Hi everyone,
Since I already have 'royal road to card magic', do you think it's worth getting the 'card college' series? Or would 'Daryl's sleights' on DVD be altogether better than 'card college'. I don't have a lot of dough or I would just by the lot! So which should I get? Help me please! these questions have kept me awake night after night... Thanks in advance! the_skeptic |

Get the books. I have Daryl's set and it is awesome, but it just cost too much money for most. I feel that it is a great reference for learning sleights, but Card College is a better value for your dollar. Think of Daryl's Encyclopedia only as a supplement for your books.
If you ever have the extra dough, or if the price gets reduced, pick up the DVD's. Only get this on DVD!!!!!

Depends on if you like learning from a book or video. The card college series definately cover a lot of stuff thats not covered in RRTCM. The Daryl Card Enc is good, but he's really really fast. good luck.

Daryl does not go into great detail when explaining a sleight. He covers so much information that he must move along at a rapid pace. Some sleights don't really require very much explanation, however, others could benefit from a bit more detail. Slow motion viewing is a must at times! He does demonstrate every sleight in a professional manner, however. Also, he does not teach the pass on the series. If you have an extra $250 or so then get it!
Card College 1-4 is at least $110-120 bucks I think. Purchase individual DVD's from the set over time too. Pick out ones that have stuff that is of interest to you.

Hey thanks guys for the comments. CC sounds like a worthy investment for the budding magician.
If I ever become the next Copperfield or Blaine, I'll be sure to put in a good word for you. Laters, Max. |
