Good job Magicfish. I like the Dingle book along with books by Paul Harris, Jennings, and Vernon.

I enjoyed The Magic of Ascanio volumes 1 - 3. Volume 1 is more theory based, but it's definitely worth the read if the Spanish school of magic intrigues you. I also revisit Vernon's Inner Secrets Card book series pretty often.

I agree that the Ascanio books are good. Also I really enjoy, and keep returning to, Sadowitz and Duffie's Cardzones.

Hey Vlad, why only Card Conspiracies volume 1 and 2? Volumes 3 and 4 are excellent too! Or am I thinking of a different set of books?

52 Memories (Retrospective Edition) by Andi Gladwin and Jack Parker is probably my favorite book that I have read this year.
Other good books I have read recently: Confident Deceptions - Jason Ladanye Card Dodgery - J K Hartman Modus Operandi - Stephen Hobbs Drawing Room Deceptions - Guy Hollingworth Only "Card Dodgery" is a "New" book but they were/are all new to my bookshelf this year. I have added many others, started some, have not started others yet, but these are my "stand outs" so far "This Year". I will add that my John Bannon books are gone back to over and over thru the years as well as Modern Coin Magic - J B Bobo and Coin Magic - Richard Kaufman as well as numerous others (as Vlad points out, too many to list).

These are great resources. Duffie and Robertson examine a number f different sleights and offer alternate handlings plus some really excellent routines using them. EDIT: Just double checked and there are two volumes of Card Conspiracy and Diamonds from Coal. |

I'm a big fan of John Bannon's books as well, and second someone else's note of "Dear Mr. Fantasy." Great stuff and in the range for just about any skill level.

No one mentioned By Forces Unseen yet? I still don't think I've read another text with such direct and elegant magic, technique and thought.

I don't perform many of the routines from the book because of how technically demanding they are. However, I use his one handed version of the convincing card control religiously. I also regularly use his one handed bottom palm as well as a more modern variation of his bow-to-stern control. The card transfers are also amazing. I also love his version of the snap change and his add-on move. It definitely is a must have book for card magicians. |
