Hi Craig, my wife is a hobby seamstress. Two questions: 1) Do you know of any ressources for sewing patterns for magical props? 2) Do you think there is a market for custom made egg bags or the like?
Hi Craig! Thanks for answering my questions a couple weeks ago about comedy and magic. I know you said your experience was limited but I appreciate your honest and thoughtful opinions on the matter. You've certainly given me a lot to think about. Something else I've struggled with as a performer but more specifically with magic is imposter syndrome. I'm sure I've heard you talk about it before but can you shed some light on how you would cope with it? My bread and butter is entertaining lay audiences, but anytime I am around other magicians I suddenly feel quite insecure. I think partially it may be because there are so many close up magicians and I primarily perform on stage in non magic venues. If you can't tell I tend to care to much about what my peers think of me. Any advice or tips to trick my brain into believing in myself would be greatly appreciated. Thanks as always!
Craig. You are a legend and this channel is the gift that keeps on giving. Here’s today’s question. What do you think of Rattle Dice? I’ve put my pre-order in on penguin.
Hi Craig, hope you have had an amazing week! Two questions for you. What would you say are five relatively easy yet underrated tricks in magic that are absolutely killer? Secondly, how difficult would you say it is to perform Leviosa? I have experience with Loops, but Leviosa seems a but intimidating to get into. The final moment however looks incredible and I can only imagine the reactions it can get.
Hi craig, thans for what you do for the magic community, i literally watch every video you upload and I am very grateful that you exist. I live in a country where profesional magicians are not poppular at all, and the ones that are out there mostly do stage magic. You could count the close-up gigging magicians on the fingers of your hand. On one side this is good because there is close to no competition, but on the other the vast majoirity of people are not aware that you can book a close-up magician for your event. My question is: How do you make people book you if they have never encountered a magician before? Also a lot of the magicians in the country do kids shows, so most people associate magic with something for children.
In my experience, sometimes when your "caught" its just them yelling out a theory/guess (usually a kid). Depending on the routine I might just go on to the next part as its about to hit really hard or Ill be a little sarcastic and say "oh yea thats how it works", then do the same thing with a different method. Challenging them does come with some risk. Another thing you can do is keep a sealed envelope in ur pocket that says "for the guy who caught me" with a sure fire prediction.
Try the hot shot cut but : the alex pandrea version ! It's my favorite way to do craig !It's not a move that i do anymore tho but ! I was able to do it with his version !
Hi Craig I have been watching a lot of your videos I am a hobbyist and I just picked up the extractor and strugle getting the card out of it is there any tips thanks Terry
Hi Craig, any tips on the one handed top palm. I’m struggling with my thumb positioning, it always bends and gets in the way. I’m wondering should it be straight. Thanks.
Hi Craig, regarding keymaster and the holes, have you ever thought about extending it to the tokens that people use for trolley's that also have a hole in (that approximate a £1 coin)... if you like the idea I want a cut of the royalties LOL ;-) Phil Lawson

Hi Craig. Hope you are well. I was wondering if you ever perform fire magic in your shows. If so, would you consider doing a top five fire effects video? Cheers.
Hi Craig. I continue to be inspired every week by the amazing content on Magic TV - keep it up, Magic TV Team. I recently bought Pocket Roulette and in the tutorial, it was started that there is a move which the trick creators can't teach, because the move is not theirs to teach. (Somewhat annoyed me, as I think 'creators' should provide tricks which are 'good to go'. They referenced a book called Vitals by Franco Pascali and Antonio Bourgeois to learn the move, without saying what it's called. As you may recall from my previous question (re crossing the face switch - thanks for the great answer to that), I learn better from watching videos than reading books. So - what I need is a way to convince a spectator that I am holding - and giving to them - five cards when, in truth, I am only giving them four cards. Any thoughts? Many thanks.
Could you provide any good ideas or sources for tricks to perform at a wedding? I'm best man for my friend's wedding in November and want to do something as part of the speech. I've a good working understanding of card magic and beginner at coin magic if that helps with suggestions
When performing close up, most experienced magicians have a set, each set consists of 3,4 or 5 tricks, the magician would perform for each person/group, you start with an quick opening trick, and end with a big closing trick, middlers are tricks you would perform in between them , hence the word middle, but there are reasons why certain tricks would only be good for middlers, I already have mine, I just want his opinion on it, not many magicians speak on it, because they don't want to reveal what tricks they use and perform, so other magicians don't copy them. @@1581davis
Hey Craig I just want to say your such a nice and hardworkig content creator and i hope you know that someone is watching and enjoying the videos that you put out like the videos where you joke around with matt and eating banana when he was performing Koda made me laugh. keep up with your videos. Anyways will you review Boom Deck by wonders maker soon?

Hey Craig I booked you for a wedding in Scotland the only thing is like a said in my last comment I know some stuff I am worried that i will know what's happening do you have this problem with clients and if you do what do you do when your doing something on my and my partner/wife thanks Terry
Do you think Tom stone benson burner would work for bgt because the one handed vanishes and end explosion would look great on tv with music. The only reason I’d bother learning it is for this reason (as it won’t be useful for me anywhere else). Do you think I should learn at as it may work for bgt or should I spend my time thinking of something else that would work better if you think this isn’t the type of thing they would like. Tom stone told me it may work
Doug Henning and Paul Daniels does good versions of chup cup illusion ideas concepts and a lady illusionist magician uses cherries fruit for chup cup ideas concepts its on UA-cam videos when she doing a live video talking to David Copperfield Illusionist magician and copperfield enjoying it then said magnet ps i let her know in comments section I knew about magnet also and she likes My comment
Hey Craig don't worry pal My book mom and dad and sisters and nieces and nephews have arguments but they cool off and everyone talking again to each other its human:) but go to Jesus Christ Lord Savoir God for help and he will guide you and everyone in the right direction
Hi Craig - sorry to hear your recent sad news, hope you’re all doing okay, no matter how long we have them, it’s never long enough! Wondering if you have any advice for me which I think other may struggle with too… it’s magic overload! Specifically wanting and purchasing effect after effect and gimmick after gimmick. I find that I’ve got got a few things on my close up mat waiting for me to give them time and attention but instead I’m still watching trailers and wanting something else. How can I strip it back and just perfect what I’ve got??! Thanks I’m advance 🫶🏻

I have heard the term "floating key card", I can not find a good explanation as to what the principle is. Can you elaborate?

There were several "Mount Rushmore" questions on the Q&A recently. What are your four most versatile magicians who excel in various genres of magic?
Do you know of any Impromptu tricks using a spectators wrist watch ?
Hey Craig! Is there an expansion pack for Keymaster coming up this year as well?
Do you know about the watch winder gimmick, or any magicians that have good routines for it?
Do you use a slate writer for anything
When roughly is the that escalated quickly by harpan ong review coming out
I know your a coin guy, what are your thoughts on the lethal tender coin trick ? Have you ever performed it ?

Craig, I believe that you are going to be adding routines to the Extractor, if so, when can we expect to see said routines? Thanks Richard
Are you still going to make the video on middler tricks for close up ?
What are middler tricks please?
