1. EATCT: Erdnase
2. Paper Engine: Aaron Fisher
3. By Forces Ubseen: Earnest Earick
4. All the Lee Asher Booklets
5. 21st Century Toppit: David Penn
6. Practical Mental Magic: Ted Anneman
7. Dixie Doolie 3 volume Escape Series
8. Divingboard Double/Thunderbird combo download: Lee Asher
9. Panic: Aaron Fisher
10. The Holy Trinity: Jay Sankey

I think If I had bought D&Ds Trilogy it might have made it in here. I have cherry picked most of the trilogy effects on the D&D on demand. I love the way they spice up old effects. Sadly I can't justify putting a instant download in a top ten...That, however, might be worthy of a new topic!

I dont have a big collection of dvds and books, but the ones from my collection I would really reccommend are

1. David Stones: Real secrets of magic Vol 1 & 2 (dont have 3)
2. David Stones: Basic coin magic Vol 1 & 2
3. David Stones: Real secrets of magic (book)
4. Foundations by Jason England

Like I said I dont have that much, but I really reccommend these. I am a bit coin magic biased though

Dvds I would reccommend for some move monkeys

1. Sick by Ponta the Smith
2. The Trilogy by D&D
3. Harada hold (dvd)

Hope it helps!

Sorry, quick question. Is there a book that covers the basics of everything? I'm new to this and I want to just see the different types of tricks and what kind of effect you get at the end of the trick.( by effect I mean reading minds, vanishing something, etc)

Yes. Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. You can probably find a copy from between $20 & $30. It covers a little bit of everything and is a good starting point before you go off and drop $30-$40 on specialist books and DVDs that sometimes cover only one sleight.

Yes, I would also agree that Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic would be a good place to start.

You can get the book direct off his website for $20.00. Mark Wilson Magic - Magic Books

Another suggestion would be Harlan Tarbell's Course in Magic. It will cost a bit more. Here it is on CD, Tarbell Course by Harlan Tarbell : Lybrary.com

Yes I agree that "Jay Sankey's Kaleidoscope" is him at his best. Great variety of basic effects.

Ya that DVD is killer. Something more people should really take a look at. Even pros tend to overlook silly little effects Jay has that could just bring down the house
