The stuff there is really quite easy, and knacky. Taught in a veyr good way, combination of magic and flourish. really worth a try . LOL

Mark Wilson's books found in the library is a good start.
Complete Idiot's guide to magic
Ammar's card series.

Come to the public meeting on the 17th of September, and you'll get to see some of us in action, and kind of get the idea of the whole thing. It's a lot better to be in the moment than to read or watch a recording of it, I'd say.

I think Jeremy is pulling ur leg, Generation Xtreme is one hack of a difficult DVD to learn from or to begin magic/flourish with.

lol ya eh eh don't buy it yet!
ok seriously, i think you should get Born to perform by Oz Pearlman.
Master the basics he teaches inside first, and i do mean MASTER.
Then move to something harder.

Honestly your better off with DVDs than books. it might cost more, but its much easier. The best however, are teach ins at Magic Castle, they're pricey tho.

DVDs are good as they show the explaination compared to books, but books contains some stuff which will never be shown in books. So you just have to make a choice.
Books contains some of the best stuff which was never featured in DVDs before.
