    Craig you have the ability in your interviewing to get people to open up and talk for long periods of time about their life about their loves it's incredible and this is a skill that comes from you, unlike most interviewers who are constantly interrupting and talking and just trying to be the leader of the show you sit back and you listen that is a skill that makes all the difference LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD 🇺🇸 for doing that I appreciate all of your interviews can't wait till the next one

I don’t want to jinx it or anything but the first ever social media series for me has recently finished filming for me. I don’t consider myself to be a creative inventor person or anyone like that that but one potential idea’s to try to get on the shop’s radar anyway in case you guys ever end up feeling that I’ve become advanced enough to be a potential additional performer person for magic shop product video trailers!

    Really enjoyed the interview. I had an identical experience that Peter had early in my career. I was the top salesman in my company with an arrogant Boss that asked me if I still wanted to work at my job. He was about to put me on probation but I walked as his jaw dropped. I love the Extractor as well and use a Gary Jones Card in Balloon with it.
