thanks a ton! already ordered 2 books from this list after seeing the video yesterday! super stoked!
Jason's recommendations are stellar.
Incredible! Helped me a lot!
Jason, you are the real deal! Thanks so much for this vid!
When I first began studying card magic around 7-8 years ago, I discovered Jason’s Theory 11 videos and this video. I already knew about and had “Expert at the Card Table” but thanks to this video I found out about Dai Vernon’s “Inner Card Trilogy” and “Stars of Magic”. (I love “Stars of Magic”! Soooooo many strong effects that are as powerful today as they were when it was first published!). I also just FINALLY got a copy of Kaplan’s “Fine Art of Magic” after searching and saving up for years. Also, to anyone serious about card magic, I can’t recommend investing in the “Card College” books. Not only are they excellent references, but the author Roberto Giobbi not only listed all his sources, but gives page numbers, etc. which are great for discovering new books and magicians.
There is actually now a second edition of "The Fine Art of Magic". It's much cheaper than the 1st edition and has additional materials in it. I hope that's the one you got!
Stanley Zhou Unfortunately mine is the first edition. But thanks for the heads up! I always like to ask this, but any books or videos that you recommend?
@@genius2012 I highly recommend Strong Magic by Darwin Ortiz and its sequel Designing Miracles (both are still in print). There aren't any tricks in those books, but they will make the tricks you already perform stronger, maybe just 10% stronger. But imo that's more valuable than learning 10 other tricks that you probably won't use. I also suggest you should follow Michael Vincent on CZcams. See if you like his work; he has some amazing DVDS. Also, if you're into Marlo, check out all of Bill Malone's DVD sets, namely Malone Meets Marlo and On the Loose. These should keep you busy for months!
Thank you very much Jason. This is a video i`ll keep. I will be looking out for the books. I need to advance to the next stage in magic.
Thank you so much, Jason. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Cam Dix, Toronto, Canada
Just came across this review by Jason and glad I saw it. Great info here and to see 3 books that I grew up on and still in my collection was fun to see. Also reminds me of many books I still may like to read. I was fortunate to receive some personal magic training at the original Tannens magic shop by Lou and Erving Tannen along with Tony Spina and Mike Tannen at his Circle magic counter all back in the late 60's and 70's. I will be checking back to see what other reviews I have missed. Thanks again.
Reading/learning The Royal Road to Card Magic now.
Once I finish, I plan on picking up Expert Card Technique, and then moving on from there.
@xNaturemasterx Erdnase does not have the Center Deal in it. Revolutionary Card Tecnique teaches the Side Step Center Deal, the one used by Marlo. I use an Erdnase Grip and Mechanic's Grip for my Bottom, which one do you use?
this is the best 360p i have ever seen
Great info!
@kieku87 well you got some pretty interesting skills. Do you use the Erdnase grip for the bottom deal or another one?
Many thanks for taking the time to produce this video Jason. Personally, I think the Buckley book (Card Control) is so overlooked these days - but remains my constant inspiration; many years after opening its pages for the first time. In a World of instant downloads and one trick DVD's, these older books contain a wealth of much more valuable material.
Barry Allen I own the book and I'm very interested in your favourites from the book! If you're willing to share them, I'd be grateful
@xNaturemasterx It sure is not Erdnase grip, it's just something I came up when I was learning bottom deal. Its not even good one but when I do card cheating-thingys in my magic show's, the laymans dont see a thing. Other magicians sure know what Im doing and tell me that I should learn better bottom deal. Im working on it.
I was suprised how allmost all my magic books was in this list. Scarne on card tricks, Card Controll, Harry Loraynes Close-up Card Magic and Expert at the Card Table. Maybe I am at the right track to become as good card man as Jason :D Maybe in 20 years...
The center deal isn't taught in Erdnase but it is taught in Expert Card Technique
I've heard it said that the version taught in Expert Card Technique is evidence that Braue couldn't do a center deal. Can't recall where I came across that, but FWIW.
I did not buy any other magic products for two tears after buying Revolutionary Card Technique. Its that good
Beautiful Breitling Bentley...
He has Card college series in the background, but he did not mentioned it. I think he should have.
He did mention it. At 1:03 he said, "I'm a big fan of modern books like Card College, but if I had to start somewhere I'd still start with Royal Road."
very cool idea video Kevin van Pernis God Bless
I was mistaken obviously ;)
Nice..!!!!
Hi Typhoon. Do you know Dan & Dave Buck? If you do, what do you think of them?
I think they have a unique style and patter! So energetic!
why don you publish some books?
ed marlo's revolutionary card technic
where can i buy it ?
does anyone know?
{im from greece btw
If you want to buy RCT, you'll need a lot of patience, endurance and luck! Some webshops list it as "in stock", but when you order it, it turns out that they don't have it any more. I had bad luck for months, I checked ebay daily and ordered it several times without luck. Finally, I've just succeeded, but it was the last one in that magic shop.
You may try this one: www.bigguysmagic.com/revolutionary-card-technique-by-ed-marlo-book/
I filled the order form, but I didn't send the order. Later they sent an email that if I place the order, I get 5% discount. A day later, it was 7%, and finally they offered 10% discount. So they might really have one or two in stock.
thanks a lot , unfortunately i dont have the money at the moment but ill save the link u've send to me
btw i know a lot of stuff that this book contains but nonetheless it's one of the best books i know of :)
thanks again
3.55 "creative juices flowing"......giggidy
No Card College?
he said from the 19th century
sorry 20th
I have all these books. Have not finished reading any one of them
Austin Mai torrent? Lol
HOW THE HELL is his copy of "Expert" not covered in scribbles? I bet he's never read it.
(Is kidding.)
If this is a dig at DM, I totally approve
Hmm. I'll be sure o buy these. ALL of these. Except for FAOM of course. Nobody will buy that unless they are LOADED.
I'm a big fan of books. However, when it comes to learning magic, esp. card magic, I would take a page out of Shin Lim's playbook. He openly admits that he learned his craft from CZcams videos, not books. The reason that it took the previous generation of magicians so many years to acquire their skills is partly because it takes years just reading the books.
Seriously, what is more efficient, spending 20 minutes trying to makes sense of : "Grip the upper packet firmly, by pressing down upon it with the first phalanx of the left ring finger, thus gripping it firmly between that finger and the little finger. Press the first phalanges of the index and middle fingers on the top of the pack...," or watching a 5 minute video showing you how it's done?
If you are fairly new to card magic and don't know some of the prominent card magicians on CZcams who have tons of tutorials, here are but a few of my favorites: Chris Ramsey, The Russian Genius, 52 Kards, Alex Pandrea. There are many more, of course, but those are a hell of a good start.
If you guys are planning to become professional magician, then these books are must. But if magic is just hobby, then these books are unnecessary.
@Juggrouxx Probably the most stupid thing I ever read as many hobbyists become professionals, and many professionals do self-working tricks with great presentations. Also many hobbyists have better skills than many professionals. The only difference between a professional and a amateur is that a one gets paid to to do magic, the other just does it for fun. I have been both, and a full-time professional now for almost 40 years. The material is irrelevant, and many hobbyists like to learn all the hardest stuff as well just as I did as a kid. So being an amateur or a professional has absolutely nothing to do with books being a "must" it simply means one performs for money and the other doesn't, regardless of whatever books or material they use.
Yea you definitely misspoke
