Superman Coin Bend for sure. It is a real ooler and gets great reactions, while Kaos not so much..... plus, Kaos is too over-priced for a secret that a 10 year old could have thought of.

Buy neither - get a decent book instead that teaches you loads more for your money!

I agree. It seems you are on the 'trick browsing stage'. This is fine and we've all done it (often ending up with c*** (not the best)), but ultimately it is unforfilling.

dat8962 makes sense. If you buy one trick, you only have the knowledge of one trick. Buy a good book and you will have the knowledge of much more than just tricks. If you ask the working magicians they will tell you they read alot of books. The books will help you to better be able to select the tricks you want and you will have a better understanding of them. The real plus to books is, you will be able to talk to others about the art of magic.

At last! people are seeing the light :lol: Books and DVDs are the way not the latest flashy gimmick that magician X uses on his latest overblown TV special :wink: Think of the all the great magic you can find in the Tommy Wonder books or maybe the Paul Harris ones (depending on your skill level)
