Regarding my setlist, I don't know how you can understand my show just by reading it, but this was so useful! A lot of great tips, thank you! One more question: you change your show all the time. I try to do this as well, but it's so hard. Maybe it's just me, but all of the tricks are so good that it's hard to decide what to take out of the show. I want to give the audience the best possible show, but I know that nothing will be better than the previous piece, at least not in the first 10 shows. You're the best! Thanks!
Thanks Craig, being called "balls of steel" by you is a great honor! I would really enjoy a video about "perfect tricks to teach to kids", of course if you want to and have time :)
Im a naturally shy person and i dont like being the center of attention, but Im also big into magic and would obviously like to show people my magic. Ive made a few magic videos for social media but I don’t even speak due to shyness, and I’ve never shown anybody in person. I’ve been practicing magic for 5 years at this point. Is this something I need to overcome or do you think theres an alternative route? Like being a silent magician or a masked magician?
Hi craig! Any chance we could get an illusion show tour/breakdown? Maybe a tour of your illusion warehouse? Also thank you for your little chat at the south tyneside magic convention and i hope you enjoyed our part in the family show on the friday!
I have to agree. The tutorials for the Elite Coin Range could have a summary at the beginning of the video. With 9 hours of tutorial for the Night Shade that saves searching time. Anything on the dual reality and instant stooge question from a few weeks ago yet ? By the way you mentioned changes on magic tv. I would regret to watch you ride off into the sunset. The lecture circuit is calling for your expertise I guess ?
Hi Craig thanks for the response. you skipped one of my questions last week (but im not insulted i only shed a little tear 😂) Do you have any good recommendations for a roulette routine with the nail i know the wayne Dobson one is good but I can’t find it anywhere for a reasonable price. Secondly but most importantly!! I dont usually perform but i was called last week to perform for a 6 year old suffering from cancer not knowing what to do i quickly put together a short bit with a sponge ball and a flat sponge using quiver and then used a ten minute set using the cube 52 deck and using the colors i was able to instant stooge the child i had the father choose a card and secretly showed the color to the child and made him read his fathers mind the kid was so happy The father thanked me afterwards and said although he really wanted to know how the kid new the color it was what made his child smile the first time in weeks and doesn’t want to take that joy away from him Thank you Craig your products make people happy and was what made a child smile the first time in a long time ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi craig, thank you so much for answering my questions and for the things you do in this community. I know a lot of people have said it but I really appreciate all you do and to me you're truly one of the best magic mentors out there. So thank you, so much! I also had 2 questions I hoped you could answer for me. 1: I wanted to learn more about the wonderful world of metal bending. So I was wondering what you'd consider to be the best sources for metal bending (books, DVD's or downloads) and I was wondering if you'd do something about metalbending on the Netrix. 2: What would you consider to be the most underrated trick/release of this year? A trick, book or download that flew over everybody's head but something that's absolute killer I'd be happy to know your thoughts on this and again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the great stuff you do. I think everybody prays to have the motivation and persistence that you have for this community!
Hey Craig Question actually. Not really a question but like to thank you from the Home Counties Magical Society and the lecture you gave for us. You were great and so generous at the hotel I booked for you. Also thanks for your feedback on the tetris idea I had. It was greatly appreciated. Also could you give a shout out regarding the Home Counties Magical Society are looking for members so if you are in Berkshire and the surrounding areas please get in contact
hi craig, i have 2 questions for today 1. What is in your oppinion the best version of the magic square? 2. Outside of doing magic i am a classical guitarist and for this reason i need my nails on my right hand to be pretty long (about 3-4 milimeters) i have never been called on for that while doing magic, but do you think it is something i should be concerned abort or am i just overthinking?
Hi Craig, how do you go about patter for a new routine you are trying to put into your set? Do you just wing it or write down the whole script and memorize it?
Hi Craig, could you do a video of either deck switches or open prediction plots? Especially the latter, I haven't seen many open prediction card tricks.
Hi Craig, I have two related questions: First, I have little stage or public speaking experience, but I’ve been hosting a local trivia night on the mic. What lessons from that can help me transition to performing on stage? Second, I’m not naturally high-energy, but I notice it works well with stage audiences. Should I try to adopt a higher-energy persona or stick to my natural style?
Now that ios 18 phones no longer have the swipe feture on the calculator does that mean we have to say goobye to r digit. Do you have any soloutions to this as the new phones just mean that swiping the number off is not possible
Hey Craig I’ve had my eye on chop cup for a few months now and finally pulled the trigger on chop cup by Leo Smetsers and wanted your opinion on best routine for chop cup? Also will there be anything coming on the Netrix. Additionally I bought reborn but I am still only 17 and am dying to use this and obviously flash paper is the best for the production but what would your work around be that doesn’t involve fire? Thanks for all you do!!!
Hi craig, i have a couple questions this week First, what do you consider the trick of the year in 2020, color stix, or magnet0. I've heard you say they were both trick of the year. Secondly, my teacher in high school asked what i wanted to do for my vocation project. I jokingly said magician. So now im stuck with it 😆. I have to interview a magician for the project,and i was hoping i could interview you. If you dont oppose, what would be the best way to contact you privately. Thanks a lot.
Hi Craig, First of all, thank you for the $500 murphy's Magic box competition, I wasn't expecting the win. I emailed Michael but didn't get a reply so just wanted to check he got the email. 1. Are you going to do any more show breakdowns on the channel? 2. Do you have any live performance footage of Petty Cash? 3. I'm really enjoying the matt-umentary s2.5 but is s3 starting soon? Thanks as always! 😀 🪄
Can't watch this without the usual Table of contents links, so I can go to the questions relevant to me.
Yes, we get used to comfort dude !

Can you do a hows and whys of the sans mind ring box gimmick.
