I can't decide whether or not to get 1 of the following 3 things.
Scarne on Card Tricks
Royal Road to Card Magic
Expert Card Technique
The reason I cant decide is because royal road teaches a TON of things but I'm afraid it might be ultra super mega ultra uber newb. Expert Card Technique I've heard that many of the tricks simply arent very good but it teaches many key sleights like palming and bottom/second dealing. And Scarne...well actually I cant actually think of anything negative about this book...It teaches 155 tricks and NONE of them use sleight of hand...so tons of self working tricks sounds pretty cool. And Scarne is like one of my favorite magicians. So...yeah. Thanks!
