Hopefuly the quality will be better. Most of the free teaching videos of magic in youtube leave a lot to be desired and are often harmful if you really want to learn close magic.

The link you provide (although way better than average) doesn't offer a structured way of learning card magic, and that matters.

Disclaimer: Please note that I am not related in any way to OP. I'm just a magic aficionado that loves the art and had passed throught the "youtube" phase too.

It's fair. Brian's goal is to present magic tricks in a cool, fun way to get people started and interested.

And that's super cool, I can see how one can get hook into magic because of his work, the good thing though is that his audience is different from OP's audience.

Although if you ask me I still prefer the old fashion way and go to your local magic shop and meet the local magicians and grab a good book :)

Saw that guy on Penn and Teller: Fool Us. He actually fooled them, IIRC. Thanks for the pointer to the yt channel!

here's the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJEYtEo7c-c

was he on twice?

I think he was also in season 1.

Love Scam School - he's a great teacher and fun to watch.
