It might be helpful to mention what trick you're doing it in or what basic type of sleight is it to narrow down the field a bit.

I think there's a description of it in Royal Road, if a bp is what I'm thinking it is.

If this is the trick I'm thinking of its the Tenki p*** or the back p*** .

I'm not sure if its in RRTCM now that I think about it

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

RRTCM is a fantastic read and will have everything you need and more but you should remember that there are hundreds of sleights out there. So it doesn't have every last sleight and variation.

The sleight your talking about might be in there but if its the sleight I'm thinking of I don't think it is.

If you're a visual learner you might have a go on the dvd. Always faster for learning (at least for me). The book is great though. It will maybe give you more detailed information so you really get it right. I love the book! But both are great.

from the sound of it, it makes sense for me to get both!
thanks for the tip.

Can we not say the p*** word? I think that's a little ridiculous, don't you?

Just because someone knows what it is doesn't mean they can do it!

I personally prefere books to DVDs because I like to sit down in a quiet corner and learn. But some people find it easier to follow a DVD

Its personally choice at the end of the day, both are probably best if your willing to spend the money. I prefer books as I can sit in the front room, not annoy anyone then just sit there till my hearts content. Books are also better I feel when your trying to find or reference something. For example if you haven't done a particular sleight in a while just grab the book and quickly look it up.
