I've been really getting into learning some magic tricks lately and I'm loving it. Not the corny, crap kind of tricks but some really good ones.
Also been trying to learn how to juggle.

kit,
what kind of magic have you been working on? I've just started on doing some card and coin tricks; I can transform cards now and do some other card sleights, but the coins are going to take a lot of work. Are you just reading books, or are you checking out some websites too?

I definitely like card tricks the most. Coin tricks are cool as well but I don't find them as fun (though I know maybe 3 coin tricks so my opinion might change when I learn more and better ones).
I recommended some books in
here and turnipmonster also had some thoughts there.
I haven't looked at magic websites too much (forums I mean) but I do buy stuff from a few sites, most notably
Ellusionist. Especially when I first started I went all gung-ho and bought a bunch of tricks and gimmicks and crap that months later I still haven't used once. There are definitely a few gems in there (
Stigmata for example) but a lot of the stuff there is overhyped and overpriced.
If you, or anyone else for that matter, are considering buying something from there feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll give you my thoughts on it.
