Mine was Mark Wilson's Encyclopedia of Magic.
(the big hardcover one). What a great book (cards, coins, sponge, rope, rubber-bands, cups & balls, stage, etc...) Ronnie Lemieux Montreal Canada

Mine was Expert at the card table. I was 13. For 2 years I only had that book and I really got fustrated at the beginning since the tecniques were difficult and I got caught some times doing them...Now, I´m 28 and I´m happy that I used that first book for my base.

By Harry Blackstone. It's a decent book. Jake |

I never really liked Amateur Magician's Handbook. It jumped almost straight into the pass and many difficult pass variations. My first magic book was the Royal Road to Card Magic. Being new to magic, I have yet to complete the book but so far it is excellent.

Mine was Mark Wilson's Encyclopedia of Magic. I was only interested in the card stuff, though. I have since gone back through the coin tricks too, but I still stick with cards.

A big fat book by Walter Gibson. I forgot the title. I think it was mostly on cards.

Mark Wilsons Complete Course in Magic. I read that book cover to cover, and that's when I caught the bug for magic.

I just started magic. And right now, I'm reading the Amateur Magician's Handbook by Henry Hay. I think it's a great book! I'm also looking at Card Manipulations by Jean Hugard.

Mine was Walter Gibson's big fat 'Complete Illustrated Book of Card Magic' and 'Scarne on Cards'. I still refer to both. Gibson has some excellent card effects, gambling demo's and sleights in his book.

Expert Card Technique became my first foray into serious card magic...and because of the fact that a lot of the terms in that book didn't make much sense to me, I got myself a copy of RRTCM (which I should have started off with in the first place), thereby putting myself on the right track. I tend to make the mistake of doing things backwards sometimes.
