Thank you everyone for the tips! I started looking other decks but for now I'll just get this 4 pack of bicycle standards and learn and practice with them. 4 pack of bicycle standards
If you don't have much money to spend Royal Road to Card Magic is great if a little dated. Card College Vol: 1 and the other 4 volumes are more modern and have better illustrations and descriptions in my opinion, but they are somewhat more expensive. Either should keep you busy for quite a while and both contain great effects.
CARD TRICKS FOR BEGINNER MAGICIANS is now live on Amazon and available for the next 3 days only to be downloaded for FREE. The link is here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B46G152K

We hope you enjoy the it and, if you're able to, please leave a review to help others find the book! :)
Mr Clean Magic Eraser and a light touch.
Expert Card Technique is one of my bibles... Also Card College by Roberto Giobbl
Unless you're looking for a specific edition the book is easily obtainable https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Book-Complete-Beginners-Anywhere/dp/1935909983/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&qid=1599871057&refinements=p_27%3AHarry+Lorayne&s=books&sr=1-2&text=Harry+Lorayne
I usually just order them on Amazon.
You can get most things like that (blank cards, double-backed cards, etc) from magic retailers, and Amazon has a few that sell through their marketplace, so they're easy to order.
You're looking for "card control".
Get The Royal Road to card magic and run through it in order.
It will walk you through a lot of easy card controls for top, bottom, packet, and just general false shuffles and false cuts.
For me, the DVDs for Royal Road were better.

As for books, I found Card College Vol 1(Giobbi) to be extremely helpful.
Shane Cobalt practices on glass so he can perform on any surface.
That being said... for a back-pocket mat you may want to find a medium sized thin mouse pad.
I have a card storage box like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000K41E7E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_BCgLyb7BFBSEF. I put all my worn out stuff in this as well as those promo cards and some gaffs like double backers. It keeps them somewhat organized and out of my way I often go into this box when I need to make my own gaffs or replace a card etc.
Or you can get the Kindle e-book version which you can view on Android or iOS, It is just $2.28 on Amazon...
