“An incredible book of absolutely brilliant magic from a real world worker” – John Morton

“In this book you will find routines that are straight from Craig’s professional repertoire. Cards, coins, mentalism and much more in a truly wonderful book! Well done again Craig Petty! This should be in every magicians library!”
– Luca Volpe

“When I first saw Craig’s book, I was blown away by its look and design—modern, cool, and packed with routines and photos. When I got into the content, I not only loved the effects but also the additional material on getting the most out of your tricks and marketing, which means this is an educational treasure trove that everyone will learn from. Craig’s “Absolute Madness” is brilliant, and I guarantee you’ll love reading it, learning the secrets inside, and performing the routines.”
– Wayne Goodman

“Craig has long been known for creating practical, foolproof magic, and Absolute Madness contains some of his best work on coins, cards, sponge balls, and even magic with ball bearings! Essays that will make you a better magician and effects you’ll actually perform. The bottom line is you need this in your collection!”
– Rich Relish

“Craig has released a ton of material over the last few years, all of which has been specially made gimmicks and props (nothing wrong with that), but he also creates magic that can’t be released in that way—magic that he performs at his gigs and does for people on a daily basis. He has put some of this material into a book, and it is chock-full of workable routines as well as advice, essays, and thoughts from him. This is an absolutely superb book; you will definitely get something from it that you’ll perform right away, and then, I suspect, you’ll keep coming back to it again and again!”
– Chris Congreave

“The absolute madness is that THIS MUCH INCREDIBLE magic can be in ONE book. This is real magic for real-world performers”
– Mark Mason

“It’s a pleasure to read a book by someone who is actually out there, in the trenches, performing magic for real people, and that experience shines through on the pages of the book. While Absolute Madness includes some fantastic routines within its pages, I think the real gold can be found in the many essays—I can’t wait to dive deeper into its pages; I can’t put it down.”
– Alan Rorrison

“Don’t read this book—we must keep it a secret. Craig Petty’s Absolute Madness is TOO GOOD for the world! I want to tell people not to read it so that the book remains a secret—it is that good!!! This book is worth it just for the intro and the essay on making tricks your own—so good! Craig is a true rarity in our industry. Honest, clever, a hard worker, creative, and kind. He loves magic so much that he literally goes above and beyond to share everything he knows to help others become better at the thing he loves—including this book. Get it, devour it, and learn from THE best creator in the business. PETTY FOR PRESIDENT”
– Nikola Arkane

“This isn’t just a book on magic it’s 30 years worth of passion, Golden advice, Tips, Work ethics, How to structure your effects, presentations and perform amazing magic. it would be absolute madness not to pick it up.”
– Tom Wright

“This book is a goldmine for any serious performer. Every effect inside is strong enough to be a standalone release—powerful, practical, and perfect for real-world audiences. But what truly sets it apart is the included video performances. These allow you to dive deep into the rhythm, timing, and subtle nuances that can sometimes get lost on the page.”
– Peter Nardi
