I want to learn to be able to perform magic tricks well, where do I start?
I think magic tricks would be a really fun talent to have, does anyone know any sites and books that would start me off well? Preferably ones that only require a few items like a deck of cards, coins, or better yet, nothing at all!

The section in the library with books dedicated to magic tricks is 793.8. Among the books you’ll likely be able to find that will get you started:
Mark Wilson’s Complete Course in Magic. It has sections on cards, coins, ropes, rubberbands, magic with everyday objects and even how to build your own stage illusions. One instruction, one picture. Most professionals I know have a copy, and it’s great for beginners.
Bill Tarr’s Now You See It. A great primer in sleight of hand.
Harlan Tarbell’s Course In Magic – There are 8 volumes. You can start anywhere. There’s a little of every kind of magic. Another standard.
Karl Fulves’ books on Self Working Magic
There are lots of other books out there, but you could make a career out of what’s in those if you’re a serious student.
Go to a shop selling all magic trick stuffs.
The local library in a book called: "Magic for beginners"
Peace.
I know it sounds daft but a joke shop or magic shop is all ways a good place to start. Buy a few simple magic tricks such as card tricks, or ones that are for beginners and talk to the shop owner for tips on how to perform them well. Do little magic shows for family and friends, to get use to performing the tricks and seeing how they look to others. Ask the audience honestly if they could tell how the trick was done and if so how they could tell. This will give you tips to improve your skills. After this, most magic tricks have levels or "degrees of difficulty" so move on to a harder level. Then look through your local news paper or on the internet for magic schools in the area. I know it seems like these schools or "workshops" are for kids but it honestly helps to have the guidance of a pro hope this helps!
