Card College by Robert Giobbi and Royal Road to Card Magic are some decent books to start learning the basics card magic. They have a lot of material in there so I'm sure you will find something you like.

1. Yes, you can even do advance card magic with plastic Kems.
2. Watch , the video by Jason England entitled What to Read?
a)You should indulge in all aspects of card magic if your serious about it (Slick,Diachlon,Short,Stranger etc..)
b)You're going to want to learn the three fundamental shuffles Hindu, Overhand, and Riffle
c)There is a famous story where a kid went up to a magician and said I know 300 tricks, and the magician said I know about 8. The point being that you're better off mastering a few tricks rather than being able to muddle through a lot of tricks.

Your best bet is a book called Scarne on Card Tricks. For the price, it is amazing. The effects don't require any difficult sleight of hand. This is the perfect book for someone looking to learn a lot of tricks that are easy.

Scarne in Card Tricks is awesome!

'The Four Packs' is my favorite routine from that book.

They are hand drawn illustrations but they are good enough to where you can figure it out. You can find Royal Road on Amazon for about $8.90 for the 2015 reprint in new condition. It's about $7 for a used copy.

Erdnase is considered the bible of card magic and it was printed in 1902.

Actually, it was first published in 1950. For around $12, you will get 155 effects. There is a lot of great material in that book.
