I've just realised that no-one so far has mentioned Bobo.

Yeah. Bobo's New Modern Coin Magic. But I have not seen anyone mention the 4-set Rice Encyclopedia Of Silk Magic! Greater Magic is another one. I refer to my Bob Cassidy Folder with a collection of his works. Focus, by Phil Goldstein (Max Maven), but my favorite two books are:
21st Century Coin Mechanics, by Larry Barnowsky & Tales Of Enchantment: The Art Of Magic, by Walt Anthony. With Coin Mechanics, I don't believe you will find a better coin book, with photos galore! This is unique stuff. If you ever wanted to learn Mickey Silver's Retention Vanish, Larry shows you the closest I have ever seen to that very vanish! Incredible! Walt Anthony's book I have just about worn out. That book changed my life! We LIVE in a world of enchantment! Gimmick up a few ordinary things, create a tale of fantasy, and take them into the rabbit hole! LOL! Step by step, Walt shows how to develop a way of thinking that finds MAGIC in everything! It's up to US to find a way to PRESENT it. And that...he does so well. It's why I refer to the book so often. Doug |

I absolutley hate to read. I do the dvd thing usually. When I started I read as much as I could cause VHS wasnt really affordable for me. I completely agree with everyone who thinks books are a better learning tool than dvds, hands down. I usually go back the the Doc Eason, JC wagner and Malone and Ammar Dvds and for books Bobo and have slowly been reading Dave Neighbors book, for me its what I've learned best.....besides a Fanta-Stik or 4. Ha!

Plus, I found my copy of Pete Biro's "Hindu Cups Ideas and Routines". These two tomes should be must-read for Cup & Ball workers and Coin Box workers. They are rarely found outside of specialized collections Like Focus by Phil Goldstein is found among packet workers. I see a lot of questions about coin boxes that the book by David Neighbors answers. I have the Buddha Boxes by Chazpro. David's book uses those. Coin guys are looking for new stuff all the time. This takes coin BOXES to a new level! Doug |

The James File and Stewart James In Print -- The First Fifty Years.
I also frequently go back to the Encyclopedia of Card Tricks. I reread Eugene Burger's books year after year. They get my mind right. I reread Absolute Magic periodically, primarily because I love Derren's writing style and humor. All of Jamy Ian Swiss' books have proven to be super useful to me by challenging my intellect and preconceived notions. There are lots more, but these come to mind first.

The books I tend to go back to contain a variety of magic:
- Carnycopia - the Definitive Sankey books - The Magic of Michael Ammar - Another Book & Clever Like a Fox - David Acer’s books To name a few. As you can see, I don’t have good taste.
