He's loosing his touch!... I have heard great things about Born to Perform card magic by Oz Pearlman and if you are interester in a book Royal Road to Card Magic is excellent.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I have failed :cry: I will consign myself to the depths of magic oblivion. My life's work is ruined, worthless.

:twisted:

Buy Born To Perform though!

I have Ammar's Complete Introduction to Coin Magic, and what I have watched so far is good.

But, can he not talk naturally? Everything sounds as if he is reading it off of a cue or something. Thats the only thing I find annoying about it :lol:

But I'm just being picky

Easy to master card miracle series by michael Ammar..Blows born to perform out of the water in my opinion

Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989.. :mrgreen:

Hehehehehehheh

Indeedy. Even though Michael is a 70s throwback and all.

Ammar teaches a lot of history too, showing stuff by magicians you've never heard of, but SHOULD have heard of, and who will become more familiar as you study their work.

Oz simply 'shows it how it is'.
