I joined recently and got the Magic from MUM CD and it is packed with tricks and effects! I have only begun to scratch the surface. It has over 20 categories like ropes, cards, coins, rings, rubber bands, mentalism, stage, etc. The effects are all in text and not video but if you can read then you are all set to start learning them. Also I love the MUM magazine. Very well put together and it contains lots of useful information, advise, reviews and yes more tricks.
I am glad I joined SAM and if you are thinking about it then I would advise you to do so as well especially if there is an Assembly anywhere near you.

Thank you Thales! It is a great CD that every magic enthusiast should have in their collection.
