The odds of creating a trick that hasn't EVER been done before by anybody is extraordinarily slim, all we ask is that the individual come up with something on their own. They might not know it has been done before, or it could be a variation on a trick that already exists. We don't expect everyone to know the entire history of magic that's ever been created. That's just simply impossible.I just looove how you guys set rules to create a trick and then choose somebody who has simply performed a trick that already exists. 85% of the tricks posted this week were not created.
I think it's unfair to the 3 people who actually forced themselves to create something new.
Yup... Really impressed
It certainly does not leave a good impression on us when a troll submission is posted,

We also ask that the people that enter these contests to be respectful of the judges' time when reviewing submissions. It certainly does not leave a good impression on us when a troll submission is posted, especially when its length is the longest of any submission at near 5 minutes, only to realize it wasn't a legitimate submission. We ask that all participants take the contests seriously.
...consider that to be outside the box compared to a card trick. We want people to step out of their comfort zone with these contests...
I getcha man, but nothing in magic can be created it’s been 2020 years since the birth of Christ AT SOME POINT someone has had an extremely similar thought to every thought we’ve ever had. In fact as much as I liked your submission, I hate to tell you the “zoo joke” plot has been around before any of us were born. The idea to trick your spectator into thinking you are doing a magic trick and then just “give ‘em a bird”. My favorite being:Wasnt meant as a troll submission, was stated in post that it is for hecklers or even a finalee to walk off stage. it goes by the style of magic i do wich is a freak show-magic act. instead of pretending to reads people minds with the whole placing my hands on their forehead or looking deeply in their eyes, i instead get spectators to slap me in the face (really hard) and say ''only the jack of spades could hit like that '' as a reveal.
i guess you've never seen something like that trick wich does make it outside the box and is completly original... i beleive you have misjudged its value and reason for being... prejudice.
all i ask is when you guys set rules, please be specific about them. you say CREATE a trick... i create a trick, from scratch. effect and method.
it also gives the magicians here something to use for their own good if they feel the need to do something of this sort.
sorry you considered it a troll post, it was done with humour both for you guys, and will probably be used in my future presentations as humour to the rest of the audience watching this being performed.... but please be SPECIFIC next time.
i wont spend next contest pacing my mind as to what to invent. and yes as magicians CREATING a NEW trick.... you are supposed to know the history of magic, that is part of a creative process to find out if what you are doing is original.
people create new tricks all the time, you cant sell a trick that belongs to someone already tho can you? unless its older than so many years and has no copyright on it anymore. just like music, artist write NEW songs every day, and if they havent checked music history, and they copy someone elses song , they are gonna get sued.
contest should have read ''DO a magic trick outside the box'' not create.
Of course they're prejudiced. Jurors have to be prejudiced, otherwise they wouldn't be able to declare a winner in any contest. Everything is beautiful, funny, magical from some point of view.i beleive you have misjudged its value and reason for being... prejudice.
When doing a trick at the SNC (or anywhere else), you have to ask yourself: Is it fitting for this purpose?was stated in post that it is for hecklers or even a finalee to walk off stage. it goes by the style of magic i do wich is a freak show-magic act [...] i guess you've never seen something like that trick wich does make it outside the box and is completly original ...
At this point we partially agree: Yes, the rules could have been clearer, and it's commendable that you tried to create something completely from scratch.all i ask is when you guys set rules, please be specific about them. you say CREATE a trick... i create a trick, from scratch. effect and method [...]

in fact, I'd be almost prepared to bet that somebody has already used your idea in the past as well
Thanks, Rusty, I hadn't seen your reply when I wrote that. And thank you also for reminding me to be a bit more positive:In fact as much as I liked your submission, I hate to tell you the “zoo joke” plot has been around before any of us were born. The idea to trick your spectator into thinking you are doing a magic trick and then just “give ‘em a bird”. My favorite being:
Probably the most famous being:
Well, all of them use the notes "Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti'' at least *somewhere* in their songs, so it's not 100% original.artist write NEW songs every day
Yes, every Snc entry I’ve used for 3 years were unlisted YouTube linksBtw @Casey Rudd can entered videos (in future SNC's) be unlisted?
Well I really appreciate that, very happy I can make someone genuinely entertained@010rusty , I have my exams (the national kind) coming up and after a day I've spent learning up about Refraction for high school Physics, can I just say the way you melted my brain with that the first time was NOT FUNNY!
(Btw, amazing and fun, not two words I use often with magic now-a-days tbh XD)
