Which Jennings book should I get? Jennings '67 or The Classic Magic of Larry Jennings? Which is better? Also what are your opinions on Fetcher and Drawing Room Deceptions.

Depends on what you want to learn...
"Classic Magic" is a "classic". It is filled with numerous Jennings routines (many of which are considered greats today). Everything from cards, coins, and a cups and balls routine are explained fully by Mike Maxwell. It is also fully illustrated by the great Tom Gagnon. "Jennings 67" contains all card work. Many routines and sleights are fully explained. Highlights include multiple versions of Twisting the Aces and the Princess Card Trick. Also, many of the shifts and palms explained are very good. I tend to lean towards "Classic Magic", but "Jennings 67" is close behind. S.Segal |

'Classic Magic' over '67.
'67 is more esoteric and tends to focus on the different stages and evolutions of a few of Jennings card effects. 'Classic' is just full to the brim with great stuff, cards or otherwise. (...and get the Fechter book!) |

It seems like The Classic Magic of Larry Jennings is better. But I would still love more opinions.

Drawing Room Deceptions by Guy Hollingworth is a very well written books, containings strong effetc but not for beginner (not sure that fits also for intermediate). Few illustrations but well constructed routines.
