Hi Craig, thanks again so much for answering my questions! Always really exited to see a new Q&A video coming up every week. I hope im not asking too much but I had 2 questions of which I was curious to your opinion. 1. What is your opinion to magic ''mystery boxes''? Do you think they're good to buy so you get tricks you never would've considered before or do you think they're a waste of money? 2. I'm a hobbyist magician trying to become a professional one and do paid gigs. I know there's a lot of videos you've made where you give tips on how to get more gigs or how to deal with spectators, but have you ever made a video on yt or the netrix where you go through, step by step, on how to become a prof. magician starting as a hobbyist? Maybe like a guide in which you explain what the first things are that you need to focus on or where you have to go for certain assets etc. And if you don't have a video like that, would you ever consider making one? Thanks again for the amazing videos and products you bring out every day!!

i need to know who was doing this at Blackpool lol, Thanks for answering my esp matchup question. I've also got pretty close to a method im happy, super excited to see what you've come up with

[@Aric6785]

David from Magic Orthodoxy would be a great interviewer.

Hi Craig, thank you so much for the price comparison! This has confirmed my fears that Tabitha has indeed been diddling me 😂 When approached on the matter, she asked who Craig was and so I stripped to the waist and showed her my custom designed ‘Magic Button’ Y fronts (signed by yours truly) and as if by magic 50% off! 😂😂😂 I cannot thank you enough! 😂 I am just waiting now for new items on your website and then will definitely be securing a Craig Petty signature 🙂 Many thanks Kind regards Ian

[@dvishanmagician]

Not a question - just saying thank you for the kind words you said about me in the instagram young magician video

Hi Craig, Thank you for answering my questions. 1. Are there any Easter magic tricks? I find lots of great Halloween tricks and Christmas tricks but I've never seen any Easter tricks. Are there any Easter tricks on the market or is that something yet to be created? 2. I watched the Katie Test for Mind Blox and really love the routines. I don't know whether Mind Blox would fit my style as I have never really played with Lego but wondered if it is worth getting to learn the routines away? Thanks as always.

Hi Craig, great q&a as always, I have a couple of questions please….. 1) Firstly I’m really interested in doing the suit jacket escape but I cant find it available anywhere, is it a special order item from bill or has it been discontinued, and assuming you know how electronic handcuffs work could it simply be worked out from your live performance you put up? Or is there alot more intricacies involved which are on the tutorials? 2) I’ve been steadily working my way through the silver content on the netrix, and loving the further education, so thank you for trust first of all. my wife runs a pub for a well known chain and I have now started doing alot more close up magic both in her pub and in quite a few of the pubs within the chain. We have been in talks about some dinner and magic tyoe shows I.e parlour style. What would you say is a “typical “ length for a parlour show of this type and how many effects would you normally perform, before you”outstay your welcome:-)) I currently have the following which I’m looking to put into a show, what would be a good set from the following. I have, and can perform most of these already: Silent treatment (opener) Blank night Tossed out deck Lucky envelopes Colour pyschology Venom cube Superfly And love ritual. Looking to purchase no brainier too And I have John Allen’s destination box but have not performed that yet!!! Any help/advice would be greatly received and appreciated Cheers Mac

[@dexterichos]

Hi Craig! First i want to say thank you for all the time and effort uou put in this channel...I'm loving the post blackpool reviews, get to see how the effects look before they are released is really helpful! one question you: did you plan to release Evoke in other languages. I want to perform it so bad! Here in Italy people don't know English very well... please make it happen! Thank you!

[@adriansuter3354]

Hi Craig, I have just read the monthly newsletter by Andy "the Jerx" for his supporters, and he wrote an interesting review on Evoke: Positive, but with some provocative thoughts from his point of view of an amateur/non-gigging magician. Have you read it and if yes, can you share your thoughts?

[@lukejones7246]

As someone with autism it’s a huge spectrum! We have Asperger’s then the serious autism which is the other end of the spectrum! Many don’t like loud bangs eg: balloons popping like myself!

[@stephenpeters8404]

Hi Craig! When we chatted at Magic Live you mentioned you had a book coming out soon. Any update on that?

[@beakstroker]

February, every year, i used tadpoles in the tt. Problem solved.after the show they'd go back in the pond.

[@dvishanmagician]

Do you do the r digit add on r digit plus, is it good ? R digit a lot. Do you think it is worth getting the r digit plus which lets you do it on two borrowed phones with a ufc tag.

[@dylanbphone]

Samson Airline Micro mic has been awesome. Wireless and small. Shure man here normally as well but, the one I mentioned is only $250. Great for a starter.

[@TopTrumpCity]

Hi Craig! Any chance we could get either a review from yourself or Matt on Rex Ignis 2.0. Saw Matt’s bear Pitt performance and thought it was a fantastic presentation of the effect. Thanks :)

[@David-d9g7y]

Craig, could you give me some of the best non card, non mentalism tricks you have seen this year/blackpool. Thanks

[@grgryl]

Could you conpare/contrast your 3 coin sets? - Night Shade, Apparition and Mirage Extreme. Are they suited to different occasions or difficulty levels? How do you choose which to do at a gig? Thanks

[@lewispawley6934]

Hey Craig I’ve got a few questions. I’m putting an act together for family/kids shows I’m wanting to know where the best place is to buy 12 inch linking rings as well as the best place for a case and stand. Thank you!!!

[@simonproctor9187]

The esp matching effect - Clint Barrons Rhines Revenge from alakazam is very good. Was origbally out a few years ago bot sure if still available

[@jonahberg9280]

What are the best card magic books that aren’t too knuckle busting?

[@antonypovey9276]

Hi Craig, I'm looking to put some sort of credit card magic into my routine. Can you tell us anymore about your future credit card magic releases? Many Thanks

[@stephendevonroux]

Hey Craig Hope you well Has Copperfield made the moon vanish I have not seen any videos yet. all i hear it was February Thanks from Stephen Roux South Africa

[@Nightmare91o]

Have you ever performed b'wave? I like the method but I don't really get the different back and the blank cards. Max Maven apparently would tell people it's to rule out sleight of hand, but you barely have to touch the cards anyway to reveal the queen. How do you think laypeople perceive the different back/blank cards and what is it supposed to add from their perspective? It doesn't seem to really prove anything.

[@aimilios-christos363]

If anyone hasn't yet, GET Magic Button, ok?! The depth of content in the tutorial that Craig Petty provided will blow your mind and its worth the cost ALONE, just for that. The number of routines, methods, and sleights, combined with numerous tricks you can perform with this Gem is FANTABULOUS!!

[@dvishanmagician]

My character is never to pretend it is real magic if an adult/ teen asks me is it real I say of course not in a joky way. However a 5 year old kid asked me the other day and he probably genuinely believed it was real magic. In the case do you think I should change my normal character and tell the kid it is real just because telling a kid magic is not real is like telling them Santa is not real and I feel it is not our right to take away the kids belief at such a young age in Santa so I don’t see how it would be different for magic. So should I have made an exception to my normal character in this situation?
