For 85 years the Scottish Conjurers Association has  been at the forefront of a thriving Scottish magic scene. From its beginning in 1924 until today the SCA has strived to encourage and promote magic with high calibre lecturers, at little or no cost to members, competitions and fun nights where magic, amusement and amazement are never far apart. At the SCA we hope to create a scenario in which those interested, whether expert or novice, can enjoy magic in the company of like minded and affable companions.

Craig Petty is one of the most original thinkers in magic today.  His creative mind allows him to take magic props that have been in existence (and in most of our cupboards) for years and come up with fresh, innovative presentations that will have all magicians thinking, “Why didn’t I think of that”

Craig burst onto the magic scene at Blackpool 2 years ago with his attack of the bag DVD.  This was given the award, “Best value for money trick at Blackpool”

Since then Craig has produced several other DVDs on cards, coins and other magic items all receiving great reviews.

Last year (2008) Craig took his products on tour around some of the magic clubs in the UK and was receiving such high success that he was booked for The Magic Circle.  His lecture was voted, Lecture of the decade and has subsequently been booked for lectures in America and throughout Europe.
