get these and you never need to buy another dvd
You still will buy but you won't need to

Like the first 3 are in order, the rest are all mixed up kinda.

1. The Daniel Garcia Projects ( I do almost EVERY effect in those sets)
2. The Trilogy
3. The System
4. Crash Course 1 (one of my first DVDs it tought me alot)
5. XB
6. The LOOPS dvds. (Calvin here <3's Loops!) haha
7. Sinful
8. Prohibition
9. Asher Twist
10. Hot Shot Color Changes

It keep on changing on my list but this is the list I came up lately:

1. Tommy Wonder – Vision of Wonder 1-3
2. David Williamson – Sleight of Dave, Dave 2, and The Magic Farm
3. Tim Ellis – Runaround Sue, the FISM Cups and Balls Act
4. Guy Hollingworth – The London Collection, and Rounties
5. Homer Liwag – Coin One (also Coin Two coming soon this year)
6. Joshua Jay – Talk about tricks
7. (Same vote on mine, no particular order) Michael Ammar’s ECTCM, Cups and Balls, Topit, and Money Magic
8. Daryl’s Ambitious Card
9. (Same vote again, sorry) Rannie Raymundo Hand Size Does Not Matter (Coming soon), and The Zenneth Code (Limited Release in UK tour)
10. Paul Harris Stars of Magic (Re-release as 2 DVD from 5 tapes by Murphy’s)

I think the above is already more than enough for years of magic enjoyment if someone ask me to give him recommendation of which DVD / Tapes to buy to learn better magic.

Two from my top-10 list that haven't yet been mentioned:

Examining the Thumb Tip (Alexander DeCova)
Whit Haydn's Comedy Four Ring Routine (Whit Haydn)

Come to think of it, any and all of Whit Haydn's DVDs (and videos) would be on my list.

My list:
Derren Brown - The Devil's Picturebook.
Lior Manor - Invisible Touch.
Dan and Dave - The Trilogy.

I remember there were lots of folks vote for Dan Tong's Finally 1&2 as the best DVD os their choice in 2006.

How come no body put it on their list? Or I have missed that post?

1. Talk About Tricks
2. The Essential Aldo
3. Fingers of Fury
4. Hundy 500
5. Supernatural
6. Underground Jam
7. ReinCARDnation
8. Fraud
9. Hot Shot Color Changes
10. David Regal- PPP

Alex Elmsley - Lake Tahoe sessions for sentimental reasons.

Fancy a pot of jam James Brown

My top 4 no particular order

lou

The Real Secrets- David Stone Vol.1
The Real Secrets- David Stone Vol.2
ETMCM Vol.1- Micheal Ammar
Mind Mysteries Vol.1- Richard Osterlind
On The Spot- Gregory Wilson
Revolutionary Card Magic- Jay Sankey
Dave 2- David Williamson
Time Is Money- Asi Wind

Just had to bump this up and add my own votes. Yes, I realize these are sets, but it would be nearly impossible to select 10 single DVDs!

Dai Vernon Revelations (the rest of the list is in no particular order, but this 17 volume set I would definitely place at the top)
Michael Ammar ETMCM
Bill Malone On the Loose
Richard Osterlind Mind Mysteries
Tommy Wonder Visions of Wonder
Daryl's Encyclopedia of Card Sleights

There are many others that are excellent, but these are the ones I would probably recommend without reservations.

You'd be hard pressed to come up with just 10. This thread was started in 2004 and since then, look at the folks at RSVP ( Matthew Dowden's Party Animal and the James Prince's Menu of Miracles DVD's ), Big Blind Media ( Wicked World of Liam Montier ), New York Magic Project ( Got A Light? ) Titanas Productions ( Magic of Nefesch ) Jay Sankey and Kozmo Magic, etc. have all put fantastic DVD's since then.

I guess I would have to put in the Encyclopedia of Coin Sleights (three volumes), and the New York Coin Magic Seminar series (seven volumes). I feel that these DVD's will stand up to the test of time. The encyclopedia has been around in video and DVD format for over 20 years, and I am sure that the NYCMS set will be a constant reference source as well.

I would say voting on DVD that published in each calander is perhaps more accurate. Maybe everyone can vote up to 3 DVD titles each year. Again, hard to clearly categories each.

I like mrmuji's suggestion to have this thread updated every now and then. Not been in magic as much as some of those above, so have limited a top 7 (1 being most favourite):

1. Front Row Sankey - Jay Sankey.
2. Double Take - Gregory Wilson.
3. Born to Perform Card Magic - Oz Pearlman.
4. Art of Gospel Magic - Duane Laflin.
5. Off the Cuff - Gregory Wilson.
6. Corporate Close Up - Martin Sanderson.
7. Ring Leader - Gregory Wilson.
