Beginning Students
Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic - This is a
perfect way to sample nearly every kind of magic and
see what fits you.
Easy to Master Card Miracles Vol 1 - The greatest
magic teacher in the world will take you from
beginner to pro in the ETMCM series, and what a
better place to start than Volume 1.
Double Take - Gregory Wilson goes in depth with the
most crucial sleight in all of card magic; this is the
move that required all your dedication.
Invisible Deck - The most widely used gimmick deck,
and worth having in any beginner or professional
repertoire.
Earplugs - This DVD will teach you everything about
performing with sponges more comprehensively than
any other one out there.  Important for any beginner
to learn basic sleights and misdirection.
Revolutionary Coin Magic - The modern classic!  This
has the most widely used and modern coin
techniques all in one place.  
Note: you will not learn the most
basic coin sleights such as simple palming techniques.  Jay assumes
you are already beyond that stage.  For basic coin techniques, see
Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic above.
These are simply some suggestions for starting out in magic,
specifically close-up magic.  If you would like my opinion on
packet tricks, sleights, or if you have any other questions,
please do not hesitate to
contact.
