Hi there!

I highly recommend Born To Perform Card Magic by Oz Pearlman if you want to learn card magic. It goes from very easy to quite advanced, and will last you for a good long time. You can buy it from penguinmagic.com...

the three standards are:-

bobos coin magic.
royal road to card magic.
13 steps to mentalism.

i also recomend mark wilsons complete course in magic which covers all topics from closeup to stage.
oh and advice from us pros and amatures alike

If you are looking to get started, then I strongly second the recommendation that you get Mark Wilson's book.

Nicholas Einhorn has written one that is also good (and can be picked up for about £5 in lots of places). It's available under two different titles. See here:

I got a copy in Borders three months ago.

The Mark Wilson one has the edge, but is slightly more expensive. You can get both for about £20 and there's enough for you to be practising for ages. See what you enjoy from those books before buying anything else.

Tarbell's Magic Course.

Or do a course through http://www.collegeofmagic.co.za
