People don't like seeing Craig on every project? I get disappointed when Craig ISN'T on a project lol.

[@90dayfiance69]

Craig is a beast. It’s pretty insane.

[@scotburklin5109]

LOL, same, (all apologies to Craig’s wife!). Seeing Craig in a tutorial puts a product one step closer to a “must buy” for me, as I know I’m going to get well thought out, practical, working material.

[@SamColemanCreative]

@@scotburklin5109 Genuinely. Like, even if the product is pants - I know I'll find something gold in the hours of material that Craig usually puts onto a tutorial.

[@OfficialPhazeMusic]

Maaaan Craig, you didn’t have to make this video bro. Everyone that has a neg comment about you is literally irrelevant. There is no reason for them to even watch your channel OR COMMENT if they don’t like you. It just shows how miserable they are and have nothing better to with their time than watch someone on KZbin that they don’t like and comment just to try to get a rise out of you. Don’t reply to them, ignore them, and do them and yourself a favor and block them on your channel. Your real fans love you bro, and we appreciate the amazing things you contribute to the magic community. It’s not easy to make a solid living from being a magician and you’ve managed to be successful thru obvious hard work and decades of dedication. Screw them bro. In my opinion you are amazing, your magic style and the sarcastic/conman character you play when you perform is extremely entertaining and you are one of my all time favorite magicians along with Michael Ammar. Keep doing you my friend, your real fans truly appreciate every piece of content you put out. Much love from all the way across the pond in Miami Florida. ❤

[@dgoldberg2008]

Craig you are one of the hardest working magicians I know. People have no clue how tiring it can be to work a trade show booth. Just watching you work the Penguin booth at ML made me tired.

[@karl_sunagawa]

Hey Craig. I’m the magician from Hawaii that met you at Magic LIVE. I met you both at Magic LIVE 2024 & 2023 😎 I love your channel. It has truly helped me to be a better magician, performer, & entertainer. Negative ppl will always have negative things to say. They thrive on negativity. Hope those few negative peeps won’t steal your joy of the countless ppl who appreciate you & what you do for our magic community 🔥 Thank you for being approachable. It was an honor & pleasure meeting you at the last 2 conventions 😎 Keep on keeping on!!! 💪🏼

[@loganseriani3910]

Most people that hate Craig are just Jealous because they will never be able to achieve what he has. Craig has literally saved me thousands of dollars with his reviews and has also helped me perform killer magic. If you don't like Craig, then literally go do something else with you time because no one if forcing you to watch him. Craig is the man.

[@Taveren001]

Hey, Craig. You have always been one of my favorite creators. Ever once I saw you in a blank deck magic DVD. I stopped watching Magic Review after you left. But, I noticed you have been very prolific the last few years, and my only thought was… “Wow! It’s about time he shared so much of his knowledge on all genres of magic!” I notice that you are “asked” to help demonstrate people’s projects, and to add your own special perspective and performance styles on other creators’ projects! If people were to open their eyes and ears, they would know that you are well thought of, respected and sought out by other creators, magicians and shops. I want to just let you know, “Keep your chin up, and keep up the wonderful work!” -- Rob

[@AlakazamMagicUK]

I just want to chime in and wholeheartedly agree with what Craig said about his contributions and work on other people’s projects, especially when it comes to Alakazam. Whenever I ask Craig for help on a project, his answer is always the same: “Yes!” He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that the end user gets more than their money’s worth. There have even been times when I’ve sent Craig a finished project as a gift, and without me even asking, he’s gone ahead and filmed additional routines-entirely at his own expense and on his own time-to add even more value to the project. I’ve truly never met anyone in this industry who is as generous with their time and knowledge as Craig. Peter Nardi

26:41 I got mentioned in a craig pettt video 🥳🎉 i just wanted to say thanks for the best 16th birthday ever

[@fatty1025]

Craig, I love you man. But you should just ignore the haters (I know, easier said than done). But I like what you said at the beginning, on keeping things positive, giving advice and giving back to the community. I say keep going that route, and ignore the negativity when you can, it can be bad for your mental health. Life is too short. Take care and God bless.

[@garrywilliams6729]

I agree with your whole outlook here. Though I also understand Craig's reasoning. Not addressing these questions could be misconstrued negatively, by not even acknowledging them could be used against him as they could claim Craig was choosing to only answer the easy questions and not revealing there are those who call him out on various aspects. Look at the UK right now, ignoring a problem won't make it disappear but will only fuel the agenda.

[@magic-tv]

I try to keep it positive but honestly when the police are called and sent round my house shaking my wife up and upsetting her that is beyond ignoring the hate. It’s personal

[@dwainschenck543]

You give more to the magic community and do more for the art than anybody. For what it's worth, I wouldn't waste one breath addressing the hate and misinformed, often ignorant comments sent your way. Sure, it's entertaining to watch you get worked up justifying what you do, but not necessary. Those who know, know. Keep up the great work and spare your blood pressure going through the roof. Keep spreading the joy Magic brings to millions of people. Peace.

[@rolfschullenberg7589]

The most important thing that should count for everyone who watches your videos or reviews is that they are HONEST. And you do Craig! You and Ryan say openly and in your own way (sometimes even humorously) whether a product is good or not. And that is what I/what we value so much. There is absolutely nothing negative! All of your videos, regardless of topic, are great! Thank you for that!

[@spookytkid]

What the holy hell is wrong with ppl? I love magic I am trying to become a magician and it's very difficult for me. Craig has helped me so much with his channel. But these ppl make me never want to be apart of this community. I will learn work on my magic an avoid almost every magician I can find except for a very few... I just don't need this type of drama... Glad ur here Craig. Too bad ppl like these are a part of this.

[@huzidamasta]

Anything on this earth that involves humans also involves drama. There's pretty much no path in life you can take that avoids that, so you might as well take the path of what interests you. The drama's the inevitable package regardless.

[@spookytkid]

@@huzidamasta yes I get that. But I still cannot believe what i see in this community. I was a professional musician, music teacher, i did instrument repair, ran sound and lighting. I worked very hard at creating a community with hundreds of musicians. We had drama too but nothing on this level. I parouse magic forums and after 10 min I know I don't want to be a part of any of it. This is one of the most cutthroat toxic communities I have ever seen mixed with a few of the most amazing wonderful ppl you could ever meet. I will chose to keep my distance and my guard up and look for those of you who fit the latter.

[@mindtorquemusic]

As a muso I couldn't believe how terrible most 'magicians' are. They make musicians look like saints!​@@spookytkid

Always going to be here for you Craig! Everything you do is for the sole purpose of helping the Magic community! ❤❤❤

[@MikieMagiC1]

Craig, Most people who say bad things about people are jealous or they are just jerks. You have changed many Iives doing what you do so some people are not worth it. Thank you for being who you are and by the way you are a Great Dad for what I’ve seen and a Great family man! Thanks again!

[@quickplaya]

I love that you bully me.. You bully me into becoming a better magician! You bully me to get off my ass and practice practice practice! You bully me to think outside of the norm and develop amazing routines using a plethora of tidbits of information from many many tricks and many many magicians. You bullied me into developing my own identity in magic and for that I'm grateful! Keep doing what you're doing man f*** the haters honestly we all love you You have been an inspiration to all of us and you are going to go down in magic History as the most helpful KZbin magician and no f****** lie. Love you man!

My pleasure!

[@PaulSmith-qw8vq]

Craig, stumbled across your channel during lockdown and at the time I had lost interest in magic, you reignited my love for magic for which I am eternally grateful. Your channel is part of my daily routine now and myself and im sure thousands of others truly appreciate all you and your staff and family do. Fuck the haters.

[@samuelhodges3119]

Well for the record, Craig. I never met you and never cared about how you act. You are not always a Mr. Rogers but that’s not for me to judge. I didn’t even get mad at you when you never replied to my Direct Mail to you. Something inside of me said to be mad at you for not responding back to me even after I gave you the courtesy to grant me permission to do something on behalf of you after supporting you all these years. But even with that I didn’t hold it against you. I mentioned that not to rub it in your face, but to make the point that you are going to be you. But I decided not to fill myself with all that negativity😂. Like the song goes: Don’t worry, be happy😊. I rather to be happy.

[@magic-tv]

Hey Samuel. I’m sorry I didn’t reply. I get 100s of messages a day and it’s not always possible to reply to everyone. If I missed you I’m sorry. Feel free to reach out again and I will look at for your message. Happy to help if I can Cheers

[@DamageIncBHS]

Is that a bag from Skyline I see behind you? As a lifelong Ohioan, I love to see it 😂😂😂

[@Jim_S.]

Greatest food known to man. I miss living in Cincinnati and having access to late night Camp Washington Chili.

[@johnreynolds1076]

Wow. Some of these topics are really driving me nuts... So what if Craig gets tricks for free. He proved he does not, but so what if ever he did. The review show is of great value to people like me who have limited money. The more products that can get reviewed, the better. Because less crap will end up in the bottom drawer. And so what if Craig would "whore himself out", people need to make money. I also whore myself out to my employer for 40+ hours a week so I can provide for my family. Why should Craig not be allowed to do that? And personally I just like his content as well. He's a great teacher. I appreciate the honesty and straightforwardness.

[@iancampbell1576]

Craig I really appreciate what you do for our magic community. I find your content extremely helpful and informative. It’s a shame you have to do videos like this but good on you!! Keep up the great work and thank you for Magic TV!!

[@BrandonGruber0]

It only takes one toxic person to suck all the enjoyment out of a magic community. Ban the negative jerks early and often I say. Thanks Craig for sticking through it. I enjoy all your videos.

[@Davidblaine18]

Get ‘em. CRAIG!!!!!

[@Mysteryman000]

I think most of these people doing damage, are magicians who create fake accounts and try to slander Craig's name because of how much he has achieved on KZbin, and also because you were honest about there bad tricks you reviewed. Its good to make people aware of this, but dont let it stop you or get to you too much.

[@d4round584]

Craig, I love seeing you on projects - your enthusiasm is fantastic and encourages me to try magic that I would otherwise try to avoid as a result. Ignore those haters, perhaps if they invested more time and effort in their own performances and in helping others, they would be happier.

[@andyjones7057]

Hi Craig, really appreciate your work to support the magic community at large. I don't like everything you have released, or always agree with your reviews of other projects, but at the end of the day your reviews are your opinions - and I respect that. Your work has steered me towards some great products. For all the haters, do your own research, just because you disagree with an opinion it doesnt make it wrong. If you dont like Craig find another review source, but stop disrespecting him for having an opinion different to yours. Keep up the great work Craig

[@eriktait434]

I know Craig can’t say no to stuff because I asked him to help me move and he did.

[@erictrainor4345]

Never ask a magician for help with a move - they always assume it’s about the diagonal palm shift.

I didn't know you paid for the review products. I think it's absolutely fine if people send you products to review and you give your honest appraisal. Even more impressive that you do but you have a family, I think most of the decent people wouldn't have an issue if you didn't pay for every product.

[@RaisedAce]

I've only ever seen positive comments on your videos. You seem to get a lot of love from people which is well deserved.

[@stevenmills3507]

Well done video. I have long complained that most all reviewers generally fail when dealing with the “value proposition”. Your example of the late a Scott Alexander’s Super Fly is a good example. If I would have bought that I would have felt royally screwed. Obviously, you felt differently. Scott’s stuff was always at the top of the cost scale. Had I reviewed that. I would have mentioned his pricing and let the buyer work from that.

[@jlebowitz8325]

I'm always disappointed when you are on a project--the quality teaching is just too high, the instructions are far too clear, and there are too many interesting ideas... why can't you just to a < 5 minute tutorial with just a quick description of how the thing works? An hour tutorial for a $19 product???? Keep doing this and your customers will all ACTUALLY get their money's worth.... and they may even be able to actually DO the trick after they buy it. It's getting to the point that I won't be able to complain that the magic industry is going to hell....

[@Bloody_alchemy]

You're awesome Craig. Fuck da haters !

[@MillerMike214]

Jesus Christ man “RELAX”. WTF

[@magic-tv]

This is beyond a ‘RELAX’ moment. When someone calls the police telling them I’m a wife and child beater which causes my wife untold upset as she has to spend all afternoon explaining to the police it’s all a lie. That’s now personal and something I can’t just brush off

Scott Alexander I think was recommended by Bob Kohler to charge exorbitant amounts for tricks. Bob did the same thing. No one demands I buy the trick so I have no problem.... Craig love the reviews. I understand it's annoying to listen to the naysayers....but there are many more people who love your work

[@magic-tv]

I know but calling the police and telling them I beat my wife is crossing a line. It’s really shaken my wife up. This is beyond simply magic beef
