We will update at the same link when it is released.

We’re thrilled to have Craig Petty help us close out the year in style with an amazing Vanishing Inc. Masterclass taking place throughout December.

Craig Petty is an award-winning performer and creator that has created some of the bestselling magic tricks of the last two decades. He is best known for his creativity and commitment to pushing the art of magic forward, as seen on his wildly popular “Craig Petty’s Magic TV” YouTube channel.

These three jam-packed lectures are a close-up magic worker’s dream. There’s something for everyone from card magic to coin magic and even a touch of mentalism. Everything will be wrapped up with a live zoom Q&A where you can ask Craig anything you’d like (this is always the most popular part of the Masterclass series).

Still on the fence about grabbing Craig Petty’s Masterclass? Here are three reasons you won’t want to miss it:

1. The amount of tricks and insight packed into these sessions make this Masterclass one of the greatest values we’ve ever offered

2. This is brand-new, practical material that pushes the limits of creativity

3. There is something for every skill level and style of performer

This membership will give you the Masterclass, plus immediate access to a huge streaming tutorial library, and free or discounted shipping on every order, for less than the cost of the Masterclass alone.

Craig Petty Masterclass Overview

Session One – December 4, 2022 (4pm ET / NYC Time)

Slow Motion Sandwich

A playing card slowly materializes from back to face.

Small Change

A pack of cards with different denominations on them are shuffled and the spectator is allowed to choose any five. You correctly predict the amount they selected.

Face Off

A partial transposition of a card where just the face travels, but not the back.

Twin Souls Variation

The spectator says stop and their selected card is turned faced up. With a snap of your fingers, the entire matching four of a kind is now face up.

Back Off

A mystery card is placed aside and you perform a small packet (three cards) ambitious card routine that ends with a mystery card kicker.

Split

A double backer is split into two Aces. You then “program” the next double backer to get the two black Aces.

Session Two – December 11, 2022 (4pm ET / NYC Time)

IMPORTANT

This session will focus on the creative potential of using gaff cards and gaff decks. To get the most out of the class, you will want to grab a few items that most magicians likely already own:

• Mirage Deck (x2)

• Svengali Deck

• Svengali Deck with a Spot Card (2 or 4 is ideal)

• Red/Blue Double Backer

• Invisible Deck and Matching Double Backer

• Regular Red Deck and Red/Red Double Backer

• One Red Blank Deck and One Blue Blank Deck

• Roughing Stick

Items Available Here

Cross

Two cards distinctly marked with crosses (“X”s) on the back vanish and then sandwich the selected playing card in the deck.

Celebrity

A chosen card has the name of a celebrity on the back that a spectator was thinking of.

Mentalism vs Prediction

Instantly know which card the spectator has thought of and then show that you predicted it in advance

Lockdown

You read the spectator’s mind and divine the film, color and card they chose.

Invisible Stickman

A stick figure vanishes from one playing card and magically reappears on a thought-of playing card.

Stick Pack

Stick figures start to appear on the backs of a packet of four Aces before all jumping on to one card. Then, the stick figures appear on every card in the deck.

Lotto

Two decks with numbers on the face are shuffled. Deck one is cut into six piles, and the numbers match six chosen cards

Session Three – December 18, 2022 (Time TBD / NYC Time)

Signature Transpo

The name says it all for this stunning effect.

Angle Z x WOW

A corner of a playing card teleports.

WOW Split

A Five of Hearts splits into two selections (a 2H and 3H).

Blank

A multiphase routine, packed full of magic, that ends with the whole deck turning blank!

BCM (Business Card Matrix

Ink moves from corner to corner before a surprising ending where coins appear.

Empowerment

Four coins across that the spectator does in their hands

Triple C Wild Coin

Three coins are produced, travel from hand to hand, and then change into Chinese coins.

Ballz

Metal balls jump back and forth from the pocket to the hands and, as they do, they also grow in size.

Session Four – Time/Date TBD

Live Zoom Q&A where you can ask Craig anything you’d like.
