Magic TV Q&A | Full Live Virtual Show From Slightly Unusual!

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

Oh this is a dream come true!!! Seriously -- I get to watch an hour long performance of Craig and crew--- This is just pure entertainment !! Best content on KZbin hands down.

[@schwartzmagie9315]

This is gold, thank you so much, Craig!

[@jakesp16]

Thank you Craig! Appreciate it!

[@darrenbane7804]

Brilliant show.

[@skidicus]

Although I did not know of this show before tonight, I enjoyed getting to see the performances. I hope I can catch the next live show, where I plan to buy a ticket! Cheers!

[@alanlawler6106]

What a great performance 👏🏼10/10

[@razabadass]

Thank you ever so much Craig!!!!! Especially as posting the entire show's footage could've potentially as far as I'm aware at least felt like a sensitive subject! It really helped to act as an inspiration for beginner friendly ideas on the type of tricks to potentially include in a potentially beginner friendly online magic show in future! (I got the feeling that they'd potentialy have to be something completely different to traditional close-up and/or stage effects!). Raza =)

[@REALPARADOX.]

Watched this before the performance of Harmony cant wait for the interview with Lewis he is the best

[@mr.harmon2745]

Brilliant show and Q&A again. Here's a question: 1. Can you do a deep dive on different wallets and the pro and cons of each? Also what wallet do you think is better for taking to a gig, The Nexus Wallet or the Stelath Assassin Wallet?

[@stupidstopmotion4265]

Given your passion for both magic and marketing, have you ever worked as a grafter or pitchman for Svengali decks or other tricks? Thanks 🤩

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

Regarding the first question-- I fall into the category that is just a Hobbyist and I buy way too much stuff!!-- well mostly after watching you perform them and getting your stamp of approval !!! I also look at reviews all over the internet. Overall I've only had a few complete fails where right away I threw the gimmick/prop away.

[@TheMagicanBunny]

Have to point out that I do not hate when you perform xD Maybe I meant to say I hate when new magicians basicly repeat exactly what they see other magicians say or do on youtube. But yeah, totally agree everybody has their own style and phrase of course. Im just a fan thinking what spectator thinks if I say or do things -> kinda same thing when creating routine and asking myself why do I put my hand here, why I grab box ect. Im fan of having every move and word fitting in and being justified :)

[@REALPARADOX.]

Hi Craig hope you and your family doing great my questions for the next QnA are what is your opinion on Emotional Mentalism also is the Effect you told us before few weeks with the lighter from 1914 the new metal bending device they gave us a hint for and something I would like to see from the channel is interviews with Lewis Le Val Titanas Luca Volpe Phedon Billek Perseus Arkomanis and Jt Chalatsis thank you - Chris

[@REALPARADOX.]

and Menny Lindenfeld

[@razabadass]

Also just remembered Craig, how did you bounce back after having felt like you made lots of enemies in the magic community and/or the Magic Circle if possible please? I get the impression that for non-famous people in the small feeling magic community making lots of enemies and losing membership to the Magic Circle (or equivalent clubs abroad) could metaphorically drown you? Raza =) P.S. super well done on not just having reached the stage of a super advance guy but the authenticity behind you! Raza =)

[@razabadass]

Could you if you haven't done so already talk about your viewpoint on the plus and minus points of CRM systems if possiblle please? You're the first to mention them to me as a idea and I'm feeling pretty clueless about them - apparently there are a lot of CRM systems which people can feel are dodgy? Raza =)

[@razabadass]

Another thing Craig, for future reference, how can someone try to sincerely thank you and/or anyone else they've felt helped by from the magic community? I've read online that it can feel like the Wild West out there for up and coming performers and it's a point which resonated with me. Raza =)

[@razabadass]

Could you potentially try to have someone try to interview you in future if possible please? I get the impression that getting to hear more about your experiences could be solid I feel! Sorry this could be sensitive but I mean well, you could talk about your own experiences in an equivalent way to which you've been having other people talk about their experiences during the Magic TV experiences. e.g. You could talk about things how and/why you got into plus stayed into performing, the origins of you setting up Slightly Unusual and the kid's magic show agency, your time on the Wizard Product Review show (sorry I get the impression that it could be a sensitive subject to do with some kind red thing from before I started performing - e.g. how did you try to bounce back if possible please?).

[@pavlovsunhappydog]

Woh oh Craig Petty bam a lam! Thanks Craig. Hey, I wonder where that Dave Forrest is hiding. I'd love to hear a talk with him.

[@alanlawler6106]

Wish I had that skill

[@razabadass]

Can we get your advice on putting together some kind of a beginner friendly 30 minute online show and/or similar if possible please? (in terms of tricks, marketing and/or equipment related set up), Raza =)

[@alanlawler6106]

Hi Craig do you have any routines to include mental die?.....I seem to have come up brain freeze with introducing it with something else .....as it is masterful and I think it needs to be involved with another trick to make it memorable

[@razabadass]

Do you have some beginner friendly advice on how to go from learning individual moves, performing stand alone tricks and having people laugh plus clap to getting a full on set, act and show that hopefully wow people if possible please? Raza =)

[@seanmcnultymagician]

QUESTIONS 1) I'm In the middle of creating my own "show" but wondering your thoughts on the amount of tricks/routines you should have in your show and even in your close up set. 2) During this time of the pandemic should you still avoid handing any props out what if not what routine could you do for the Bride & groom. 3) Thoughts on talking too Shin Lim, Colin Cloud, Ben Earl & one magician who I think is highly underated Mark James.

[@stuartpullen6973]

Hey Craig, you talked about a linking rubber band trick on a review show a while ago that used a loop! I’ve been trying to track down the trick but can’t find it. It was a download! If you or anyone can help let me know . TIA

[@seangough997]

Hey Craig one question what is your absolute favourite magic book that you own ?

[@williammcgregor5832]

Rylan is brilliant

[@razabadass]

Also Craig, could we get to have your advice on how to try to get on the radar of the more advance people including you in a way that's hopefully convenient, consistent and competent from their perspective if possible please? (e.g. this whole idea of networking has traditionally been associated with sensitive brown nosing and/or spam for me in my head). Raza =)

[@razabadass]

Sorry this might sound silly Craig but I mean well: how and/or why technology setting plus motivation wise did you include custom thumbnails for your Instagram magic tv posts if possible please? I’m feeling terrible with technology/social media and am feeling new to the topic of branding. As far as I’m aware Instagram doesn’t really have a built in option for custom thumbnails like KZbin does? I read that uploading custom thumbnails onto Instagram posts requires using a third party app? Raza :)

[@razabadass]

Sorry for the multiple comments there - don't worry, I don't expect you to have the chance to go through all or any of them, put them down while feeling clumsy in case they help as potential topic ideas for future videos, Raza =)

[@Mychannel56980]

Is Chop ever going to be rereleased?

[@MagoEfrain]

PLEASE you can do a rant, an honest review or just Laugh at this for me! Colors Rolls by Marcos Cruz and FLAVOR 3D by Marcos Cruz

[@magic-tv]

I’m looking at the trailers at the moment. I can’t quite believe what I’m seeing

[@MagoEfrain]

@@magic-tv ROFL! Could you imagine if the effects are even worse in real life? I don’t know how some tricks get to be made

[@razabadass]

Do you have any beginner friendly wisdom on the topic of trying to stay strong when faced with sensitive feeling hate comments if possible please Craig? Apparently hate comments tend to often stem from feelings of jealousy, hidden inner insecurities and considered more of a reflection of those classed as haters, keyboard warriors and/or two faced etc...

[@TylerLunsfordMagic]

I've heard you mention professional wrestling on the channel before, are you into professional wrestling such as WWE, AEW, NXT UK, etc.?

[@kieranshepherd6715]

craig watches wwe :) im a aew guy

[@billgreen4003]

yep cups and balls illusion

[@andyw10]

I didnt realize this live show was meant to be a childrens show i thought it was going to be for adults. I was looking forward to it but a bit disapointed.

[@magic-tv]

Andy. That’s quite insulting it was a family show but 95% of the audience were adults. If you seriously think the style or content was a kids show I really don’t know what to say. Like I say. I find that comment quite insulting.

[@andyw10]

@@magic-tv its not meant to be insulting. Like you say all the time its just my opinion.
