If you're into Street Magic get ''How To Do Street Magic'' or if you like cards I would get Crash Course 1 and after that 2.

if youre into cards....get born to preform card magic....and royal roadt o card magic DVD's

also....if your into street magic...you will need to get an assortment of things...

my favorite street magic tricks are the levitations

and mentalism effects..great stuff

welcome to the penguin forums

if i were u i'd pick up "royal road to card magic" and "bobo's new modern coin magic" since i think u said ur just beginning magic. these two books will teach u the basics in card and coin magic, and contain well over a year's worth of practicing.

No Do Not get those. Get yourself some Greg Wilson material. Not Ell usionist overpriced bullcrap.

e luustionist is over priced....but some amazing effects you can only get at E and i would spend that much money for it....beacuse some of the effects are just that good

This is the best advice in this post.

I used to practice magic 15 or so years ago and recently decided to get back into it. I have used both E-llusionist and Penguin to pick up tricks, etc. They both have some great stuff. I feel that for the money the starter set from e-llusionist gives you quite a bit (How to do street magic, Crash Course 1, and Inside Magic + some freebies). Penguin's Born to Perform is also great, and they have tons of others that get great reviews. I have read Royal Road to Card Magic. It is the bible of card magic but it can be extremely confusing at times, so definitely get the videos to supplement the book. E-llusionist and Penguin sell different versions at about the same price, so check and see which people seem to like the most. My advice is to figure out what you would like to learn first (coin, cards, mentalism, etc.) and pick up something in that category that fits your budget. Learning magic is not something that happens overnight so sit down and decide what is most important to you now, and you can learn more later.

May i recommend "The Bat"? Ellusionist sells nearly the same thing for $80.00 but Penguin sells it for only $17.00! Its a pretty good effect. I usualy carry around "The Bat" and my Raven. Jumping Gemmini is a good card trick aswell.
