[@tonycurtismagic8532]

Peter, thanks for the mention.

[@magic-tv]

Thanks for watching Tony

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Thank you for all the lovely comments. This did feel a little like therapy :-)

[@magic-tv]

Lol! Thanks for coming on the channel Peter you’re amazing yes

[@Tomrolfe700]

Peter is such an amazing and welcoming person. Although I live in Canada Alakazam became my local magic dealer because of how Peter and his team made us part of their family. So glad you were able to get Peter to do an interview. Thank you Craig.

[@magic-tv]

I’m really glad I could get Peter to do an interview as well. He is such a great guy

[@tiffanyqueenofmagic1836]

This is the best Talk Magic I have seen yet. Couldn’t stop listening the whole way though.

[@magic-tv]

🙏🙏🙏

[@niets9270]

Great interview! Peter Nardi is a legend but so is Craig he is doing the magic industry a favor with these videos.

[@magic-tv]

Thank you so much. Really appreciate the kind words

[@tricko2211]

Peter is a truly great guy and so generous. He will always have time for you no matter what. The Magic Company has grown and grown and I believe we are in for even better things.This interview was amazing.

[@swissarmytenor]

Superb. Craig, a good interviewer knows when to talk, and when to let someone talk. You struck a perfect balance here with Peter. Peter was great, but Craig's restraint while in the interviewer chair was just as great.

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Craig is the best interviewer !

[@Jonnyf1234]

Excellant interview! I think Peter should write a book, I have a feeling he has so much more to tell. An inspiration to magicians and entrepreneurs alike.

[@IainBaileyMagic]

Peter Nardi is one of the nicest guys in magic. Being a family run business really gives Alakazam a unique feel. Great guy, great company, great interview!

[@magic-tv]

Thanks mate. Peter made it really easy, he is an awesome guy

[@franktougas3830]

Craig you have the ability in your interviewing to get people to open up and talk for long periods of time about their life about their loves it's incredible and this is a skill that comes from you, unlike most interviewers who are constantly interrupting and talking and just trying to be the leader of the show you sit back and you listen that is a skill that makes all the difference LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD 🇺🇸 for doing that I appreciate all of your interviews can't wait till the next one

[@pavlovsunhappydog]

Absolutely brilliant, what a great endorsement for Alakazam this was..i just fell in love with them. Lovely stories from Peter..what a stand up and authentic guy. Honestly i've never been enamoured by any magic company ever before. Totally inspiring.. real magic!

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Thank you 🙏

[@Olly-fz5fi]

Fantastic interview. My favourite one of all. Peter is a superstar in magic. Thank you Craig.

[@gerrycee6496]

Just finished watching this. Fantastic interview..A.K.A. Nardi monologue 🤭 Very engaging man to listen to. Thank you Craig and Peter😊

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Thank you Gerry, thanks for watching

[@mikekirby5457]

I loved this interview. Peter is awesome! Keep up the good work Craig.

[@mr.harmon2745]

This is a brilliant interview so far 👏. Probably my favourite interview, so much solid advice 👍. Alakazam is my favourite magic dealer as well 😀

[@magic-tv]

Alakazam rock. Enough said

[@cliffordsmagic]

what a great interview with peter. Also the alakazam discord is defo something people should checkout. so friendly and welcoming. i learnt the elmsley count thanks to andy who sent me in the right direction after a video room chat. so friendly and welcoming. all the team are amazing

[@MexieMex]

The Alakazam Discord is one of the better magic discords, not the best IMHO, but I am a little biased LOL

[@andyY_112]

Great talk. I love hearing from the voices behind the effects. I am waiting for Envision to get back in stock.

[@michaelhernandezpeterson9831]

Peter Nardi is brilliant! I have become a huge fan of Alakazam over the last year. So many excellent products, great service, and fantastic content in so many venues! Nicely done, Craig and Peter!

[@mattym4451]

You didn't talk too much, we watch these to hear you talk! Great interview!

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Thank you 🙏

[@paulwatts25]

Very good, interesting and entertaining interview, well done Craig and Peter.

[@stephenverity4134]

Great memories of late night card games, losing my money to Peter, in the recording studio listening to magic being made. Truly a nice guy.

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Hope you're well Steve. Used to love our late night card games

[@razabadass]

Thank you Craig and Peter for the interview - I appreciated it! I also appreciated you also talking about how to potentially try to get on Alakazam Magic Shop's radar so to speak as an up and coming inventor of effects in the magic community! Raza =)

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

I can't wait to see your creations!

[@razabadass]

@@AlakazamMagicUK Oh I didn’t expect a reply from the shop’s account but did appreciate it! Thank you! I don’t want to jinx it or anything but the first ever social media series for me has recently finished filming for me. I don’t consider myself to be a creative inventor person or anyone like that that but one potential idea’s to try to get on the shop’s radar anyway in case you guys ever end up feeling that I’ve become advanced enough to be a potential additional performer person for magic shop product video trailers! Raza :)

[@KevGmagician]

Great interview 🙌 really enjoyed listening

[@magic-tv]

Thanks Kev. You are on tonight on 5x5. It’s a sneak peek of your interview.

[@htmagic]

I've ordered from Alakazam in the past from across the big pond. I learned quite a bit from this video.

[@csmtree]

I love Alakazam!!!! Great interview

[@geoffpartner3485]

And l thought l knew Peter, great interview learnt so much about Alakazam loved it, Peter you need to write that book!!

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

One day it will happen :-)

[@michaelpatersondj]

So cool to hear Peters early days in the rave production and djing scene. I can relate so much being a dj, producer and amateur magician 🕺

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Hi Michael, I used to release under the name Noise Overload it's old skool hardcore. Right Here Right Now And Toon Town were two of the tracks I was really known for

[@michaelpatersondj]

@@AlakazamMagicUK I work for 23rd Precinct and we released a lot of old hardcore in the early 90s and had a record shop of the same name in Glasgow. Great interview 👌🏻

[@michaelpatersondj]

@@AlakazamMagicUK I’ll check them out

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

@@michaelpatersondj oh wow, it's surprising how many messages I had from people who have followed the same sort of path as us

[@michaelpatersondj]

@@AlakazamMagicUK Creatives Peter 😂👌🏻 Djs and magic

[@andyrichardson162]

Really good interview, Peter's a good fella 👍

[@dahlah13]

What a fascinating great insight into a true gentleman magician.

[@TheRelish1]

Great interview. Surely the future has to be a Peter Nardi book too!

[@magic-tv]

That would be incredible

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Thank you 🙏

[@PaulSmith-qw8vq]

Never had you down as a B Boy Peter. I used to DJ hip hop and early house until kids come along but last year for my 48th birthday the wife bought me a pair of turntables. Great interview Craig. Alakazam are something else.

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Hi Paul, sold my 1210's when i was 23 I believe but treated myself to a pair about 10 years ago (Mid Life Crisis :-)

[@thedeck52]

Well it's now 5.30am been up all nigh and it was well worth it, another great interview fascinating insight to how people start off in magic and also other skills you would never think of in that person ,well done to you Pete and your family, great interview graig love it,

[@magic-tv]

Thanks for the kind words. I think that Peter has one of the most interesting back stories I’ve heard so far

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Thank you 🙏

[@AndyCooper761]

All of the Talk Magic’s have been great, but for me this was the best so far. Would you consider an interview with Alakazam’s Andy Smith?

[@magic-tv]

Absolutely!

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

Thank you and I agree Andy Smith would be a great interview

[@frankde6256]

There may be a few demonstrators better than you (Peter) but your the most likable.
