Magic Tricks

If you're into magic and want something that really delivers, Absolute Madness is an absolute gem. I picked this up during the Blackpool Magic Convention, and it’s been by my side ever since, constantly referring to it and fine-tuning the routines from the book. It’s packed with super practical material using cards, coins, sponge balls—even ball bearings (yep, seriously!).

What makes it even cooler is the full-show video that comes with it. You get to watch Craig perform every routine live, which is amazing for picking up not just the moves, but also the timing, presentation, and how he engages with the audience.

But it’s not just about the tricks. Craig also shares solid advice on performing and even touches on the business side of magic. It really feels like getting a peek inside the mind of a working pro.

My favourite part, though? The addition of Ryland’s thoughts at the end of each routine. Sometimes he drops genuinely insightful tips, and other times he just cracks me up.

Whether you’re a hobbyist looking to level up or a working magician searching for proven material, this book is totally worth it. Fun, smart, and super useful. Highly recommend!
