Well its my birthday in a few weeks and I dont know what I should ask for. What are some really good tricks or dvds I can get in America, Close up or street magic ? And also if you can post some good American or internation shops. Thanks a bunch

THere are many tricks but it matters what kind do you want- coin magic, mentalism, card magic, etc...also do you want a beginner type of DVD?

A good website that will give name you a bunch of DVDs, books to buy is http://www.magictalk.com/beginners.htm# ... .%20Tricks

DVDs for a Beginner are Born to Perform by Oz Pearlman, which will teach you the basics of card handling, shuffling and some tricks.

Books for beginners are "Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic" by Mark Wilson ($12 on www.amazon.com), Modern Coin Magic by JB Bobo ($10 on Amazon) and Royal Road to Card Magic by Hugard and Braue($10).

The cheapest and best website that has free shipping in AMerica is www.penguinmagic.com --it also has many tricks that are cheap under $10 such as Emerge Triumphant, COlour Monte and others. Some good gaffed decks to buy are Stripper, Svengali and Invisible decks which can be found at this website for $5.49- cheapest on the net.

I also asked the same questions that you do and I have been told do buy BOrn TO Perform, Mark WIlsons Complete COurse in magic before buying tricks. THey teach u how to handle decks, shuffles, forces, various things.


Here are other forums that also addressed this question.

and A review of Born to Perform by Symtal- http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic6061.p ... rn+perform

Welcome to TM and good luck- I am also a beginner and will buy all the things that i mentioned in this post by the end of year...the main thing is to buy one thing and practice, practice, practice until your hands get sore

Im not really a beginner. I already know very many good card tricks and coin tricks. Ive also started making up my own stuff (nothing great yet) and I looking for something actualy more advanced. Some that will be really amazing end or start a great routine. It can use gimmicks or not. Or a really good dvd that has differnt stuff other than the card into the deck apears ontop (not saying thats bad, Its my best routine)

Lemon - if you have some skills with cards, I highly recommend the Brainstorm series by John Guastaferro. I did reviews on both volumes (check the review section if you'd like).

Both dvd's are filled with some killer material.

You can order them from Elmwood Magic http://www.Elmwoodmagic.com

That's a good US-based shop. Penguin is another. Magic Pro Shop is another good one, too.

Ellusionist are pretty good too.

Never had any problems oredering stuff from them. They have forums too, which are worth checking out, particularly the product reviews and questions ones, if you're thinking of buying.

Cheers,
