Hey guys, we posted a picture on Instagram and a new video in the Media Section featuring Michael James using Mystery Box Playing Cards - a collaboration with Bad Robot and JJ Abrams to benefit 826 National, a charitable organization that promotes creative writing in schools and workshops across the USA.

The challenge for this week uses inspiration from that photo. Your challenge is to capture a still photo of you performing your favorite flourish. It can be any move, from any angle, just make sure it is you executing the move. It can be a cut, a fan, a spring, or anything in between.

What specific criteria are we looking for? Composition, content, setting, and lighting. Make sure the positioning of the cards in your image makes sense and is interesting. Make sure the background of your image is not filled with clothes lying around your room. And make sure we can see the cards with proper lighting. Make it as captivating and interesting as possible, and you have a greater chance of winning!

Post your photos to Instagram and hashtag it with #theory11 so we can easily find it. Post a link to your image in response to THIS forum thread by no later than 7:30pm EST tomorrow, Sunday, November 9th. You have 24 HOURS to participate. Once time is up, our panel of judges will go through all submissions and decide on a winner based on the criteria listed above. Each participant gets a maximum of three entries, so make 'em count!

What can you take home? 1,000 Elite Member Points, and a deck of ultra-rare, unreleased Rarebit Copper Edition Playing Cards, shipped on the house, anywhere in the world.

Good luck, and we can't wait to see your images!
