Hi. This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic!
I'll be honest...people told me
about Tarbells and I saw them around for years before I ever picked up the series. This is one book
series I really wish I would have listened to all the people who told me to get them earlier. This,
besides perhaps a couple of key books (like "Royal Road" and "Expert Card Technique") are THE BEST
books in magic that I think just about anyone even thinking remotely seriously about magic should
own. The books are THAT good.
I won't say they are the easiest books out there to read, and
there are more than enough challenging effects contained within the books to keep you busy for YEARS
if you want. The books can be a slight challenge at time for sure. I found books like "Now You See
It, Now You Don't" and "Royal Road" to be a little bit easier to grasp as a beginner. That said, do
NOT let that deter you. These books are prized gems, and should be in your library.
In the
day and age where everyone is into Instant Downloads and home video, it may be hard to purchase
books to learn magic. If there are any books you should have and are thinking of getting it's first
Royal Road to Card Magic and Card College. These would IMMEDIATELY follow those books. And if you
are a seasoned magic vet and don't own these yet....ADD TO CART.
It's a great investment.

The Tarbell courses cover every aspect of magic and then some. If you need resources and a literal
plethora of magical effects and handlings these are the books you need. Tarbell is a must have for
your magic library. this is a great volume and will teach you numerous effects and provide lots of
tips for presentation, and theory. If you are serious about your magic and want unlimited resources
this is a must have set of books. Add to cart and enjoy.
