Good selection, thought I would of said Joshua Jay complete course.

Great list Magic Orthodoxy. I did not know you were on Theory11 until now. I had come across another one of your book review videos on YouTube a while ago but you only had about 5 books on that video, some of which are on this list. I think you pretty much covered all the main books of card magic. The only thing I would have done differently was substituted Card College Light for just Card College vol 1-5. Even though Jason Englands list is a little more extensive , I would definitely recommend this video as a runner up.

Card College 1-5 is a bit more advanced and I wanted my list to also go from BEGINNER to ADVANCED

James - The Joshua Jay book looks on par with the Mark Wilson book, I bet you could substitute one or the other, I'm an old fart, so I grew up with Mark Wilson
