WHAT ARE THE BEST MAGIC BOOKS FOR BEGINNERS?

This is actually a very hard question to answer because there are all kinds of
beginners with all kinds of backgrounds and interests. I will limit myself to
the performance of close-up where I gathered my own experience doing magic, and
there I will focus on magic with cards, coins, and mentalism. If you want to
take a shortcut and not read through the rest of my opinion here are the three
best classics which are wonderful and affordable:

 * The Royal Road to Card Magic by Jean Hugard and Fred Braue
 * The Modern Coin Magic by J.B. Bobo
 * Practical Mental Effects by Ted Annemann

THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS TO MENTALISM

This is an excerpt from Bob Cassidy's exceptional Fundamentals ebook. Many
consider this ebook the best Bob has ever written. It lists Bob's 39 most
important magic books to study to achieve mastery in mentalism. The unique
feature of this list is that Bob explains for each title why it is in his list.
So here we go ...

ERDNASE RESOURCES

The search for S.W. Erdnase has and is being conducted by a small but very
dedicated group of investigators, historians, magicians, and gamblers. I am part
of this group of investigators. While we often champion entirely different
candidates and disagree on many points there is something to be learned from
each point of view. The list below is a chronologically sorted list of books and
articles which I consider important reading on the subject: The Expert at the
Card Table by S.W. Erdnase (1902) This book is the primary evidence we have of
Erdnase. A close study and multiple readings of the book is, therefore, a
necessary requirement to contribute anything meaningful to the search for
Erdnase. The writing is very good and several at that time new moves and
concepts are taught. The James McKinney…


JASON ENGLAND'S 17 CARD BOOKS TO STUDY

In September 2010 Theory 11 released a short video clip where Jason England
introduced 17 books on card magic any serious card magician should read. It was
titled "An instructional download on the things you can't download" (my
emphasis). Well, I respect the talented guys at Theory 11, but they are a bit
behind the curve when it comes to downloads because even back in 2010, 10 of the
17 books were available as download ebooks from Lybrary.com - and most of them
for many years. Several more became available in the following years.

I can second Jason England's selection. These are all…

WHY LYBRARY.COM? WHY EBOOKS?

It’s been several years now since Chris Wasshuber and his venture, Lybrary.com,
became a part of the landscape of the magic community. To be perfectly frank
(and Chris can confirm this), when he and I first started having discussions
about ebooks on the various magic message boards I wasn’t just against the
concept, I was vehemently against the concept. Not that our arguments were mean
spirited (though Chris had - and in fact still has - to put up with some mean
spirited comments): they were just spirited. We both argued passionately for our
respective sides.

However, I argued as if Chris and his venture were a direct attack on…
