TKinter Get name of button from within button

I am developing an app with tkinter and I have the following code:

tricks = ['Always Three', 'bhu']

        def trickInstructions(selectedTrick):
            print(selectedTrick)

        def menu():
            for trick in tricks:
                Button(root, text = trick, pady=1, command = lambda: trickInstructions(self.name)).pack(side=BOTTOM)

I would like to send the name of the button to the trickInstructions() function everytime the button is clicked.

Is this possible and how?

You can pass the text using lambda via default value of argument:

command=lambda name=trick: trickInstructions(name)
