This is a great section for my bookshelf. Recently picked up Books of Wonder for a great price from Don's. What an amazing resource he is. Learned about him from your videos. Sending you a big thanks.

When I look at my card magic book collection I always have a conflicted feeling. On one had I'm so excited about the wealth of magic knowledge I have at my disposal. On the other hand I realize I would need several lifespans to actually master or even gain a competent level to even perform 90% of the sleights and effects contained in these treasures. For me a Dover book like Royal Road that cost me less than $20 is one of the greatest books ever written. It's not Shakespeare or a Tale of Two cities but I would argue that it has the potential to change more lives and have more impact on those lives than any acknowledged classic taught in University literature classes.

I'm also interested in your thoughts on Erdnase 🤔 Really enjoyed this video, as I do with all of your videos!

I really really need a copy of that Malini book. The Caveney books would be nice as well.

Would you review more Ortiz books or Hugard?

I feel like some Marlo would be appropriate for this section. Cardially Yours might be a good one, as it is a collection of some of his well known material.

I admit to owning a few Marlo books, but have failed to get too deep into any of them...I will some day, though.
