVD wise id say the "easy to master card miracles" by Ammar would be a good choice cos they do pretty much what they say on the tin....

but of course this is just my opinion which may not count for much :mrgreen:

Nice thread

How could I have forgotten coin unique!?
Maybe the fact that I spent mine has blanked it from my stupid mind

I notice the raven, bat, healed and sealed, bitten coin etc haven't been mentioned, as expected, yet these make up so many peoples first buy I guess.
Go figure, and people say they aren't affected by advertising, lol.

scotch and soda / gin and orange are cheeper and just as versatile.

Best effect for a learner/beginner magician ??
