Hello Phillip (Filip - which name do you prefer). There's no need to apologise for your English. I'm sure that you will find this a helpful and tolerant site, ready to help anyone appearing to have a genuine interest in magic. I Use Bicycle cards, and most magicians do. Maybe you will find a supplier on here. In fact, if you don't, let me know, but try putting out a post, called, "Need Bicycle cards. Can you supply, please?", or something like that. It's a matter of cash, as well. But if you get to a desperate situation, post me a message on here, because I read them all, or post me a private message, if you'd prefer.
You said that you've come to learn tricks on here, and with you being 14 (not criticising), it might help us, if you were to tell us what your favourite effect is, with a deck of cards. This will help us to gauge what sort of magic you do and what sort of magic you would like. We could then help you find what you are looking for, although this is not an easy question to answer, when getting more immersed in the world of magic. Can you get hold of magic books and d.v.d.'s at all? I recommend books, but get what you can afford, but I would advise coming on here first, and asking what people think of things, before buying them, in the 'Reviews' section.
Magicians are generally helpful people.I spent £30 on books that I didn't want or need, yesterday, because I passed a closing down sale, and was curious enough to go in. I bought these to pass on to people, for the same price, because I know they are books worth having. How could I refuse The Royal Road To Card Magic, for £5? Anyway, I hope this post is understandable for you. Welcome to Talk Magic
