Magic Button by Craig Petty - Trick

They press a button.
Magic happens.

The Magic Button by Craig Petty delivers a playful premise with a jaw-dropping finish—and leaves your audience holding the proof.

From the very beginning, a card with a large red magic button sits in full view on the table. A card is freely selected, signed, and lost in the deck. You explain that all magic works the same way… you just press the button.

They press it.

Their signed card instantly appears on top of the deck.
They press it again—and it happens again.

For the finale, the card is lost, the deck is shuffled, and the button is pressed one last time. The card doesn’t appear.

Then the button card is turned over.

Their signed card is fused to the back—an impossible object they can examine and take home.

It’s visual. It’s funny. And the reactions are huge.

The Magic Button is a complete system. You receive the specially gimmicked Magic Button cards, a fully gaffed deck ready to perform out of the box, and an in-depth tutorial over three hours long. Craig teaches the core routine plus dozens of additional ideas—sandwich effects, button vanishes, multiplying buttons, wild card presentations, even a killer Monte. Along the way, you’ll also pick up a wealth of practical sleight of hand.

Beginners can jump in immediately.
Working pros will recognize this as battle-tested, commercial material that kills for real audiences.

Simple premise. Massive payoff.
Let them press the button—and enjoy the screams when you perform The Magic Button.
