This is a great thread. For me, it would be:
1. Close-Up Card Magic -- Harry Lorayne 2. Pasteboard Presentations -- Terry LaGerould 3. Stars of Magic 4. Modern Coin Magic -- Bobo 5. Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic I just picked up "Lint" and am looking forward to it. It that on anybody's list? Also, I'd love to get a copy of Bannon's Impossibilia, but it doesn't seem like there are any copies in existence! |

If you could only keep 5 books on magic which ones would they be? [/quote A very interesting question I have to say. If I were to choose 5 absolutes, would go Tarbell, Bobo, Royal Road, Expert, then maybe Carnycopia. I can honestly credit any of these books for the magic I do. |

But then theres also 13 steps as well in fact no insult to John Carney I think I'll trade the 2 off as much as I love Caneycopia I feel 13 steps should be in my 5th position when talking absolutes.

Tough one as I have several thousand books on magic alone that no one would ever make me get rid of lol.
But just for fun: Tarbell Course Apocalypse Magic Menu The Magical Arts Journal The Amatuer Magician's Handbook (Because that book was my first magic book at age 7.) But I also love all my other books especially the magic theory ones a lot. So I must have them ALL! ![]()

As I have a rather modest collection at this point, I wouldn't have to do much cutting:
1. Card College 1 & 2 (and I assume the rest when I complete the series) 2. Amateur Magician's Handbook 3. Focus 4. Royal Road 5. Bobo Edit: Dang...I forgot Tarbell...substitute that for Bobo...maybe... |
