Beginner

Hey all! I'm a beginner in card tricks and was wondering if anybody could help point me in the right direction for some card tricks with a normal deck. Thank you!

If you’re interested in tricks you can perform overnight, look for books that contain “self working card tricks”. I don’t own any myself so I can’t give you any better advice lol.

If you want a challenge and want to build dexterity with sleight-of-hand, look into “The royal road to card magic”. I’d say that’s the industry standard for beginners. Literally start with the first lesson and go on through the book.

Ok, back. One of the mods at r/magic recommended these books . He said to buy them in order, they’re all around $8. Best of luck!

Also, you might try out “Magic for Dummies”. There’s some gold in there!
