Hey guys, hope you all are having a great week! On this week's episode of Expose we highlighted the new film The Walk; a biographical drama highlighting the famous French tightrope walker Philippe Petit, who stared death in the face with every step as he crossed the gap between the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The only thing keeping Philippe from falling to his death was one wire as he was suspended more than 1,300 feet in the air; it almost looked as if he was floating above New York City. Fun fact: Philippe Petit was also a magician; he performed a coin vanish during his Academy Award acceptance speech!

What's the challenge? Your job is to create an effect that involves an "impossible" suspension/levitation in some way. It could be the main part of the effect, or it could be a tiny part. The main thing we are looking for is how creatively the suspension/levitation is used in the effect. For example, you could levitate a ring as you place it on your finger, suspend a deck of cards on the edge of a table, etc. As long as there is a suspension/levitation in your effect, it is fair game.

What are we looking for specifically in the judging process? Creativity, Execution, and Originality. Make sure your effect is polished before filming, and make sure you think outside the box for this one. The more creative, unique, and original, the better. Also, the video must be NEW - uploaded between the posting of this contest and the end. Any old videos submitted will be automatically disqualified.

Film your performance and upload it to either YouTube, Vimeo, or Instagram. Then, post the link to your video in response to THIS forum thread by no later than 7:30pm EST tomorrow, Sunday, October 18th. You have 24 HOURS to participate this week; make that time count! After time is up, our panel of judges will go through all submissions and decide on a winner based on the criteria listed above.

What can you win this week? 1,000 Elite Member Points, a deck of pre-release Green Monarch Playing Cards, and VERTIGO by Rick Lax, shipped on the house, anywhere in the world.

We are in complete suspense (pun fully intended) to see what effects you have in store for us this week. You have 24 hours - get to it!
