Craig's Svengali Project, Best Close Up Pads, Card Classics & More! | Q&A With Craig Petty

[@y0uri0]

Hey craig! I absolutely loved your lectures on the magic alon society! Do you think you'll be making more lectures in the near future?

Hi! This question is more for your son, but his channel doesn't have Q&A, so I'll ask you. What's the method for using music in his shows? If it's a bigger show, do you use a phone, USB flash drive, or maybe something else? And for smaller events, do you take your own speaker to the gig? Thanks!

Hi Craig, thanks as always for answering my questions. I realise I often ask questions but forget to say thank you. Since watching your channel, my motivation has increased so much and I have never stopped doing magic since watching you. You make the most incredible KZbin videos and the best magic products so thank you so much. A few questions: 1. I like the tossed out deck but I like the idea of making it more meaningful than playing cards. Are there any other variations of Tossed out deck? 2. I am currently creating a Parlour show (for context - the show is to be performed for part of my taekwondo class, in a private section of a pub for us celebrating international competitors). My ideas so far are to start with the thing where people twist and interlock their hands and they can't untwist but the magician can, and then go into the Thumbs being tied up and throwing rings onto the arm, then do my invisible deck presentation, and then do Mentalism with Evoke. Any thoughts on this and how it can be improved? Thanks as always.

Hi Craig! There were so many great magic tricks out last year that I had a hard time keeping up with them all, and 2024 looks to be the same. Is the magic market ever in danger of being oversaturated?

[@loganseriani3910]

The whole driving question was funny. I listen to your channel every day while I deliver pizzas. I live in the United States, where everything is separated by huge distances. I will drive 100 miles in a couple of hours, then I go home and practice magic.

Love you to do a special on credit card magic.

Hi Craig loving Magic TV really appreciate your time put all this content out there As part of my Parlour / Cabaret set I have decided to go old school with Silk to egg. What is the best tutorial to fine tune performance. My style is fun and comedy. Any help greatly appreciated.

[@StViers]

@29:44 He's definitely talking about loot-box style mystery boxes that promise "x amount of value" for "less than x" amount, but are usually full of duds to clear inventory

[@Reynier1111]

I am thinking about purchasing talk about tricks or richard kaufmans almanac. Do you have any thoughts on these two books featuring periodicals?

[@Davidblaine18]

Great stuff thanks for the information.!! When are you gonna release your Mental Photography Project

[@thecreepypastapoet3673]

Hey Craig, Love the channel. I have written a story to go with an old trick by The Professor. Can you sell a story line? If so, what would you suggest as the best way to go about trying to market it? Thanks for loving magic, and all you do for the community.

Great Q&A as always! I know it came out during a busy time of year for you, have you seen the new Brad Williams special Starfish? If so, what'd you think

[@ToddEisenstadt]

Hi Craig. I always enjoy your show and advice, and it was a true joy getting to shake your hand at Blackpool. Question: I am thinking of restoring a rabbit to my show (been a few years). There seems to be some resistance now to using live animals (they are being cut from circuses, etc.). What do you think? I used to produce a rabbit as a finale to my birthday show and it was the perfect closer. Nothing call follow it. But nowadays, do birthday party parents object or want the rabbit? In your entertainment businesses, how often do you have to drop the rabbit in response to parents? Trying to decide if it is still worth it (have to invest in a hutch of size under my deck if it is going to happen). Many thanks for the great work you do to promote magic.

[@ToddEisenstadt]

Question above is from Todd

[@Mysteryman000]

Yes, please make a top 10, best credit card tricks... My fav is credit card fraud.

[@MichaelLawrenceMagic]

Craig, he's talking about mystery boxes from magic retailers where you pay x amount and you get "mystery" assortment of magic.

Other than Magictv the only other KZbin channel I follow religiously is Erudite Magic. I bring this up regarding your comment about people reviewing Magic books as soon as they come out. The gentleman who does the reviews is an employee of Vanishing inc. and lets you know that, so as to make you aware that there maybe biases involved. I, however, find him to be very honest and fair just as you are with products from companies you work with. He often will review newly released books and I’ve always assumed he may be getting the books earlier than the average Joe. Just pointing out that there is a source, I believe anyway, that can review certain new book releases early. P.S. Thanks for all you do & I’m still dreaming of the day you come to perform at the Chicago Magic Lounge! It’ll be amazing!!

[@Davidblaine18]

What is the best close up caring case?

[@ScottishDave83]

Hi Craig hope your well? Just wanted to say loving your video's . Very inspiring and helpful for new and continued magicians. My question was a nosie. Did you ended up buying Matthew Wights The Master Piece????

[@Hankster27]

Would you recommend envylope 2.0 by penguin magic or vanish by ellusionist. I've been looking for a deck vanish and can't decide between these two
