A lot of the card material magicians use are in these volumes. I loved them, and I know a lot of other people do to.

Hi. I have the first three volumes and they are fantastic. I never intend to go through them systematically. I use them as a reference. I highly recommend them though. They have lots of practial and impromptu effects. It also has articles on theory and presentation. If you plan on doing alot of card magic, I would recommend them. However, if you don't plan on doing alot of card magic, you might want to stick with Royal Road to Card Magic which is more basic and has less material, but it's equal to Card College as far as quality goes.
My suggestion? Don't buy them. Complete the ones you have, study them, then get vol.3, finish it, then vol.4, then 5.
Getting the whole collection in a snap will just make you bored, when you see all the material, you'll jump from the pass to color changes ....etc.
The books wont go out of print for quite some time. So study the ones you have, and complete the collection later. Yes, the books are the best for card magic, finishing them and applying the moves as Roberto, the author, teach you will make you better than 90% of today's magicians. ( the author said something along these lines in his introduction in vol.1, read it ).
