I am being called on for "grown-up" magic more and more. Part of learning is knowing what you do not yet know. So, I am asking for your top 5 DVD recommendations.

I realize this is purely subjective. I am just too ignorant of what is out there to even know where to begin.

I am not looking for any on branch of magic so feel free to mix close-up, card, stage, coin, comedy, specific trick, or anything else.

What I hope to find is some of the gems that everyone assumes all magicians are aware of (which I probably am not aware of).

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Thank you all in advance for taking the time to help me.

Will anyone help me out?

Please.

Yes. I will. Buy this very cheap set and you'll be set for life with first class material. I have been using much of this material for most of my career. It's an often overlooked set, in comparison to today's one trick wonder releases.

Good shout. A set that should be on every serious magicians shelf.
