All the sections are awesome, it really depends on what you are interested in.

There is a section that caters to almost every genre of magic.

I Need to know a little bit more about you in order to recommend you something, do you like very visual tricks? do you like to use patter? any favourite trick?

 

[zdogmagic]

yes

yes! i love visual tricks with patter. my favorite card trick of all time would probably be... idk. i like visual moves like the clipshift although i don't know it or like the db spin change tought by dan and dave on the trilogy more so than card effects. don't get me wrong though, i love card effects!

Okay, first of all, looks like you are really into learning moves and you dont have the chanse to perform a lot (outiside, to people you dont know) I hope Im wrong...

Anyway,if there is a book that I dont tire of recommending its Aaron Fisher's "The Paper Engine". It has some pretty good sleights along with some very deep, with patter tricks, I know you will like it.

Here is a review:http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=1592

And here is a place to buy it along with a demo of the awesome "Gravity half Pass"

I mean, Im recommending you stuff that I do in a daily basis, hope you like it.

Also, if you are somewhat new to magic online store's there is one that I can recommend:

http://www.mjmmagic.com/store/

Good prices, and good shipping

What else? o yeah, we began a thread a while back called "Gut.Perform" where we upload our live performances with people and we get criticise by other, with the propose of fixing the problems that other guys say to us, besides it's a good source too see what works and what not works with spectators, if you have time you may as well check that out.

A last piece of advice, there is a whole world of magicians besides Dan and Dave, I mean, dont get me wrong, I love their stuff, but you will discover with time that there is so much material out there, well, you will see .

Hope this is helpfull for you, if you need anything else just tell me or the others, we will gladly help .

Dude, it has been said many times here. It just depends on what your style is... if you are a funny guy dont look at much of wayne houchins work. Nice guy and all just most of his work us for the non funny people (control). no offense to wayne, he is a great magician and has such great work. i definatley like his work. anyway, your style is what it all comes down to. we cant tell you the correct answer of what you would like. we can only gelp yoy down tge path that you want to take. we are just worthy magicians that knows whats up and would gladly help you out with anything. so now here for some sugestions...

- Trilogy
- Daniel Madisons mystique/ motion


these just a couple of opinions... there ofcourse are many more.


hope this helps.
