Magic Tricks To Learn

Website or videos to learn magic tricks?

I'm an amateur magician and it seems I've run out of tricks to do (whoops!) Does anyone know any tricks or websites where I can learn tricks??

1. Go to youtube
2. My knowledge of movies and websites is a bit limited, since I tend to use mostly books. I can recommend L & L Publishing's "The Secrets of the Ambitious Card" and Gerry and Banechek's "Psychokinetic Silverware." Both of these do have the flaw of teaching only a single routine (though the ambitious card describes numerous variations) but they are both taught thoroughly, and the effects are impressive. Before looking at the ambitious card one, I would recommend utubing the effect (especially the Tommy Wonder version, which is the best on the disc, in my opinion). If you aren't familiar with the trick, it will let you know if you think it is worth learning, and if you are familiar, it will just be fun. As far as the Gerry and Banechek movie goes, I should also tell you that most people are liable to recommend "Liquid Metal" for a very similar effect, but I personally prefer Banechek. As far as websites go, you might try http://www.allmagic.com/. It is hard to find either movies or websites though that will give you a good general grounding in moves, so for this you might have to resort to books. The Royal Road to Card Magic is though highly of, and I would recommend looking at a copy of Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. These will also allow you to learn a few simpler tricks, so you don't get frustrated with the more difficult routines on the movies.
