Not many people actually do buy it and read it but I recommend Impro by Keith Johnstone to most everyone, I think it should be required reading

Great list, Mr. Biro. I would have to give pride of place to the egg bag.

The Show Doctor by Jeff McBride is a great book. It's not just about tricks, it's about how to be a better performer. The Tarbell Course of Magic, a lifetime of knowledge. What's old is also new with a new "paint job". Anything by Pete Biro.

Hi chucklerich
Another basic skill to acquire is a good Paddle Move. There are tons of routines you can learn and you'll probably create new ones. One cautionary comment: It's easy to learn to do badly, but requires some dedication to perform correctly. The good news is that once you've mastered it, that muscle memory will stay with you a lifetime. Julie |

To follow on to Julie's post, she's right. It's easy to learn badly. Most paddle moves don't have to be 180 degrees. A wrist rotation and 90 degrees is usually all that is required.

Not sure what issue of Reel Magic, but Kostya Kimlat shows a great paddle move that eliminates a lot of wrist action.

The Books of Wonder may be the single greatest resource for not only tricks but misdirection, routine's, thinking in magic, and presentation. Worth every penny you will spend to acquire them!
