I think we should do a SNC based around presentation. Inspired off of Derren Brown's Enigma, I think we should have a list of possible basic tricks or plots to select one from, and from that one create our own presentation or spin on it. Just saying...

Or even just one trick, sometime simple that everyone knows or could learn quickly (possibly something with a free tutorial to view) and then give everyone a few hours (or a whole day) to come up with an awesome presentation.
 
I like the create a card idea only I don't think having it being printed by the thousands should be the prize. Maybe just have it so the prize is one or two decks of your design printed. I also like the create or design a shirt relating to magic idea.

I think we should have a contest for best card control or best effect using an object like a phone, credit card, playing card case , rubberbands, straws and etc

somewat interestin

1. how about a video contest showing off how you took a routine or trick from T11 and "made it your own"

IE for example i like the "iskabble sandwich" but i changed a few things in the handling to make it more natural, as well as changed the final production to better suite my style.
I dunno if its been done, but i think what makes the tricks/routines on this site so much better than others is that everyone on here is constantly building, modifying, changing and i think itd be interesting to see how ppl applied dresscode or if someone figured out the better way to do "pressure"

2. now for the mago only audience, the how showcasing your longest routine with the most logical effects?

IE like using Dan and daves " portal" then immediately routining "card to mouth" (anyones version) then chaining that effect to something else.... not neccessarly an uber long ambitious routine, but maybe a few of those, mixed with a transpo and a color change here and there. I think itd be interesting.

Every time i see someone do a trick on the street, or even most of the videos, its always pretty much the same thing straight off a dvd. If magic is an "art" why is everyone doing the same stuufff?

I think you're right about the art thing, but I don't think doing a video with the longest routine is a good idea. I literally could make a routine on the fly that actually has a story behind it that could last for hours granted it might not be the best story in the world. Just think about how long a person could make a routine if they were given the time to do it. Maybe a contest where the routine has to be at least a certain amount of length but could be longer would be better?
