Saturday Night Contest - Filtering Out Exposure

[WyattSB]

Wyatt Video 2: “You have to count on the fact that your spectators can’t count.” That’s funny because I actually have a trick that DOES work that way. Not a good trick. But I have it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iChiEjH0XJc

Haha, thats quite surprising, you say it isn't good, but I could see it working. Have you used it live?

Congratulations Ben! Awesome prize this week.

Nope. Haven't ever tried that one live. Too many people figure it out. It's a good idea...there's something there...it just needs improvement.

My spectators are usually pretty drunk, so I might see what I can figure out with it. Thanks for the comments on my entries.

TylerRouss: Nobody suspects the catapult. They never see it coming. They’d never guess that like 50% of tricks are accomplished through catapults.

Yeah the catapault is definitely one of my favorite sleight of hand techniques using coins.. it just looks so natural! Also, upon hearing many reviews of our video, I'd like to clarify that the crazy contraption you guys saw actually did work, we used it, and calibrated it. Well worth the time! (cause who doesnt want one of THOSE on their tv set!

Thanks for watching guys!

Daniel: More great acting! Also, you’re damn funny for somebody…well, how old are you? However old you are…I wish I was that funny at your age.

Thanks Rick, glad you enjoyed it. I'm 16! Looks can be deceiving eh..

. Okay, here are my final thoughts: Honorable mentions to Gabriel and Wyatt for thorough, believable methods. Jason gets the comedy award and another honorable mention to Magicbedo for a GREAT performance. Gosh, it’s a close call…but I think the winner has to be Ben. Great performance, great explanation, great execution. You guys can all watch Ben’s video here:

And again, please keep these videos up. They're great, and we want them taking people on the wrong path.

Thanks again to all who competed!!

Wow thanks! I am so glad that you liked my video! It really means a lot to me! Thanks again
- Ben
