Hey there, I'm new to the scene, I don't know any card tricks, I just think its pretty cool and am wanting to learn some tricks just for the fun of it. Can anyone recommend any dvd, card trick set, etc. that can help out the newbie?
The answer is simple, buy everything on this site. I will guarantee, after you learn everything from this site you will be a celebrity in your city.
I agree. I mean, seriously, who needs the basics?

That's the worst advice I've ever heard.
Hi jfoto, welcome to Theory11.
For a real answer to your question, there are several ways to start card magic. Probably the recommended and certainly one of the best is the book Royal Road to Card Magic by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue. It's cheap, it's comprehensive, and contains a really well-structured way to learn card tricks.
A more expensive but more modern approach would be Giobbi's Card College series. Start with volume 1, and if you decide you want to pursue card magic, keep learning with the next volume. It's a pretty significant investment though so start with the first book.
For a more comprehensive (i.e. magic with all sorts of things, not just cards) beginner's guide, try Tarbell's Course in Magic, which is very extensive, or The Amateur Magician's Handbook by Henry Hay. Joshua Jay's book Magic: The Complete Course and Mark Wilson's book Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic are also fantastic to start off with.
Hope this helps

Listen to pav, visual, and morg, they know what there talking about.
I suggest you get one good book and one good dvd, and practice practice practice.
and STAY AWAY FROM YOUTUBE.
Okay now we are going to far. Please don't say his advice is stupid. We need to respect everybodies advice on these forums. His advice wasn't the best neither the stupidest, so chill out. And yes stay away for YouTube.
