Being a almost beginner in magic I have noticed that many people are keen on this book. I would like to know what this book contains, I know there are sleights, but are there effects and routines?
Thanks in advance for any help. |

There are loads of effects. The book takes you through various sleights and then teaches you effects that you can use those sleights in.
The book also has a great chapter on routining - which is definately very useful. The book is great - buy it for sure!! |

Card college 1-5 or RRTCM?
Which one do you guys think is better?

Card College, but if you are just getting into magic, get RRTCM as a tatser. If you like get the real stuff.

Yup! Royal road has IMO stronger effects but Card College teach you the "perfect" sleights, therefore for newbies and those who want a cheap and good alternative - go with RR.

I recommend Card College Vol.1 to learn the basic of card sleights. The explanation is well done and the sleights inside contain a lot of modern refinement. A must have.

RRTCM is definitely the groundwork for anyone starting card magic.
Card College goes into fine detail on sleights and is very comprehensive. Both highly recommended |

There are 5. I believe that the 5th is focused more on tricks and routines than the other 4 volumes.
For those on a budget, like me, you needn't get the complete set all at once. Volume 1 has been keeping me busy for quite a while, though I'm getting ready to dive into volume 2 so I can get my overhand lift shuffle and Elmsley count going. |

I just recently purchased Royal Road to Card Magic and am thoroughly impressed by it. And it was a total bargain new at Border's books. At $11.95, it's a deal.

Thanks peeps! I think I will buy RRTCM next time I make an order. At penguin Magic they sell it for about $10 so I'm going to go there, it would appear that for that price it is a steal.

The Royal Road To Card Magic is the best book on card magic. It was the book that I started with as a youngster, and, (without wishing to sound arrogant) although my expertise with cards is now above the stuff featured in TRRTCM, I still refer back to the book from time to time.
A beginner should spend a year practising the stuff in Royal Road, and then move onto Expert Card Technique. |
