Guys, check this one out.

This has the potential to be something big, perhaps?  I remember when first starting out, I didn't have a proper course to start from - I was forced to pick and choose from many various training materials, no knowing which ones were good for where I needed to go and which weren't.  Having it laid out like a proper course - and accessible from pretty much anything with a web connection - sounds like a good idea.  It's not just learning to be a "trick monkey" - you learn the skills.

There's plenty of books out there that may cover this ground - and perhaps they even do it better.  But how many people today stop to read a book?  :))  This looks like it is a good way for a starting magician who's not big on reading to jump right in and start learning some skills.  The "accessible (nearly) anywhere" part is icing on the cake - no shiny plastic discs to carry around.
