Saturday Night Contest - Playing Card Commercial

[CaseyRudd]

Tonight’s Saturday Night Contest is inspired by a video uploaded to our media section earlier this week; an old commercial advertising Bicycle Playing Cards. Way back when, they used to advertise playing cards on television, and that vintage commercial is evidence of it.

The challenge tonight is to make a video advertising your favorite brand of playing cards. For example: Sentinels, Tally Ho Circle Backs, Propaganda's, and so on. Any deck you prefer - the choice is yours.

Make your advertisement visually appealing, captivating, and unique. Videos can showcase magic, cardistry, or the deck by itself. The content of your video is limited only to your imagination. Videos should be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or other sharing site and posted in response to THIS forum thread.

The only restriction tonight is that your video must be 60 seconds or less. The winner will take home a shiny new deck of White Centurions and Brown Wynns, both in mint condition, shipped on the house. You have until tomorrow (Sunday) at 7:30pm EST to submit your video - a full 25 hours! (Daylight Savings Time! Set Your Clocks 1 hour behind!)

Crack open your favorite deck and start jamming on your video. Looking forward to seeing your submissions!

Quality of the camera doesn't count; just try your best to make it grab our attention and make it unique! And yes, ANY DECK!

Cool! Thanks Casey! When did you become a theory11 moderator?

thanks casey, I'll be sure to note that...Because it would be embarrassing to make a vid with low quality and its suppose to be an attention catching commercial...

So let's say I had a video including a riffle shuffle, a spring, and a dribble but made it eye catching. Would I have a chance of winning?
