There is a fine selection of these pick of the bunch magical gems demonstrated and explained step by step in this web site. As mentioned many times in the site, an invaluable resource for revision is The Royal Road To Card Magic by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue. This is available in both paperback and even as a PDF Online. Although it was written several decades ago, it is still very relevant today and an excellent source of reference material for you.

You will also find some amazing personal feats of strength and self control such as the Ascension balloon flight achieved by David Blaine. This is not exactly magic but is still very impressive.

You will find a good source of up to date tutorials at Tom Matriq's Youtube channel. You also have a lot of videos on Youtube featuring some of the latest tricks being demonstrated at the recent Blackpool Magic Convention that was held in February 2025 for three days. This is one of the biggest gatherings of magicians and magic dealers from all over the world and a great opportunity to see the most up to date magic and demonstrations in the dealer's hall as well as learn from the masters during some of the many convention lectures which are sure to make you smile. The Blackpool Magic Convention, kicks off again next February 2026 with new headliner acts being added all the time. Personally, I can hardly wait for this one to come around again.

The Melbourne Magic Festival kicks off in the land down under from July 7th until July 19th and looks like being a lot of fun. It will hopefully inspire a lot of the younger generation to take up magic as a hobby and even continue to professional level to heighten Australia's profile in the world of magic. They can then get ready for the event again next year in 2026. A good starter trick for magicians might be the Kangaroo Eating An Orange trick. jj
