Could you please tell me the best way to get the best out of the book's.

Opie Houston posted study guides to both books on another forum.

I'll get them and send them to you via email.

Regarding how to start with Bobo's,
visit my website http://www.coinvanish.com
click on the "foundations section" and read the essay, "So you have Bobo's, Now What?"

As for the Royal Road, just do what it says - work through it! It's terrific, though I'm dying to see someone do an act using just the patter from the book!

Come to think of it, not a bad idea...

What a lovely coincidence!! - just bought J.B. Bobo Modern Coin Magic and the Royal Road to Card Magic myself [there was a special offer on amazon if you got them together] Fantastic Stuff!!

Ray,

If you could post a link to them here in this forum that would be helpful. Thanks.

Sure. You need to read through some of the posts as well as there are some good routines posted there.

The guides are quite good. Let us know how you make out.

Thanks Mark
I wanted to ask the same question
Thanks Dan
I'm sure I'll have more questions for you to answer in the future!
