Amateur Magicians handbook by Henry Hay What else is there when it comes to just one book...lol I have a library of 200 books in reality don't think I could part with any of thema as they all have something special to offer.
But In reality I wouldn't want a magic book I would want a book on how to build a raft for some reason that would seem more important. tpdmagic |

Themes were Cards Across and Diagonal Palm shift. Some extraordinary material was developed. Everyone had to contribute, and all the material was written by Lance, and later distributed to the contributors/attendees. Very limited indeed... Best, PSC

BBbrrrrgghhh! Just one - that's so unfair!!
If I could get away with it I'd have to agree with AOA1-3 - but if the powers that be insist on one only - then Nick Trost's "Card Magic of Nick Trost" |

Neil Gaiman's The Books of Magic is out in softcover. Just one book. One heck of a tour of magic if you want to explore. There are some online annotations and citations for those who don't tend to read this stuff.

Unless I missed it, I am surprised and disapointed that nobody mentioned "Magic and Showmanship" by Henning Nelms. There are tons of books about "tricks" but only a few about "magic"... Nelm's book is one of the very few sources that explain and teach what magic is really about. Of course, "Strong Magic" by Darwin Ortiz gets an honourable mention as well.
