I’m looking to build some of my own tricks I figure I’ll save money in the long run if I do it that way plus I can add my own flair to what I build. Sadly it’s been awhile since I’m built my birdhouse in wood shop class so I could use some help getting started. Are there any books or guides to help me?
If this goes against rule 1 I apologize I saw some similar posts so I figured it was kosher.
Magic builds group on Facebook would be a great place to also ask. Those guys are really knowledgeable and love to help
Book called Mark Wilson’s Complete Course in Magic has instructions and schematics for tons of tricks from gimmicking everyday items to professional-level “big box” stage magic tricks.
It's also just an outstanding book generally.
Just found it online used for £3.51. Bargain!
I’m confident you won’t regret it.
Find Nate Staniforth’s online course on how to design magic. Very solid.
If you want to get into some wild card gimmicks, check out Lloyd Barnes tutorials on YouTube. Think of them as a digital books.
