I agree about our backbone being books. Look at how many times people ask "where do I start?" I was one of these guys, and every response was "read a book.". They were right. Royal Road, Card College, Card Control, Expert Card Technique, and if you want to shell out a chunk of change, The Fine Art of Magic. There are so many books that teach so many things in such a way that dvds can't. Best of all you can take a book almost everywhere. Hopefully we can get enough people to see the beauty of the magic in these books and hopefully one day be able to buy them here.
