We get these two questions the most, "Where should new players begin?" and "Where can they learn to play Magic?" There are a few different answers. If you have a good internet connection you can download a demo that will teach you the basic rules of Magic. It is the demo of the Microprose computer game.
Wizards of the Coast used to have a download of the Magic demo
available on their website. It was a great way to learn the game. It isn't available from their website anymore, but it does come packed with the 2 player starter set.
If you want to learn how to play with real cards instead of a
computer demo, then try out the
2-player starter sets.
Wizards of the Coast has made an 8th and 9th Edition/Core Set demos on CD available. They were to be distributed at Hobby and Gaming stores.
If you can't get a copy at your local card shop, try our demo-page, I know we still have some available. The best way to learn Magic is to watch a few games, ask some questions, get a starter deck, and then just start playing with somebody. If you can't find anybody to watch then try playing on the Magic Online free server. You'll need to download and install the Magic Online game to your pc. If you need a little more help, try the Magic Online Academy, where you'll find links to all kinds of articles about Magic Online. Each article is written to help players better understand and enjoy the game.

Wizards
has made Portal boxed sets to help new players get into the
game. And there is also a book written to make sure you don't
have any trouble learning the mechanics of the game.
