Good evening folks!
So I've been away from magic almost entirely for a year. Give or take a few months.... In the world of cards (and maybe mental magic for magicians?), what interesting stuff have a missed? Is there something new and exciting that's come out? Did somebody really spice up an old favorite of yours? A special new card book or a devastating new packet trick? I know there's a TON of list threads on here, but I'm eager to get back up to speed!

Many great books including ones exclusively on card magic were published in 2011. Check out the book review section.

Something called the UCCU came out, pretty mindblowing.

I'm not sure when exactly this book has been released, but if you haven't checked Woody Aragon's book, "A Book In English", get it.

Prob about 20 torn n restored, a dozen 100 dollar bill switches, and stackfulls of one effect DVDS...most of the mentioned are either inferior to the ones before or impractical...however, some of Blue crowns stuff (Ben Train) and the UCCU are worth checking out.

Thanks for all the responses. And of course, Ben, there are always a lot of neat older things out there yet to be discovered. Still many "wants" among those
I agree that Ben's Blue Crowns DVD looks interesting for sure! I love assemblies (as weird and parlor-roomy as they are to laymen) and triumph is a wonderful thing. I did the super easy Zarrow triumph for some friend tonight (KILLED). I will say that I've never been able to master Vernon's triumph shuffle, so I'm guessing that Ben's won't be any easier. :-/

Aragon's Book in English and Barnowsky's Book of Destiny are two great reads

Take a look at Derek DelGaudio's work on Youtube. He had a 5-episode stint on a Spanish show that was a lot of fun, if you like in-depth card routines.

This one made a lot of sense to me, as it's a classic, but I couldn't figure out how he got past the "praying" step. Maybe I'm just falling into some kind of topological trap! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75taBNDe0yU&feature=related
