That is still very cheap, considering the excellent content, and that the 2012 version was selling for €9.95. Even for €6.95, I highly recommend it, especially for people looking to start out with card magic, develop their card handling skills, and get going with some self-working card tricks.

I feel like I’m not really adding a great deal to the discussion by saying that my favourite first go-to books that I’m still working through are Royal Road to Card Magic and Mark Wilson’s Complete Course in Magic. I managed to pick up a copy of the latter on Amazon’s book store for only £1! I found that by using both of these books in conjunction with each other, along with a handful of relatively inexpensive beginner gimmick tricks, gave me a good starting repertoire. I made sure I performed the tricks from each chapter over and over so that I was confident of being able to perform on demand, and am now at the stage where I’m being asked for “more” by friends and colleagues on a regular basis.

But you can do even better, I've noticed that Amazon market place are offering a copy of The Pocket Book of Magic (Kingfisher pocket books) by Peter Eldin for a ludicrous £0.01. Make no mistake, this book is well worth picking up despite its diminutive size, it contains some excellent material including 'Out of This World' by Paul Curry and 'Equally Unequal Ropes' together with much else besides. |

One of the questions most frequently asked by beginners is: "What are the books to start in magic?"
The simplest answer would be "There is none!" Magic is lived, it is gradually revealed through practice. By opening your mind and heart, using meditation, you learn much more than in any book. Some works, however, still deserve our attention. |

I've skimmed this thread and not read every word - unsure if Tales of Enchantment by Walt Anthony has been mentioned. https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/5214
I plan to purchase this. It's highly rated, appears to be unique - maybe fine for a beginner? Any thoughts on this one? |
