Magic Books I Haven't Read (Yet)
This engaging video from Erudite Magic takes a refreshing and relatable approach, departing from the usual book reviews to instead focus on a list of magic books the creator *hasn't* read, despite knowing they should. Inspired by Ryan Holiday's "Ego is the Enemy," the creator aims to be transparent about the reality that even dedicated magicians don't get through their entire library. Presented as a conversation with fellow "arudite magicians," the video offers insights and strategies for tackling a backlog of magical literature. The creator shares a diverse selection of books they intend to study, including 'The Complete Walton' by Roy Walton, 'Mysteries of My Life' by René Levand, 'Very Hush Hush' by John Bannon, 'My Way to Mentalism' by Tony Binelli, 'Roy Benson by Starlight' by Lant & Todd Carr, 'Mr. Jennings Takes It Easy' by Richard Stone, and 'Denny Haney Collected Wisdom' by Denny Haney. Practical tips are shared for managing a large magic book collection, such as creating a list, noting your 'why,' keeping books handy, embracing imperfection, and using a notebook and pen. The video emphasizes finding material that suits your personal style and encourages viewers to be accountable to themselves in tackling their reading lists.
