Top 10 Utility Devices For Magicians | Magic Stuff With Craig Petty

[@TgThump]

Craig! Congrats on being Penguin Magic’s Creator of the Year 2022! Well done!!!

[@harryhocus7367]

The Acro? The rest of the list is fine ..but the Acro Index? What about a shell? Invisible string, wax, sponge balls? Short cards, flash paper, rough and smooth?

[@robjacks2748]

This was one my favourite shows of yours of all time.

[@jean-lucgagnier3602]

So essential : Himber wallet and thumb tips Lol silent assistant became the silent assasin...are you an amateur of horror movies Craig !? XD

[@bradbennett8170]

What’s the force called with the double backer mate?

[@davidfillary]

If you're going to include a gaffed card, then I feel a shell should be mentioned here for coins - it can be used for so many different effects. Otherwise a great video and I need to re look into some of these.

[@alanlawler6106]

Can't believe you didn't include the Quiver Craig?🙃.....its a master piece of equipment and a fooler

[@cart6069]

totally agree, was my first thought after hearing the number one 😉

[@Genethagenius]

Me too! Quiver is honestly one of the best magic gimmick/apparatus I’ve ever used. Well made, and just can do sooooooo much with it!

[@muppetonmeds]

Yes, a modern-day change bag that doesn't look like a change bag.

[@poogu72]

Thanks Graig, great video.

[@houdannycomedymagic8642]

This video is a great service to us - thanks much. I just went into my garage and grabbed Tool, never used. Will now be using!

[@magi2]

Back in the 80s I knew of a Magician that used a silver thumb tip (he painted it silver) and when he used it no one ever noticed. Love my Himber Wallet

[@JoeMontisano]

Hi Craig, Love your work and tricks. You are the master. I am a hobby magician at best but my first trick was one of yours and I continue to invest if your tricks. Point of this Email is to compliment you on your sons performance on AGT. I was watching and happened to catch his performance. It was great, well done and very professional. What i really loved is when they cut to you cheering him on and at the end. Your reaction, beaming pride and shear joy was amazing to watch. I know you ar very proud of your young protégée. Keep up the good work and the same to your son. Thanks for what you do.....

[@jday4217]

Loved this video Craig! Very helpful and a few of the items I've had in the bottom of a box for years.

[@Mysteryman000]

This was a good one, thanks Craig

[@az7500]

Great video. I am surprised you did not mention the reel and coin/ball /card clips.

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

Oh yes love this list-- I have everything on it-- except for a Topit-- going to have to look into that!!! Always carry 3 d/backers with me for your Back Off routine-- and other applications. Also usually carry a red/blue d/backer as can do some great stuff with those.

[@Narufan1001]

The Raven is not on the list? I've been wearing it everywhere I go for almost a decade now. So many possibilities!

[@themagicofseth]

I figured acro index would be on the list, but surprised to see #1! Can't wait to get one. Also surprised to see the quiver didn't make the list

[@Wabojeg]

Great video. However, I have to ask something. My fingers are similar in size to Craigs. I haven't found a way to keep a Silent Assistant to stay on my finger? How do you do it? Epoxy?

[@Noleggeisha]

You rock, Craig. Super practical as usual.

[@droidx1191]

Anyone know where to get Boom Box? It seems to be sold out everywhere...

[@ndmagic99]

Great vid! Would love to see your thoughts on the TT and Silent Assistant. Perfect Score is great but I like the Bullet better. The video that comes with it is packed with killer material. I would add the Quiver purse. A must have. I would also add Cody Fisher’s Magic Wan(repo glue stick). The glue is decent but the amount of absolute killer tricks he teaches is worth 3 times the price. Finally I’d add Science Friction by cardshark. Brilliant and the things it allows u to do are amazing

[@rickcleveland310]

What’s the force you do with a double backer? It sounded like you called it the “crisp force”?

[@gardeningfarm553]

The Christ force kzbin.info/www/bejne/baPJpZqIp7iYh6M

[@nickroberts-xf7oq]

Christ

[@72A1D372]

We need a Craig Petty DVD/Download on just using Double Backers!!! How come Penguin doesn't already have one???

[@themysteriousmr]

Thanks i like boom box got 2 but its a little fragile i always get an Extra 1 ifl ike it

[@Brythemagicguy1]

Jeff kaylors tko was a really cool interpretation of a topit

[@ruffcutmagicreview]

Tool could be improved. The box should be made bigger to fit a full deck,also, the gaff should be thinner to make dls easier.😊

[@Noleggeisha]

I would add the switch-a-two personally!

[@nateschipper357]

Thoughts anyone? if you had to pick only one of the two case utilities you mentioned, would it be boom box over tool? Thanks!

[@petdetect]

Nice list. I'd love to see the runner up list 😁 Quiver and coinshells have been mentioned, but Insider (Mark Oberon) would be on my list as well.

[@andrewrosney5708]

Great list, some things I'd not heard of which is great but as utility devices go I was expecting to see the Raven up there but subjective so can't complain

[@cromulentcorncommander]

Thumb tip crew

[@Ken-Thomson]

Hey Craig, I have (and use) the M-box all the time,which looks a lot like the boom box. Are there any significant differences.

[@funjuror]

Hi, can you make up the Boo Box as it wears away, or is it made of plastic ?.

[@cart6069]

Crisp force

[@tryreadingmore4440]

As a newbie I would have liked to have seen these items to get some sense of how they look. Other than that, thanks for posting.

[@thisismagicmywa]

On the topic of the Acro Index, can you use a different color sharpie/dry erase marker?

[@johnrutherford4042]

Yes craig thatll be brilliant if you could start doing more on the himber wallet ive got one but a bit stuck for ideas love your videos keep up the excellent work well done

[@TheAmazingSpaghetti]

I created what became Silent Assistant on my own before SA came out. I had thought about marketing it, but oh well, ya snooze ya loose. It really has a ton of uses, I don't know why it's not more popular. I use it for Animated Card in Balloon of Death or anything where a hidden magnet is needed.

[@Vyaterboys]

I still would love to see you perform beyond reform!

[@Genethagenius]

I had David Stone’s “Tool”. Maybe I was too new to magic at the time, I just couldn’t find a way to make it work for me. Sounds like time to pull it out of the drawer…

[@Davidblaine18]

Are you gonna review defaced by Martin bareease?

[@Davidblaine18]

You should make a video of you using all these UTILITIES

[@CardsharpChris]

Great list, Craig…but, what about The Servante? I don’t know, maybe I’m looking at things the wrong way?

[@DiegoSchmunis364]

What? No quiver? 🤔

[@jackAndrews666]

How many cards can a boom box switch for a packet switch?

[@darcyzhang4739]

no loops?

[@mathmusicstructure]

I love your content but there's no way boom box and acro index are above the tt. Still though thanks for the video!

[@AdrianSalamonMagic]

going to fish my tool gimmicks out the drawer now..

[@SoulfulSelf]

Unhanded!!

[@72A1D372]

Can we please get an all about keychain gimmicks video?

[@bboyudon]

seconded!

[@andrewrosney5708]

Also...I know yer a very humble fellow, but recently purchased Chop which should definitely go in the top ten as a utility device! Crikey it blows minds

[@colinrumford2265]

No boon writers 🙁

[@Uniquettt]

The biggest shame for me is that David stone's tool is more know known as the top of the box gaff with no credit going to David stone for his idea

[@jamesmcconaty8575]

Craig.... terrific video. Thank you! Do you have a recommendation for a quality front pocket Himber wallet? Some of the Himber wallets are so large.....I'm looking for a wallet just a bit larger than the Shadow Wallet.

[@jeffreyschoeneck1955]

👍🏼

[@kapilagarwal9244]

Don’t get the acro index, it’s just an overpriced flap card. The fact that it’s #1 on the list is very sus.

[@Illusion1023]

Could you combine tool with boom box in the same card box

[@72A1D372]

No loops? Loops are the best utility device ever!!!

[@rickcleveland310]

What’s the force you do with a double backer? It sounded like you called it the “crisp force”?

[@michaelgambit6432]

Think its Christ force by Henry Christ,
