We study supersymmetric gauge theories with 8 supercharges in d=3,4,5,6. For these theories, one can perform Higgsings by turning on VEVs of scalar fields. However, this process can often be difficult when dealing with superconformal field theories (SCFTs) where the Lagrangian is often not known. Using techniques of magnetic quivers and a new algorithm we call "Inverted Quiver Subtraction", we show how one can easily obtain the SCFT(s) after Higgsing. This technique can be equally well applied to SCFTs in d=3,4,5,6.
