I'm sure if they had access to CC back then, they would have studied that as well (or perhaps before RR). I've heard several high profile card magicians recommend new students to card magic / sleights to start with CC as well. The reason being they felt the handling of cards is more...

I also think Card College vol. 1 is the way to go. It is as others have suggested more up to date and easier to learn from. Card College 1 (and 2) is also available in an electronic format (PDF) with accompanying video of each slight (no verbal explanation given since you already have the...
