I have lots of magic books, Art of Astonishment(full) Card College(full) Modern Coin Magic, and much more, but its very VERY hard for me to learn from them.
Does anyone else have this problem?

You have a wonderful collection of books. Don't learn everything at once. Select the tricks you like first and then learn to do them one at a time. It is easier to learn things one at a time rather than too much. You need time to understand the mechanics of the tricks, then try them out to see how it works and then rework on the presentation over and over until you find one that suits your style.

All books the OP listed seem not suitable for a real beginners who started magic very recently. They are all a kind of encyclopedia. Of course you can learn from Card College if you learn one by one in order. But learning in order is very tough thing to a beginner. It is like you must learn Bayer and Etude (Piano's famous books) in order.
So RRTCM seems better for a real beginner to start Card Magic. For Coin Magic, I don't know. Hideo Kato |

Look at the trees instead of the forest. Flip to each trick as part of a long-term project that exists not for the sake of completion, but for the joy of learning and constantly imrpoving yourself as a magician. Replace being overwhelmed with being focused. The journey of a thousand miles (or a thousand pages) starts with a single step (or tutorial).
