    Saturday Night Contest - 30 Seconds of Change

    Hi guys, just to clear this up a bit more, the judging was decided ONLY based on how many color changes were completely executed. We defined "completely executed" to mean presented in a reasonably passable manner, with minimal flashes, in our discretion. How many different color changes were...

    Saturday Night Contest - 30 Seconds of Change

    He had a quantity that didn't flash all of the color changes like a lot I saw. It was a bonus. You get bonus points for being creative with what you can do for these types of contests. We've said that for a long time. A lot of people rushed and you could see exactly how the change was done. We...

    Saturday Night Contest - 30 Seconds of Change

    When I said routine I meant the structure of all of the changes and how they flowed together. It was definitely a nice bonus to add to his video. It's that simple.

    Saturday Night Contest - 30 Seconds of Change

    The rules were very clear. The post stated "Technique must be passable in order to prevent exposure of the moves within your video. So don't rush too much!". A lot of the videos had a lot of color changes in 30 seconds but they either flashed/accidentally exposed the moves. The winner's video...

    Saturday Night Contest - 30 Seconds of Change

    Clean execution was in the contest rules so accordingly, we took that into account and believed the winning video in the end deserved the win. Nevertheless, amazing work and thank you to everyone who participated tonight!

    any good magic books

    Agreed with William. If you are into card magic, Card College/Royal Road have personally helped me a lot, and will get you started the right way. If you are into more parlour style magic/stage magic, then Tarbell/Mark Wilson's Course in Magic are great starting points. There are also quite a few...

    rice papers

    Bizau credits Rick in the description of his video, and he uploaded it after coin through shirt was published. Hope that answers your question!

    Ace Storm

    Very nice Michael! Something I would suggest is to keep practicing it and making it look smoother in the beginning, but that's with everything :) Also, this is just me though, if you produced the red aces, you wouldn't need to produce them again later on after the color changes. To me color...

    Soda trick...

    There is also a neat force you could do with a pen/marker and some napkins from a restaurant table. Ask the people at the table what the popular sodas are, and on each napkin under cover of your hand, you are going to write the same soda (the one you are going to switch to), once each on each...

    Soda trick...

    If you're at a restaurant, you could grab a glass and explain that you mistakenly grabbed this soda instead of your favorite. Ask the audience what their favorite soda is, and have them name several. Make the soda you are going to switch to be a popular one that people will think of a good...
