hi guys

im verry new to magic/trick's i like to call it magic thou.

i was wondering where have you guys learned your magic?
i know you cant post links but you can still tell me names of some good magic's that dont requieres any gimicks. i want clean street magic that i can do with borrowed card. or coins.

atm i only know a few things i got 2 tricks i do quite well
but i want more and diffrent ones cause doing 2 tricks all the time kinda gets booring when you live in a small town as i do.

i would love some mentalism tricks.

If you're new to magic, the best place to start, like with any hobby, is at the very bottom.

In terms of magic in general, a good starting point is Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. For card magic, there are more specialist books like the Royal Road to Card Magic and the Card College series (link to volume 1) For coin magic there's Modern Coin Magic and for mentalism there's 13 steps to Mentalism (not available from Penguin).

Something else that will help you greatly is to pick up a book on magic theory. I have Strong Magic and it contains so much useful information on routining and getting the most out of your tricks by making the performance engaging. Another book I don't have but I'm told is on a par with Strong Magic is Maximum Entertainment

For beginners, books are a better resource because they are cheaper than their DVD counterparts and contain a lot more information. For example, Born to Perform, may be a great DVD but it only teaches a few sleights and even fewer tricks.

I know it might be a little disconcerting to say this but you can't expect to turn into David Blaine or Criss Angel overnight just buy buying a few tricks; but hopefully these books in particular will help you gain a greater appreciation for magic and help you on your way.

Lawboy gave good advice, however, just from the impression your post gives. I don't think his advice is right for you. From your writing I really wonder if you know how to read. From this post I assume that you may be in second grade certainly not any higher than that.

haha paddy when you can come with some real stuf then do
dont complain when you do not know anything of the person.

haha your the one who is belove 2nd grade if u complain that i dont use capitols in beginings of sentences haha. thats just baby stuff
like i care if it should me some ' or capitols

just dont even post when you post that baby stuff

Half of your post is incoherent. Grow up and type like an adult and we'll treat you like one and answer your question. Until then, we'll treat you like an immature kid.

haha then i wont ask you anything cause your the grown up inmature kids.

if you really have to have it all correct you should go to reality of internett.
haha i cant even get the words in my head to explain how childish your post's are. this is the far worst magican site i ever come across haha [edited]

Yet you continue to exhibit poor grammar skills.
You sound like you are maybe from a non-english speaking country. I can count 11 mistakes in your last post. However, I won't assume you are in the second grade as that is not the correct thing to do. If you are from a non-english speaking country, then I understand why you cannot spell everything properly or use punctuation in the correct places, english is a hard language to learn. Either way, you are off to a bad start here at penguin even though you have been given some good advice. I suggest you take the advice given, read those books and improve your craft. There was no need for any of us to insult your intelligence, but you must understand that the only impression we can have of you is arrived at through your writing.
Thus, here at penguin we generally think that:
poor spelling and grammar = either a young kid, or a person who really doesn't deserve our good advice.
Good luck with those books and with magic.
But I do suggest that you change your attitude and writing style or you will be bashed here for a long time.

WHAT THE HECK DOES THIS KID KEEP SAYING!

Hey you came to us for advice and they gave you some advice. It may not have been excactly what you were looking for but If you listen to what they say you are more likely to get what you want.

If you want to play I think a place that rhymes with Parvins Pagic is more your size.


P.S. p=m
