Card Magic is one of the largest branches of magic - everyone associates the magician with ‘Pick a card, any card’.  And Bicycle cards are the cards of choice for most magicians.  Below are some books all about this wonderful art.  There are some ‘classics’ and some modern day ‘classics’!

Although many people prefer DVDs, I still think that a well-written book can be a great help in learning Card Magic.
 

	I recently got my hands on one of these volumes and have been very impressed. In addition to being full of lots of great (and not too difficult!) card magic, Steve Beam writes in an amusing and conversational way. There are cameo sketches of the various contributors and lots of insight into the development of particular routines. Highly Recommended! £29.99/volume
	This is quite simply the BEST book on Magic I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It has been out of print for ages so I am delighted it is back in stock again. Takagi provides some of the most beautiful magic you will ever see - there is loads here with silks, ropes, cards, etc. etc. His totally unique handling of the Wild Card routine is wonderful and there is loads of other very commercial effective magic. Brilliant! £29.99
	This is the absolute classic beginners book on card magic. £9.99 (It has now been released in DVD form with R Paul Wilson - have a look at the DVD page for more information) Or if you can’t wait, you can download it for $7.95.
	A modern classic. Beautiful production values and powerful magic. Some of this is a bit harder than the Royal Road, but worth the effort. £29.99
	This is “the Daddy”. Harry Lorayne is a great Card Magician and his writing is marked by incredible clarity. This hardback collection includes his 4 earlier books (Close Up Card Magic, Personal Secrets, My Favourite Card Tricks, Deck Sterity) and plenty of new material. All abilities catered for. £54.99
	David Forrest is a very clever magical thinker. This 20page manuscript describes his classic Card Through Window effect and in particular how to make the necessary gimmicks (materials included). Only £9.99
	Another classic volume - detailing everything from basic techniques to advanced flourishes. Recommended. £9.99
	This book complements the Boris Wild Marked Deck and is full of routines as well as a fascinating history of marked cards. £11.99
	Roberto Giobbi is justifiably famous for his Card College series - which is one of the greatest modern guides to serious card conjuring. In this book he teaches great powerful magic which doesn’t require all the finger-flinging skill. Learn the real secrets in terms of presentation and putting together a routine in this EXCELLENT book. £23.99
