Okay, I just checked Card College 1 and I like those "check points" to refresh my memory about certain moves. I think I need to d... get other parts too. I also remembered, that I own a copy of SW Erdnase's "Expert at the Card Table" collecting dust. It's just so damn boring book, containing impossible techniques like bottom deal.

Couple more random questions, so I don't have to make a new thread:
1) Is there some practical way to pick cards from hard surface without sliding to the edge or bending the deck? It's one of the hardest obstacles I have encountered so far. When I try to perform Zarrow shuffle, I sometimes have hard time lifting the deck even from soft pad.
2) I have trained card spinning and shooting for couple days. For some reason I can do it perfectly before going to sleep. I think that I have mastered it and dream doing it tomorrow, but at morning I couldn't do it anymore.
Are you crazy? That stuff isn't for beginners. You are a perfect example of one of magics biggest problems. Overexposure. If you really want to be a good card magician do this. Choose one of these: card college 1, the royal road to card magic, the royal road to card magic with r Paul Wilson, or born to perform card magic. Work through those. Learn all the moves and do each trick at least one. Then move on to something harder. While you're doing that stay away from anywhere you'd see a product advertised and don't try to learn anything else.
