Hey guys! I have been doing card magic for around 9 months now, and I have learned a decent amount. I was wanting to get a good book to work through that would have many different effects in it. I currently have Royal Road to Card Magic, Expert Card Technique, Card Magic of LePaul, and By Forces Unseen. I would like a book that focuses more on close up/street magic, as I don't have many opportunities to do parlor style. Any recommendations?
Good books

Check out Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment. Start with Volume 1 and if you like it, get the other two.

Judging by your background, I think you would really like the Card College Volumes (1-5) by Robert Giobbi. You can buy the entire set for about $185 or just the first book for about $35 if you want to test the waters with it first.
