What exactly are you trying to find out? Routining tricks? Shows? What is your end goal?

Scripting Magic (1&2) by Pete McCabe, Stage by Stage by John Graham, and Maximum Entertainment by Ken Weber are a few books that spring to mind when looking to really put the footwork in to creating a show.

Honorable mention to Derren Brown's new work Notes from a Fellow Traveller. I haven't fully digested the whole book yet - but it goes into a lot of the staging parts that get left out of other magical writing such as handling participants, creating struggle and drama, and a general sense as to what makes magic on stage truly magic. Very good read so far.
Things are about to change........ LIGHTS!!!

Dan Harlan has a great resource in his Tarbell series. Comes with a work book.

Strong Magic by Darwin Ortiz is very good. Even if you don’t agree with everything he says it will get your neurons firing.
