@@baltazarrecord3687 Craig already addresses that claim of thievery in one of his videos on this channel. If you knew anything about that brother you would have watched the video.
Craig one thing I take from this video is the pure passion you put into this product. I honestly cannot believe the $40 price tag was being questioned with a 5 hour tutorial. That’s just wrong and shouldn’t have been said. Great video Craig. Loved the live performances thanks for gifting these to us fans!
The fact that I need to nag you constantly to send me an invoice so I can pay you should tell everyone how money is certainly not your motivation. It’s the love of sharing magic. And as one of the people in your trailer i would love to say ‘Craig Petty didn’t fool me’ but that would be a lie. I was fooled badly!
@@baltazarrecord3687 Alrighty then troll. Take your bully tactics elsewhere. Cuz if you actually cared about the truth you would be listening to all sides not just one that favors your opinions and biases.
@@baltazarrecord3687 The 5 hours of video instructions give you multiple options for how to perform the trick if they name a number less than 11 or more than 31, and the moves involved are not hard. The performance videos also show him performing the trick for a couple of women at a bar who named 47, and they were totally fooled and amazed and delighted. Get a clue.
I've been doing close up magic for over 50 years. I couldn't give a blue fuck what magicians think about a certain trick! It's for me to perform, I'll make that judgement for myself. Thank you, Craig, for addressing this bullshit by Dancy and whoever the other guy is. I ordered the Quantum Deck from Penguin shortly after you released it. Even not having the deck yet, and becoming aware of a couple of restrictions, I really don't know what the hell the issue is. If a magi can't figure out a way to get around little things like needing another deck or forcing a person to give you a good number to work with, perhaps they should re-examine their proficiency in magic. I come to your site for this reason alone, I do feel that you are one of a few or maybe the ONLY one who gives a shit about magicians releasing quality magic and routines. Thanks!
I APPLAUDED EVERY MINUTE! Brilliant putting the full clip up.I said it before that is the real issue "magician thinking" and luke has it is spades. He does NOT perform for real people...often.
That live performance is all I need to see. Looks practically bomb proof. I don't do pre-orders, but as soon the hype has died down and this is on general release I'll be picking one up. Disappointed in Luke, I met him and spoke to him for a bit at the last Blackpool convention and he came across as a nice guy not sure what the agenda is here, but it's disappointing. Keep up the good work big chief.
I use an invisible deck regularly, the photo deck, a svengali, the travelling cards from Visible, and a few more. Never in my 43 years as a pro has anybody ever asked to examine a deck. This examining thing is just a magician thing.
I think the issue is Craig telling Wilbur he could hand him the deck right now which gives the impression the deck is completely examineible. No biggie, Craig should just delete that bit from the trailer
@@elopers6424 Hi Carlo, in Craigs Visible (the invisible deck project) there is a routine where 3 selected cards vanish from the deck having been placed face up and travel face down into 10 face-up cards that a spectator has had their hand covering. As a side note, I just plasti dip spray the 6 cards used then the rest of the deck are normal. The effect on the audience is really amazing and in my opinion, I would get Visible just for this trick alone.
The Ultimate Marked Deck on Penguin is $40, the WMS Gaff Deck is $40 American... Out of Sight and Trojan Deck by Joshua Jay are both $74... none of these decks can be examined by magicians. The price is right for this kind of thing (and if someone doesn't want to pay this much, they don't have to buy it). Moreover, I may have a limited imagination, but I thought of a number of ways you might do the trick using some standard type gaffed decks and still couldn't reverse engineer how you do it--the price is really for the intellectual property anyway, and you give a thorough, well thought out tutorial. Sounds like this is another Illegitimi non carborundum moment. Laugh all the way to Blackpool and don't let 'em get you down!
It honestly sounds like he did that segment based on things he heard from other people. I dont believe he watched the tutorial. If he did maybe the first 15-20 minutes of it. He really sounds like someone who just decided to accept things people told him about quantum
I have to admit, I wasn't overly fond of the hype. The final video alone was more than enough to sell the product. Unlike a lot of releases coming out recently, I really don't think it needed several teaser trailers and pre-sales. But perhaps I've just developed disdain for them because I know they are normally used to sell substandard crap (Note: I'm not saying the Quantum Deck is substandard crap, I'm talking about the same sales methods used before anybody thinks I'm saying something I'm not). I think the unneeded hype just opened the doors to people wanting an easy attack vector.
Your trailer could have literally just been the Adam Wilber performance and that was it. I didn’t watch the rest of the trailer before buying the deck. I went back after I was hooked from the performance to watch the rest of it. Nothing is as honest as a full, truly uncut performance of the thing you’re selling. And it’s rare to see products come out with full, uncut performances because creators fear magicians with enough knowledge will figure it out and choose not to buy it if they can replicate it. So I commend you for being a straight shooter.
The length and quality of instructional videos being a total of approx. 5 hrs is in itself well worth the price tag. Any specialized deck with a 30 min instructional usually goes for $40. Craig Petty's teaching is always A1 quality; I even purchased Visible where Craig goes into excellent thorough teaching covering everything. Magicians have to start supporting each other instead of providing destructive criticism (unless you go by the name of Eggink and create low quality products and sell them for an outrageous price). It's simple: if magicians think there is something that the product can improve on, then they can reach out to the creator and let them know about it instead of putting the product down. Ffs, it's only $40. I would have paid $60 + P.S. I ordered this a bit late - upon waiting for my order to arrive come spring time, I have thoroughly enjoyed the instructional videos thus far.
This trick is HANDS DOWN the best trick I have seen in last year. Thanks for that. HOWEWER, I have just watched trailer again and I have to say, that there is something about their statement - and it is more psychological than fact based. When you talk about 100 % examinable thing, that you would bet your life to this trick to fool smartest people in the world and about honest trailer above others, than people will try to find any disonest in that - pure psychology..And bet your life for this principle well known to not even smartest people in magic industry? That feels like lost bet and lost life in stakes right after person touch the deck.. They talk about magicians, because they saw them in trailer so this could feel, like it is something else than it is - magicians would understant immediately. And that is probably their problem with trailer - psychology.. Cut, from trailer, sentense about honest trailer and there will be no beef - even if there is no move in trailer out of the range, but you have to do it, so it is not every single time the same as in trailer = without special move and cuting.. Still, salut for this video, you are the MAN! Thanks again..
Ruling true magic out, I think that I have a pretty decent idea how I would make this work (and of course it is easier to back engineer a possible method than coming up with the original idea, which think is brilliant and well thought through). But even if my thinking was the same as Craig‘s - 40 bucks appears to be a steal for the whole project you are getting from Craig.
This video is not only hugely entertaining, it is a SIGNIFICANTLY better trailer for the product than the actual trailer! I have a rough idea of the method, and it’s brilliant. The performances here are brilliant. Awesome trick!
I had meet up with Craig last night and he requested for me to show him a magic trick his response to my magic was “your card handling is fantastic” and he help give me some solid advice and gave me at least 20 minutes of his time and expertise, this guy loves to help and progress magicians! Im a house magician for smoke and mirrors and have seen quantum deck live 3 times over its 100% on point with everything he says it is and did fool the shit out of myself and daniel chard, Craig, Please don’t let there foolish jealous behaviour ruin your week, feel proud and see you soon bud!
I have to wait for the second run. What amazes me is the price. The amount of time we will get in instruction is worth more in my opinion. 10-15 bucks for 20-30 minutes if the trick is great is totally worth it. We are getting an in depth tutorial that goes much much further than the average price for a SINGLE trick. Now.. you are teaching multiple tricks using a deck and a blank deck could cost 2-3 dollars, fine. A gimmick can cost a lot.. it depends on the work put in and I cannot put a price on what I do not know what the gimmick is.. I have ideas, but that's just speculation. Again..I'll say it.. this Quantum deck is a steal for the hit factor amongst friends, family or those of us that do gigs. Good stuff and I wish you continued success with the Quantum deck!!👍🤓👍
Thanks for clearing this up Craig, because I had actually misjudged HOW this worked, so I wasn't going to buy it, because I thought the gimmick was something else (based on a very famous Joshua Jay trick - you know the one!). But just like your reviews for other products, the most powerful tool is showing an actual performance, especially a real-world one. You've really only made the idea more attractive now. Full marks for showing the full performance.
Craig, you’re a bit defensive… you could’ve been a little more specific in answering the examinable question. In the trailer. If you had to do it over again you might answer that question a little differently to avoid this kerfuffle.
Wow... that was intense! I am 67 and over the years I have had dealings with some top chaps (such as talented Nick Einhorn, genius Jerry Sadowitz, lovely Martin MacMillan, superstar Luis de Matos and many others) all of whom spread their knowledge and their love of magic with an open heart, generosity... and above all, honesty. Obviously you are made from the same mould Craig. I love your magic and your passion (for which I thank you) and hope to be following you for many years to come. By the way... give Ryland a pat on the back from me... can't wait to see his next set. Keep smiling, John Hathway.
Quantum Deck fried me on the first few trailers. What a clean, simple, and strong effect! So annoying that you have to deal with this nonsense. Baseless character attacks like that only hurt the community. You could always troll the haters by showing them the elite ungimmicked version: ... ... ... ... THE GLIDE
The thing is that people are mad that he says it can be examined--it CAN be examined, whether or not someone notices anything funky with the cards is another story. You can examine anything ever made. But it depends on what you are hiding as to whether something is noticed.
I don't own this so can't comment but guessing this is similar to Beyond Stebbins where the deck is technically gaffed but can be handed out for examination in certain situations. TBH from the trailer I was imagining that there might be some R&S/Svengali or something that allows the trick to work but could still easily be examined. I dont see any problem with this.
@@UncleSkiBum yep, I think even if people can tell what is going on with the deck, the still will have no clue what method is used or how the card was at the placement they named. Well thought out idea by Craig.
@@NumberOne_Suspect indeed I mean I can't even work it out now knowing that the deck is gaffed so if I was able to examine it and noticed the cards were gimmicked (tapered, r&s etc) I still wouldn't know how the trick worked.
Everybody in here know that you are good and fair about everything you speak about , Dont put your energy on small people that only are jelous that you probably have made the best trick in 2022 . Craig dont waste your energy on people that not means anything for you , put your energy for your next trick and maby you will have the top 2 tricks in 2022
hi Craig, i did my pre order week ago, cant wait to have it, but one thing really bother me is why this people say you are not honest, but i dont care and i can make a huge list why you are te numebr one and what are you for magic comunity and for me just let me tell you this simply and direct YOU ARE AWSEOME !!!!!!!!! in every aspect, thanks a lot for that
I pre-ordered The Quantum Deck because the trailer blew me away and because it was Craig Petty’s trick and trailer, so I knew it was honest and that the trick is “fit for purpose.” Craig, I’ve been doing magic for 70 years, and you’ve helped me learn. Thanks. And Ryland is lots of fun and really sharp. His performances are fun and charming, and the relationship between you two is classic. Thanks, and I’ll keep watching. Worley the Wizard.
Enjoyed your rebuttal as much as I enjoyed the DVD that accompanied my Quantum Deck. Couldn't agree more. The deck, as you explain, IS examinable even by magicians. Sure, if someone brings a chemistry set or microscope, perhaps they'd catching something given some time, but in my over 60 years in IBM I've not had a magician bring either of those. The price is extremely reasonable. I believe the price of a trick is dependent upon the quality of the effect, and this trick could easily be worth more. The "two deck requirement" argumen is inane. Craig provides multiple EXTRA effects which can be performed by also using a second deck. Two decks are not required for the basic effect. Regarding the "hype," it appears the two critics have never seen any type of advertising. Their position would put a large segment of private enterprise out of business. And finally, the DVD very clearly explains how ANY number can be named. Maybe the critics should complain tha someone picking 1 or 52 doesn't make for a very good trick.
Let me start by saying this is the best "clapback" response to lies being put out period! Now, I am just as shocked as you Craig, that Luke and Mike would do this! I haven't watched Luke in about 3 years (no particular reason) but back when I did my impression of him was a genuine person that cared about magic. I think I only seen one interview of Mike but he seemed genuine as well. I seriously can't believe they would blatantly lie. I was lucky enough to pre order Quantum from penguin and cannot wait to get my hands on it. You know, nowadays we are lucky to get even one live performance of a product (something I truly enjoy watching) so you providing so many is just phenomenal and should be trend setting!! And what is with "magician fooler" being a thing these days?...I thought magic was to be performed for spectators. So as long as a routine is well structured and can be managed that's what matter most imo. You being as honest and as upfront on a product should be another trend setter. Luke stating the range as a negative is just so dumb...what acaan/caan doesn't have limits? Kudos to you on this release Craig! Ps. I feel you paid your dues on the subject of Red. Anyone still trying to bring that up against you can go jump in a volcano as far as I'm concerned. You shouldn't even address it anymore.
Comment #3: the best way to sell a product is have it demoed for you. I love seeing a dealer demo for a trick at a convention. Trailers are fucking dumb. Packaging is fucking dumb. Magicians NEED start looking at the effect and the impact and forget the method. How many incredible tricks are written in books that have zero trailers or hype? How many tricks used to come with written instructions and no packaging? You want a trailer, go to the movie theatre.
Man the number of times Liam Montier used to fool me when he demmed stuff for me in Kaymar magic shop in Upminster....and when I asked to seek me that trick he'd say it's in this book. Ah the good old days
I don't get it: white cards are going to easily get dirty in repeated performance. So you have to BUY More Quantums, what?, every 3 mos. at least. That's the issue for me.
Well as we know there are a lot of jealous magicians about and Luke as certainly shown is hand, the best thing is he will be performing it when he does is own gigs, great response graig loved your reply, can't wait for my deck to come,
I thought Luke was a decent bloke, but he’s got it wrong here - no idea what his agenda could be though. I haven’t ordered the Q Deck yet, but to me this it what real magic looks like!
After seeing this I cannot wait to receive my Quantum Deck! I had ordered it a few days ago, but now I am happy I did, without even seeing the deck. I did not see the video Of Luke Dancy "reviewing" it before now. I can NEVER again watch another video he puts up online! I have bought a couple of items he gushed about and they were total crap! I have always felt like Craig gives us a totally honest perspective on anything he reviews! He does not deserve what Luke has said! Thank you Craig for your hard work and insightful views on magic good and bad! Can not wait to receive my Quantum Deck! I am sure it is just as the Trailers show it too be! Unlike most trailers coming out these days.
I understand both sides of this. I understand how trailers can look deceptive or be taking wrong way out context. In magic how can we be 100% honest with marketing? By just giving away the secrets and we pay if we like it? I’ll be honest not really into quantum deck (we can’t like them all,) for no reason just not ticking boxes etc. i can appreciate both Craig and Luke’s opinions on this. I’m sure quantum deck will be hit of Blackpool and can’t wait to see Craig’s lecture. May get out bed early for it 😂
Really nice and accurate Rant! I like the idea of selecting a few people and having them pick a number between 1-10...pretty clever...there's so much u can do with that! I mean if you really wanted to sway them, u could always say, i placed the card somewhere in the middle...it's not at the very beginning or the very end of the deck to give u a hint....probably somewhere between the 10th card and the 40th card.
Sound like the critics are being a bit rough on you..Don't let it bother you, just treat it like a mirage, like it's not there. You even make it clear in the text part of the sales ad, that the spectator really can't name "any" number. How much more honest could you be ?
I officiated at my stepdaughters wedding (first time doing that), and did magic afterwards (first time performing at an event for me too). I hadn't practiced my new Quantum deck hardly at all, and didn't plan to perform it, but it was in my bag. I did another trick with some blank cards, and the father of the bride said he'd never seen blank cards before. So I said "Ahh, then I should show you this". I performed Quantum for him and the rest of the table. They loved it, it's a wonderful trick and anybody complaining about 40 dollars for a truly novel combination of some classic magic principles that's super easy to perform even for a novice like me, baffling to audiences, and comes with hours of wonderful training and multiple ideas for how to use the deck... Well they just have "too much free time". I'm very happy that I bought the Quantum Deck and these guys should find something better to do than rag on other people's quality creations.
As for "needing another deck", I think that guy's just insane. Even if you want to do the two deck options shown in the training - which I didn't bother with at the wedding - 1) You can get a normal deck of cards at shops all over for just a few dollars, or order them online. 2) What fucking magician doesn't already have a normal deck of cards on hand, or more likely a bunch of them? It's not like it needs a specialty gimmicked deck, a pair of pliers, and a scuba tank. It just needs a fucking deck of cards. I had at least eight decks with me at the wedding if I'd wanted to lead into the routine with a force or something. Sheesh.
I agree with everything you said Craig. I haven't bought the trick but I already know BS when I hear it coming from other magicians criticizing tricks that are released it on the market. Luke doesn't know what he's talking about. He doesn't perform for actual audiences and to even say that the deck needs to be examinable in order for it to be worth anything is utterly ridiculous because you're not performing for magicians. You're performing for people in the real world. So why have the audacity to make such a claim about something being dishonest. I remember during a live Murphy's Magic q&A event on Instagram, I basically called Luke out on encouraging downloadable material and asked him if downloadable material encourages people to steal and increase the chances of thievery even more. And then he basically asked him response, "does Netflix encourage their customers to steal their products?" He deliberately misinterpreted what I meant to suit his particular narrative that downloadable material is okay. Luke is not a very respectable magician. He may say that he's worked with a bunch of other magicians before but he doesn't actually talk to the magicians who he has a problem with. He just trash talks them in front of everyone else. I can't respect anyone who would do such a thing. If you have a problem then go to Craig directly. Otherwise, shut the hell up because you have no right to criticize somebody's trick or advertisement of their trick when you are not a regular performer yourself like Craig is.
Dude this was awesome! I had already pre-ordered my Quantum deck and I loved this video highlighting the "worst" parts of the trick because you've clearly showed its actually not an issue. You've got it covered. It's pretty awesome to see a creator vehemently defend their product and come out as the undisputed champion. Well done!
Craig you're the man. I always buy 2-3 of effects that I really like-- I have 3 Extractors, 3 Kennedy Boxes, etc etc-- I will be buying 3 more Quantum Decks!! Already have one on Pe-Order from Penguin-- But will be buying more down the road. Brilliant.
I think the reason Luke Dancy questioned the integrity of The Quantum Deck is the one line you made in the trailer …… you said to Adam Wilber ‘the deck is fully examinable, if you were here you could examine it’ Do you still stand by that statement ? I have the deck, and I think it’s a fantastic piece of magic. However, I bought the trick after seeing the trailer and was persuaded after hearing the above statement. Personally, I think you should have said, ‘Any layman can examine the deck’. And even then there may have been questions asked. Just my opinion. I don’t wish to start an argument but that’s how I see it.
I think it is a sign of the social media times that people are complaining. One of the best selling and well-touted card tricks of all time is Invisible Deck. I don't hear Murphy's complaining about how it can't be examined by magicians. Does Murphy's not sell this trick? Seems like they should want to. And it's not called hype when it's marketing. Edit: I didn't realize Luke left Murphy's.
This is the problem with echo chambers you start to believe your own bs. Whilst I don't always agree with Craig's opinions you can't argue the fact that he kills lay people with this material and at the end of day that's what matters.
I received mine a couple of days ago. The way I look at it, I paid $40 for a magic lecture; I learned a new principle built on an old one. This trick pushes magic forward and I don't mind at all supporting the inventor for his time. A win for all.
Craig, you have every right to have your say. And I fully understand your frustration about what’s been said about the awesome trick quantum deck. I myself will be getting this.However I do have to point out the code of conduct of swearing is totally unacceptable and unprofessional to younger magicians who look up to people like you.
Craig Petty. Never would i thought inwould be carrying a deck with one particular function ever again, but the way you have structured this trick from the ground up, I can't wait to get my hands on this. Congratulations on this. I feel sorry for those who listened to Luke fancy and the other dude. They are missing out on an amazing EDC. All tricks come with their limitations, it's up to performer to make it work for them especially if its something this strong.
Craig just received quantum! To say I’m pumped! Understatement. Only thing being Murphy haven’t got the link on site yet. You don’t have any links do you? So excited!!! Gotta love propdog delivery
Craig - you asked why would you want to perform Quantum for magicians? Magicians perform magic for other magicians all the time. What do you think magicians do at magic club meetings? Play soccer? Knit? Cook?
Wow if that's not a rant then I can have one of mine in my house and get away with it cause I can just show her yours. I am learning (just starting out) you get to know who is talking bullshit and who is or I feel is objective and honest. You are my favourite followed by magic orthodoxy and wizard magic review. I can honestly say I have only ever bought off what you mainly and the other two have recommended. To be honest I wouldn't have even given them any air time. Just keep doing what you do Craig cause for me being a newbie I love it, and trust it. Only thing would you try and review tricks that you think pack a punch for us newbies. To help with confidence. Keep it up cause you will always have haters and bullshiters as u know in life in general. P.s I bought the quantum deck.
Oh yeah, one more thing... THE number 1 routine of 2022 will be when you (Craig) encounter those 2 IN PERSON!! Now THAT is something I would double down for tickets to!!
Craig, let me start by saying that I think the world of you! Since you did the free zoom lecture for us at our St. Louis IBM Ring 1 meeting for free, I have bought everything you have released. This is my way of paying back magicians that support our club. It was a fantastic lecture and I am sorry you had to be up so late. I have not got the Quantum Deck yet, but I will when it is available again. Now, with this video, you say a few things that you think that Luke is assuming, but did not actually say. I don't care what the trailer says, if it looks cool I am in. By the way, I love to fool magicians. This is why we meet every week. We are always trying to fool each other. Then we help each other with whatever we are working on. This is why magic groups and clubs are so great! I didn't like that Luke used the word liar, but I did see in the trailer that the deck is fully examinable. You did go on way too long on this subject. This video should have taken 5 minutes at the most and you should have moved on. It is obvious that you let it bother you. Deleting Luke's interview is silly too. You should have shown you are the bigger man and moved on. I thought the rants were over. PS don't get me wrong, I do love to see you rant. I know, this is an oxymoron. Have a great day Craig and I think you are one of the greats!
Hi Craig, I have a Quantum Deck on order at the moment and can't wait for it to arrive. I have been doing magic for friends and family for about 50 years! Yes 50 years! And this one fooled me. I love the effect and I admire everything you do, especially as pretty much every time you review a trick, you demo a real-life performance. This is the best part of your reviews because I have never done magic for magicians, I like to fool the arse off my friends and family so I need to know that the effect will work for laymen. Since Magic TV started, I have been a subscriber and love your TOTALLY honest reviews about all sorts of magic and tricks that are out there at the moment. Long may you continue Craig. PS. Can you do something on rubber band magic before I get too old and my fingers stop working!
KILLING it on this video Craig!! LoL! LOVING how you're coming so direct! I may be new to magic but I knew who I was listening to after I bought and learned Visible...! You are out here trying to make the magic community better, you're one of the good guys! Them HATERS can go on being JEALOUS because they don't have the knowledge base or creativity that you contain! I'll just stay with the facts... HOW fast did Quantum sell out with Murphy's? Fastest...Ever?? LoL, them HATERS can take a walk!
I purchased one of LD products and returned it. I kept my mouth shut and was able to get a refund. I'm sure I'm might work for others, but I got it for a Christmas gift and it left me doubting all magic products.
I have bought some stuff that just disheartened my love for magic. I'm no one to review, so I keep it to myself, I've just decided to stop buying products. It hurts when I feel like I've been deceived on a product. This product sounds cool. Maybe later I'll give it a try, from what I hear i might not be able to find it, so that's cool for you sir. I'm just rambling off a recent thing I purchased, not related to your product.
Card tricks have not been something that appeals to me being mainly a kids entertainer. To be honest I have only performed three card tricks in my career stand up monte, visions, and a card to pocket routine. But that live footage has given me an itch to get it now. 😀
Seriously Craig, don't lose any sleep over this. Most stand by you on this one. I am familiar with the method, and have no issue at all with anything you said in the trailer. Keep up the great work!
The passion you put into the project, the blunt honesty, and the sheer volume of tutorial you put in...$40 is a no Brainer! I'm getting my hands on one if I can find one !
Total agree with your rebuttal Craig. Luke and Mike must have been smoking some really bad shit I own the Quantum Deck. Teaching is complete and through.
In the end, I think Dancy is wrong.. He might as well have criticized MANY methods used in magic. Something tells me Dancy had questionable motives. As for Petty, I don't like the profanity but admire his honesty. He told the truth in defending his work.
Craig, I've only recently found your channel, but instantly have become hooked, and can't wait for every video you put up. As far as the Quantum deck, it's already on my purchase list for my next payday along with every other trick you have put out. Keep doing what you do!
I'll keep this short by saying that although I didn't see the video you're replying to here, I think you quoted and showed enough of it that I can agree with you on this. Their points generally seem to be invalid or irrelevant, and this rebuttal video was worth posting to counter them.
Craig.....you are a marvelous inventor and performer! Don’t let a couple of boneheads influence your positive contributions. I’m at a loss to understand why they made the baseless and WRONG comments regarding Quantum. You have come up with a marvelous deck that I’m going to use. Their assertion that the trailer is deceptive is 100% patently false. When one looks at all the crap magic being peddled by the various magic suppliers and dealers you would think they would have plenty of other products to comment on. I guess they picked Quantum out of professional jealousy. Quantum is great and the record setting levels you have sold speaks for itself. Baffling effect, quality product, great inventor and accurate trailer. Thank you for everything that you do.
What a break down! You completely shut them both down. I received my Quantum Deck 2 days ago and I’m so excited to break into it but that’s besides the point. This trick is strong and it inherently hides NOTHING from the get go…..and you have these 2 bloofs that are shutting your brilliant card trick down as if it’s some trick that misleads you COMPLETELY as if it were a SansMinds trick. lol….This trick was “hyped” because it’s incredibly strong and convincing, simple as that. Craig you’re clearly very upset, and hurt, that these 2 gentlemen have inappropriately picked apart an amazing creation, and outright called you a liar, and it would absolutely irritate me just the same after putting so much work into the creation of something so special. I’m sorry you even had to bother filming this response to defend yourself and your masterful creation. Guarantee this will get high ratings from Wayne Fox, David Penn and Sean Hayden.
One more thing these guys should give you a very public apology . In life its about what you do that matters not what other people do they have to live with what theyve said you dont. Life will sort it out
PS: my wife and I really miss your rants. We understand the reason you stopped, however every now and then a new rant would be appreciated! Dr. And Mrs. G
I thought of skipping the quantum deck but after seeing this video and the live performances I decided today that I'm going to get it 🔥❤️... Those 3 performances really sold me... Waiting for the 2nd batch
You are too good a man taking the time to justify this Craig. Even if you created a cure for cancer you would get hate. Keep doing what you are doing and don't let these gremlins put you off. Peace mate
Looollll can you imagine Luke’s face watching this? Good lord, Craig went OFF!
@@baltazarrecord3687 lol still crying luke? We know this is you. You got flamed kiddo.
@@baltazarrecord3687 Craig already addresses that claim of thievery in one of his videos on this channel. If you knew anything about that brother you would have watched the video.
Craig one thing I take from this video is the pure passion you put into this product. I honestly cannot believe the $40 price tag was being questioned with a 5 hour tutorial. That’s just wrong and shouldn’t have been said. Great video Craig. Loved the live performances thanks for gifting these to us fans!
The fact that I need to nag you constantly to send me an invoice so I can pay you should tell everyone how money is certainly not your motivation. It’s the love of sharing magic. And as one of the people in your trailer i would love to say ‘Craig Petty didn’t fool me’ but that would be a lie. I was fooled badly!
Well said sir. Now can you please get some more stock please so I can get this in my hands. ☺️
@@UncleSkiBum exactly
@@UncleSkiBum total truth in advertising.
@@baltazarrecord3687 Alrighty then troll. Take your bully tactics elsewhere. Cuz if you actually cared about the truth you would be listening to all sides not just one that favors your opinions and biases.
@@baltazarrecord3687 The 5 hours of video instructions give you multiple options for how to perform the trick if they name a number less than 11 or more than 31, and the moves involved are not hard. The performance videos also show him performing the trick for a couple of women at a bar who named 47, and they were totally fooled and amazed and delighted. Get a clue.
I've been doing close up magic for over 50 years. I couldn't give a blue fuck what magicians think about a certain trick! It's for me to perform, I'll make that judgement for myself. Thank you, Craig, for addressing this bullshit by Dancy and whoever the other guy is. I ordered the Quantum Deck from Penguin shortly after you released it. Even not having the deck yet, and becoming aware of a couple of restrictions, I really don't know what the hell the issue is. If a magi can't figure out a way to get around little things like needing another deck or forcing a person to give you a good number to work with, perhaps they should re-examine their proficiency in magic. I come to your site for this reason alone, I do feel that you are one of a few or maybe the ONLY one who gives a shit about magicians releasing quality magic and routines. Thanks!
I APPLAUDED EVERY MINUTE! Brilliant putting the full clip up.I said it before that is the real issue "magician thinking" and luke has it is spades. He does NOT perform for real people...often.
“Even I know not to get on Craig Petty’s bad side, Luke”
-Chuck Norris
That live performance is all I need to see. Looks practically bomb proof. I don't do pre-orders, but as soon the hype has died down and this is on general release I'll be picking one up. Disappointed in Luke, I met him and spoke to him for a bit at the last Blackpool convention and he came across as a nice guy not sure what the agenda is here, but it's disappointing. Keep up the good work big chief.
Completely agree. And anyone that puts an hour of performance footage into a product is doing good by magic.
You met him and spoke t him? That means you're "buddies," right? 😆
I agree. That is an amazing trick.
R.I.P. Luke Dancy and Mike Hankins^^
I mean if people are complaining I’d be happy to buy it off them 🤷♂️😂
I use an invisible deck regularly, the photo deck, a svengali, the travelling cards from Visible, and a few more. Never in my 43 years as a pro has anybody ever asked to examine a deck. This examining thing is just a magician thing.
I think the issue is Craig telling Wilbur he could hand him the deck right now which gives the impression the deck is completely examineible. No biggie, Craig should just delete that bit from the trailer
Hello! Do u mind expounding on what the travelling cards are? I'm confused since that's the Invisible deck project right?
@@elopers6424 Hi Carlo, in Craigs Visible (the invisible deck project) there is a routine where 3 selected cards vanish from the deck having been placed face up and travel face down into 10 face-up cards that a spectator has had their hand covering. As a side note, I just plasti dip spray the 6 cards used then the rest of the deck are normal. The effect on the audience is really amazing and in my opinion, I would get Visible just for this trick alone.
@@funjuror thanks for the wonderful tip! I think Craig showed this in the CARDS ACROSS video he made!
@@elopers6424 Yes, it is cards across; I also do travellers, got them mixed them up.
The Ultimate Marked Deck on Penguin is $40, the WMS Gaff Deck is $40 American... Out of Sight and Trojan Deck by Joshua Jay are both $74... none of these decks can be examined by magicians. The price is right for this kind of thing (and if someone doesn't want to pay this much, they don't have to buy it). Moreover, I may have a limited imagination, but I thought of a number of ways you might do the trick using some standard type gaffed decks and still couldn't reverse engineer how you do it--the price is really for the intellectual property anyway, and you give a thorough, well thought out tutorial.
Sounds like this is another Illegitimi non carborundum moment. Laugh all the way to Blackpool and don't let 'em get you down!
It honestly sounds like he did that segment based on things he heard from other people. I dont believe he watched the tutorial. If he did maybe the first 15-20 minutes of it. He really sounds like someone who just decided to accept things people told him about quantum
I have to admit, I wasn't overly fond of the hype. The final video alone was more than enough to sell the product. Unlike a lot of releases coming out recently, I really don't think it needed several teaser trailers and pre-sales. But perhaps I've just developed disdain for them because I know they are normally used to sell substandard crap (Note: I'm not saying the Quantum Deck is substandard crap, I'm talking about the same sales methods used before anybody thinks I'm saying something I'm not). I think the unneeded hype just opened the doors to people wanting an easy attack vector.
Your trailer could have literally just been the Adam Wilber performance and that was it. I didn’t watch the rest of the trailer before buying the deck. I went back after I was hooked from the performance to watch the rest of it.
Nothing is as honest as a full, truly uncut performance of the thing you’re selling. And it’s rare to see products come out with full, uncut performances because creators fear magicians with enough knowledge will figure it out and choose not to buy it if they can replicate it. So I commend you for being a straight shooter.
It’s real magic that Murphys finally put out a good trick.
Amen
The length and quality of instructional videos being a total of approx. 5 hrs is in itself well worth the price tag. Any specialized deck with a 30 min instructional usually goes for $40. Craig Petty's teaching is always A1 quality; I even purchased Visible where Craig goes into excellent thorough teaching covering everything. Magicians have to start supporting each other instead of providing destructive criticism (unless you go by the name of Eggink and create low quality products and sell them for an outrageous price). It's simple: if magicians think there is something that the product can improve on, then they can reach out to the creator and let them know about it instead of putting the product down. Ffs, it's only $40. I would have paid $60 +
P.S. I ordered this a bit late - upon waiting for my order to arrive come spring time, I have thoroughly enjoyed the instructional videos thus far.
Please let us know if there is a response to this video as i would love to know
This trick is HANDS DOWN the best trick I have seen in last year. Thanks for that. HOWEWER, I have just watched trailer again and I have to say, that there is something about their statement - and it is more psychological than fact based. When you talk about 100 % examinable thing, that you would bet your life to this trick to fool smartest people in the world and about honest trailer above others, than people will try to find any disonest in that - pure psychology..And bet your life for this principle well known to not even smartest people in magic industry? That feels like lost bet and lost life in stakes right after person touch the deck.. They talk about magicians, because they saw them in trailer so this could feel, like it is something else than it is - magicians would understant immediately. And that is probably their problem with trailer - psychology.. Cut, from trailer, sentense about honest trailer and there will be no beef - even if there is no move in trailer out of the range, but you have to do it, so it is not every single time the same as in trailer = without special move and cuting.. Still, salut for this video, you are the MAN! Thanks again..
Ruling true magic out, I think that I have a pretty decent idea how I would make this work (and of course it is easier to back engineer a possible method than coming up with the original idea, which think is brilliant and well thought through). But even if my thinking was the same as Craig‘s - 40 bucks appears to be a steal for the whole project you are getting from Craig.
Can't wait for the quantum deck to arrive. This video makes me even more excited for it 👍
This video is not only hugely entertaining, it is a SIGNIFICANTLY better trailer for the product than the actual trailer! I have a rough idea of the method, and it’s brilliant. The performances here are brilliant. Awesome trick!
I had meet up with Craig last night and he requested for me to show him a magic trick his response to my magic was “your card handling is fantastic” and he help give me some solid advice and gave me at least 20 minutes of his time and expertise, this guy loves to help and progress magicians!
Im a house magician for smoke and mirrors and have seen quantum deck live 3 times over its 100% on point with everything he says it is and did fool the shit out of myself and daniel chard,
Craig, Please don’t let there foolish jealous behaviour ruin your week, feel proud and see you soon bud!
I have to wait for the second run. What amazes me is the price. The amount of time we will get in instruction is worth more in my opinion. 10-15 bucks for 20-30 minutes if the trick is great is totally worth it. We are getting an in depth tutorial that goes much much further than the average price for a SINGLE trick. Now.. you are teaching multiple tricks using a deck and a blank deck could cost 2-3 dollars, fine. A gimmick can cost a lot.. it depends on the work put in and I cannot put a price on what I do not know what the gimmick is.. I have ideas, but that's just speculation. Again..I'll say it.. this Quantum deck is a steal for the hit factor amongst friends, family or those of us that do gigs. Good stuff and I wish you continued success with the Quantum deck!!👍🤓👍
Thanks for clearing this up Craig, because I had actually misjudged HOW this worked, so I wasn't going to buy it, because I thought the gimmick was something else (based on a very famous Joshua Jay trick - you know the one!). But just like your reviews for other products, the most powerful tool is showing an actual performance, especially a real-world one. You've really only made the idea more attractive now. Full marks for showing the full performance.
Craig, you’re a bit defensive… you could’ve been a little more specific in answering the examinable question. In the trailer. If you had to do it over again you might answer that question a little differently to avoid this kerfuffle.
Wow... that was intense! I am 67 and over the years I have had dealings with some top chaps (such as talented Nick Einhorn, genius Jerry Sadowitz, lovely Martin MacMillan, superstar Luis de Matos and many others) all of whom spread their knowledge and their love of magic with an open heart, generosity... and above all, honesty. Obviously you are made from the same mould Craig. I love your magic and your passion (for which I thank you) and hope to be following you for many years to come. By the way... give Ryland a pat on the back from me... can't wait to see his next set. Keep smiling, John Hathway.
Quantum Deck fried me on the first few trailers. What a clean, simple, and strong effect!
So annoying that you have to deal with this nonsense. Baseless character attacks like that only hurt the community.
You could always troll the haters by showing them the elite ungimmicked version:

THE GLIDE
The thing is that people are mad that he says it can be examined--it CAN be examined, whether or not someone notices anything funky with the cards is another story. You can examine anything ever made. But it depends on what you are hiding as to whether something is noticed.
I don't own this so can't comment but guessing this is similar to Beyond Stebbins where the deck is technically gaffed but can be handed out for examination in certain situations.
TBH from the trailer I was imagining that there might be some R&S/Svengali or something that allows the trick to work but could still easily be examined. I dont see any problem with this.
@@UncleSkiBum yep, I think even if people can tell what is going on with the deck, the still will have no clue what method is used or how the card was at the placement they named. Well thought out idea by Craig.
@@NumberOne_Suspect indeed I mean I can't even work it out now knowing that the deck is gaffed so if I was able to examine it and noticed the cards were gimmicked (tapered, r&s etc) I still wouldn't know how the trick worked.
Everybody in here know that you are good and fair about everything you speak about , Dont put your energy on small people that only are jelous that you probably have made the best trick in 2022 . Craig dont waste your energy on people that not means anything for you , put your energy for your next trick and maby you will have the top 2 tricks in 2022
hi Craig, i did my pre order week ago, cant wait to have it, but one thing really bother me is why this people say you are not honest, but i dont care and i can make a huge list why you are te numebr one and what are you for magic comunity and for me just let me tell you this simply and direct YOU ARE AWSEOME !!!!!!!!! in every aspect, thanks a lot for that
Got me three of those bad boys!!!!
Honestly Luke has always rubbed me the wrong way. This confirms why I have felt this.
I pre-ordered The Quantum Deck because the trailer blew me away and because it was Craig Petty’s trick and trailer, so I knew it was honest and that the trick is “fit for purpose.” Craig, I’ve been doing magic for 70 years, and you’ve helped me learn. Thanks. And Ryland is lots of fun and really sharp. His performances are fun and charming, and the relationship between you two is classic. Thanks, and I’ll keep watching. Worley the Wizard.
Enjoyed your rebuttal as much as I enjoyed the DVD that accompanied my Quantum Deck. Couldn't agree more. The deck, as you explain, IS examinable even by magicians. Sure, if someone brings a chemistry set or microscope, perhaps they'd catching something given some time, but in my over 60 years in IBM I've not had a magician bring either of those. The price is extremely reasonable. I believe the price of a trick is dependent upon the quality of the effect, and this trick could easily be worth more. The "two deck requirement" argumen is inane. Craig provides multiple EXTRA effects which can be performed by also using a second deck. Two decks are not required for the basic effect. Regarding the "hype," it appears the two critics have never seen any type of advertising. Their position would put a large segment of private enterprise out of business. And finally, the DVD very clearly explains how ANY number can be named. Maybe the critics should complain tha someone picking 1 or 52 doesn't make for a very good trick.
Bring back the rants.....sod em Craig....jealousy takes many forms.:)
Let me start by saying this is the best "clapback" response to lies being put out period! Now, I am just as shocked as you Craig, that Luke and Mike would do this! I haven't watched Luke in about 3 years (no particular reason) but back when I did my impression of him was a genuine person that cared about magic. I think I only seen one interview of Mike but he seemed genuine as well. I seriously can't believe they would blatantly lie. I was lucky enough to pre order Quantum from penguin and cannot wait to get my hands on it.
You know, nowadays we are lucky to get even one live performance of a product (something I truly enjoy watching) so you providing so many is just phenomenal and should be trend setting!! And what is with "magician fooler" being a thing these days?...I thought magic was to be performed for spectators. So as long as a routine is well structured and can be managed that's what matter most imo. You being as honest and as upfront on a product should be another trend setter. Luke stating the range as a negative is just so dumb...what acaan/caan doesn't have limits?
Kudos to you on this release Craig!
Ps. I feel you paid your dues on the subject of Red. Anyone still trying to bring that up against you can go jump in a volcano as far as I'm concerned. You shouldn't even address it anymore.
Comment #3: the best way to sell a product is have it demoed for you. I love seeing a dealer demo for a trick at a convention. Trailers are fucking dumb. Packaging is fucking dumb. Magicians NEED start looking at the effect and the impact and forget the method.
How many incredible tricks are written in books that have zero trailers or hype? How many tricks used to come with written instructions and no packaging? You want a trailer, go to the movie theatre.
Man the number of times Liam Montier used to fool me when he demmed stuff for me in Kaymar magic shop in Upminster....and when I asked to seek me that trick he'd say it's in this book. Ah the good old days
They are right though, this is NOT a magician fooler. There aren’t any magicians left who doesn’t own or already know about quantum!
I don't get it: white cards are going to easily get dirty in repeated performance. So you have to BUY More Quantums, what?, every 3 mos. at least.
That's the issue for me.
Well as we know there are a lot of jealous magicians about and Luke as certainly shown is hand, the best thing is he will be performing it when he does is own gigs, great response graig loved your reply, can't wait for my deck to come,
I thought Luke was a decent bloke, but he’s got it wrong here - no idea what his agenda could be though. I haven’t ordered the Q Deck yet, but to me this it what real magic looks like!
After seeing this I cannot wait to receive my Quantum Deck! I had ordered it a few days ago, but now I am happy I did, without even seeing the deck. I did not see the video Of Luke Dancy "reviewing" it before now. I can NEVER again watch another video he puts up online! I have bought a couple of items he gushed about and they were total crap! I have always felt like Craig gives us a totally honest perspective on anything he reviews! He does not deserve what Luke has said! Thank you Craig for your hard work and insightful views on magic good and bad! Can not wait to receive my Quantum Deck! I am sure it is just as the Trailers show it too be! Unlike most trailers coming out these days.
They definitely dissed the wrong person.
I understand both sides of this. I understand how trailers can look deceptive or be taking wrong way out context. In magic how can we be 100% honest with marketing? By just giving away the secrets and we pay if we like it?
I’ll be honest not really into quantum deck (we can’t like them all,) for no reason just not ticking boxes etc. i can appreciate both Craig and Luke’s opinions on this.
I’m sure quantum deck will be hit of Blackpool and can’t wait to see Craig’s lecture. May get out bed early for it 😂
Luke Dancy: Just to promote something ONCE is enough.
The industry known as MARKETING: Hold my beer!
and luke is a Marketer 😂😂😂
You know this was going to happen. Just thought Peter Eggink would be the one to do it not Luke Dancy. Great stuff as always Craig!
Thank you Craig. They owe you an apology. I can't wait to get my Quantum Deck!
I am bummed out that I didn’t have the money for the preorder. I hope there will be more. I will be able to pay for one with my next paycheck.
I gotta say...this video forced me to purchase the Quantum Deck. 👍
Really nice and accurate Rant! I like the idea of selecting a few people and having them pick a number between 1-10...pretty clever...there's so much u can do with that! I mean if you really wanted to sway them, u could always say, i placed the card somewhere in the middle...it's not at the very beginning or the very end of the deck to give u a hint....probably somewhere between the 10th card and the 40th card.
Sound like the critics are being a bit rough on you..Don't let it bother you, just treat it like a mirage, like it's not there. You even make it clear in the text part of the sales ad, that the spectator really can't name "any" number. How much more honest could you be ?
I officiated at my stepdaughters wedding (first time doing that), and did magic afterwards (first time performing at an event for me too). I hadn't practiced my new Quantum deck hardly at all, and didn't plan to perform it, but it was in my bag. I did another trick with some blank cards, and the father of the bride said he'd never seen blank cards before. So I said "Ahh, then I should show you this". I performed Quantum for him and the rest of the table. They loved it, it's a wonderful trick and anybody complaining about 40 dollars for a truly novel combination of some classic magic principles that's super easy to perform even for a novice like me, baffling to audiences, and comes with hours of wonderful training and multiple ideas for how to use the deck... Well they just have "too much free time". I'm very happy that I bought the Quantum Deck and these guys should find something better to do than rag on other people's quality creations.
As for "needing another deck", I think that guy's just insane. Even if you want to do the two deck options shown in the training - which I didn't bother with at the wedding - 1) You can get a normal deck of cards at shops all over for just a few dollars, or order them online. 2) What fucking magician doesn't already have a normal deck of cards on hand, or more likely a bunch of them? It's not like it needs a specialty gimmicked deck, a pair of pliers, and a scuba tank. It just needs a fucking deck of cards. I had at least eight decks with me at the wedding if I'd wanted to lead into the routine with a force or something. Sheesh.
I agree with everything you said Craig. I haven't bought the trick but I already know BS when I hear it coming from other magicians criticizing tricks that are released it on the market. Luke doesn't know what he's talking about. He doesn't perform for actual audiences and to even say that the deck needs to be examinable in order for it to be worth anything is utterly ridiculous because you're not performing for magicians. You're performing for people in the real world. So why have the audacity to make such a claim about something being dishonest.
I remember during a live Murphy's Magic q&A event on Instagram, I basically called Luke out on encouraging downloadable material and asked him if downloadable material encourages people to steal and increase the chances of thievery even more. And then he basically asked him response, "does Netflix encourage their customers to steal their products?" He deliberately misinterpreted what I meant to suit his particular narrative that downloadable material is okay. Luke is not a very respectable magician. He may say that he's worked with a bunch of other magicians before but he doesn't actually talk to the magicians who he has a problem with. He just trash talks them in front of everyone else. I can't respect anyone who would do such a thing. If you have a problem then go to Craig directly. Otherwise, shut the hell up because you have no right to criticize somebody's trick or advertisement of their trick when you are not a regular performer yourself like Craig is.
Dude this was awesome! I had already pre-ordered my Quantum deck and I loved this video highlighting the "worst" parts of the trick because you've clearly showed its actually not an issue. You've got it covered. It's pretty awesome to see a creator vehemently defend their product and come out as the undisputed champion. Well done!
How many real world performances where the deck is examined do people need? The whole "examined" things is running when youre not been chased anyway
Craig you're the man. I always buy 2-3 of effects that I really like-- I have 3 Extractors, 3 Kennedy Boxes, etc etc-- I will be buying 3 more Quantum Decks!! Already have one on Pe-Order from Penguin-- But will be buying more down the road. Brilliant.
Quantum Deck is going to be trick of the year. It's frickin' genius.
Ignore the dickheads, Craig. You'll just end up giving them free publicity.
Craig Petty is the guy we need in the magic community. A true hero.
I have been lucky to have watched the tutorial, Luke your wrong, Craig is right....nuff said.
Got mine. How do we find the extra filming that you are off to do today?
I think the reason Luke Dancy questioned the integrity of The Quantum Deck is the one line you made in the trailer …… you said to Adam Wilber ‘the deck is fully examinable, if you were here you could examine it’
Do you still stand by that statement ?
I have the deck, and I think it’s a fantastic piece of magic. However, I bought the trick after seeing the trailer and was persuaded after hearing the above statement.
Personally, I think you should have said, ‘Any layman can examine the deck’.
And even then there may have been questions asked.
Just my opinion.
I don’t wish to start an argument but that’s how I see it.
Totally well said. I have mine and have no problem handing it to any spectator.
Did Mr. Dancy ever apologize?
I think it is a sign of the social media times that people are complaining. One of the best selling and well-touted card tricks of all time is Invisible Deck. I don't hear Murphy's complaining about how it can't be examined by magicians. Does Murphy's not sell this trick? Seems like they should want to. And it's not called hype when it's marketing. Edit: I didn't realize Luke left Murphy's.
Murphy's produced Quantum, Luke left Murphy's a while ago.
Makes you wonder why. I mean you don't just turn around and badmouth a product your former employer sells, unless things didn't end well.
This is the problem with echo chambers you start to believe your own bs. Whilst I don't always agree with Craig's opinions you can't argue the fact that he kills lay people with this material and at the end of day that's what matters.
I received mine a couple of days ago. The way I look at it, I paid $40 for a magic lecture; I learned a new principle built on an old one. This trick pushes magic forward and I don't mind at all supporting the inventor for his time. A win for all.
Craig, you have every right to have your say. And I fully understand your frustration about what’s been said about the awesome trick quantum deck. I myself will be getting this.However I do have to point out the code of conduct of swearing is totally unacceptable and unprofessional to younger magicians who look up to people like you.
I could give two shites whether or not it could be be examined by a magician. You rock Craig.
Craig Petty. Never would i thought inwould be carrying a deck with one particular function ever again, but the way you have structured this trick from the ground up, I can't wait to get my hands on this. Congratulations on this. I feel sorry for those who listened to Luke fancy and the other dude. They are missing out on an amazing EDC. All tricks come with their limitations, it's up to performer to make it work for them especially if its something this strong.
Craig just received quantum! To say I’m pumped! Understatement. Only thing being Murphy haven’t got the link on site yet.
You don’t have any links do you? So excited!!!
Gotta love propdog delivery
Craig - you asked why would you want to perform Quantum for magicians? Magicians perform magic for other magicians all the time. What do you think magicians do at magic club meetings? Play soccer? Knit? Cook?
Really good to see those 3 live performances. They removed any doubts I had about buying this.
I've just seen my posts removed because I said a few things critical about ACAAN. that's crazy. Things have gotten out of hand.
Wow if that's not a rant then I can have one of mine in my house and get away with it cause I can just show her yours. I am learning (just starting out) you get to know who is talking bullshit and who is or I feel is objective and honest. You are my favourite followed by magic orthodoxy and wizard magic review. I can honestly say I have only ever bought off what you mainly and the other two have recommended. To be honest I wouldn't have even given them any air time. Just keep doing what you do Craig cause for me being a newbie I love it, and trust it. Only thing would you try and review tricks that you think pack a punch for us newbies. To help with confidence. Keep it up cause you will always have haters and bullshiters as u know in life in general. P.s I bought the quantum deck.
I've never seen a mic drop so magically until this video. This is great, Craig!
Oh yeah, one more thing... THE number 1 routine of 2022 will be when you (Craig) encounter those 2 IN PERSON!! Now THAT is something I would double down for tickets to!!
Yet another example of how awful some people can be in the magic community.
Great video Craig 👍
Snowflake Karen’s
Craig, let me start by saying that I think the world of you! Since you did the free zoom lecture for us at our St. Louis IBM Ring 1 meeting for free, I have bought everything you have released. This is my way of paying back magicians that support our club. It was a fantastic lecture and I am sorry you had to be up so late. I have not got the Quantum Deck yet, but I will when it is available again.
Now, with this video, you say a few things that you think that Luke is assuming, but did not actually say. I don't care what the trailer says, if it looks cool I am in. By the way, I love to fool magicians. This is why we meet every week. We are always trying to fool each other. Then we help each other with whatever we are working on. This is why magic groups and clubs are so great! I didn't like that Luke used the word liar, but I did see in the trailer that the deck is fully examinable. You did go on way too long on this subject. This video should have taken 5 minutes at the most and you should have moved on. It is obvious that you let it bother you. Deleting Luke's interview is silly too. You should have shown you are the bigger man and moved on. I thought the rants were over.
PS don't get me wrong, I do love to see you rant. I know, this is an oxymoron. Have a great day Craig and I think you are one of the greats!
Hi Craig, I have a Quantum Deck on order at the moment and can't wait for it to arrive. I have been doing magic for friends and family for about 50 years! Yes 50 years! And this one fooled me. I love the effect and I admire everything you do, especially as pretty much every time you review a trick, you demo a real-life performance. This is the best part of your reviews because I have never done magic for magicians, I like to fool the arse off my friends and family so I need to know that the effect will work for laymen. Since Magic TV started, I have been a subscriber and love your TOTALLY honest reviews about all sorts of magic and tricks that are out there at the moment. Long may you continue Craig. PS. Can you do something on rubber band magic before I get too old and my fingers stop working!
Here is all you need to know about the "examinability" of the deck. ua-cam.com/video/jb6i6ACA240/v-deo.html
KILLING it on this video Craig!! LoL! LOVING how you're coming so direct! I may be new to magic but I knew who I was listening to after I bought and learned Visible...! You are out here trying to make the magic community better, you're one of the good guys! Them HATERS can go on being JEALOUS because they don't have the knowledge base or creativity that you contain! I'll just stay with the facts... HOW fast did Quantum sell out with Murphy's? Fastest...Ever?? LoL, them HATERS can take a walk!
I purchased one of LD products and returned it. I kept my mouth shut and was able to get a refund. I'm sure I'm might work for others, but I got it for a Christmas gift and it left me doubting all magic products.
I have bought some stuff that just disheartened my love for magic. I'm no one to review, so I keep it to myself, I've just decided to stop buying products. It hurts when I feel like I've been deceived on a product. This product sounds cool. Maybe later I'll give it a try, from what I hear i might not be able to find it, so that's cool for you sir. I'm just rambling off a recent thing I purchased, not related to your product.
Card tricks have not been something that appeals to me being mainly a kids entertainer. To be honest I have only performed three card tricks in my career stand up monte, visions, and a card to pocket routine. But that live footage has given me an itch to get it now. 😀
Seriously Craig, don't lose any sleep over this. Most stand by you on this one. I am familiar with the method, and have no issue at all with anything you said in the trailer. Keep up the great work!
The passion you put into the project, the blunt honesty, and the sheer volume of tutorial you put in...$40 is a no Brainer! I'm getting my hands on one if I can find one !
I don't think that what Luke said was justifiable, it just seemed spiteful. All I can see is a solid product with the worker in mind.
Total agree with your rebuttal Craig. Luke and Mike must have been smoking some really bad shit I own the Quantum Deck.
Teaching is complete and through.
In the end, I think Dancy is wrong.. He might as well have criticized MANY methods used in magic. Something tells me Dancy had questionable motives.
As for Petty, I don't like the profanity but admire his honesty. He told the truth in defending his work.
Screw 'Em! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Craig.
Craig, I've only recently found your channel, but instantly have become hooked, and can't wait for every video you put up. As far as the Quantum deck, it's already on my purchase list for my next payday along with every other trick you have put out. Keep doing what you do!
Ordered the quantum deck after kindness from Austin & Chris. Cannot wait to get it. It's my first ever trick, I've just started learning magic at 36.
I'll keep this short by saying that although I didn't see the video you're replying to here, I think you quoted and showed enough of it that I can agree with you on this. Their points generally seem to be invalid or irrelevant, and this rebuttal video was worth posting to counter them.
WELL SAID CRAIG!!! I appreciate you!
Craig.....you are a marvelous inventor and performer! Don’t let a couple of boneheads influence your positive contributions. I’m at a loss to understand why they made the baseless and WRONG comments regarding Quantum. You have come up with a marvelous deck that I’m going to use. Their assertion that the trailer is deceptive is 100% patently false. When one looks at all the crap magic being peddled by the various magic suppliers and dealers you would think they would have plenty of other products to comment on. I guess they picked Quantum out of professional jealousy. Quantum is great and the record setting levels you have sold speaks for itself. Baffling effect, quality product, great inventor and accurate trailer. Thank you for everything that you do.
Hi Craig, For the record. I've ordered Quantum. I'm looking forward receiving my order. -keith
This effect is pure art. 🔥 I need to get myself the Quantum deck. Great performances. 👏
What a break down! You completely shut them both down. I received my Quantum Deck 2 days ago and I’m so excited to break into it but that’s besides the point. This trick is strong and it inherently hides NOTHING from the get go…..and you have these 2 bloofs that are shutting your brilliant card trick down as if it’s some trick that misleads you COMPLETELY as if it were a SansMinds trick. lol….This trick was “hyped” because it’s incredibly strong and convincing, simple as that. Craig you’re clearly very upset, and hurt, that these 2 gentlemen have inappropriately picked apart an amazing creation, and outright called you a liar, and it would absolutely irritate me just the same after putting so much work into the creation of something so special. I’m sorry you even had to bother filming this response to defend yourself and your masterful creation. Guarantee this will get high ratings from Wayne Fox, David Penn and Sean Hayden.
One more thing these guys should give you a very public apology . In life its about what you do that matters not what other people do they have to live with what theyve said you dont. Life will sort it out
PS: my wife and I really miss your rants. We understand the reason you stopped, however every now and then a new rant would be appreciated! Dr. And Mrs. G
I thought of skipping the quantum deck but after seeing this video and the live performances I decided today that I'm going to get it 🔥❤️...
Those 3 performances really sold me...
Waiting for the 2nd batch
You are too good a man taking the time to justify this Craig. Even if you created a cure for cancer you would get hate. Keep doing what you are doing and don't let these gremlins put you off. Peace mate
