Saturday Night Contest - Any Conversation

[CaseyRudd]

Hey guys, hope everyone is having a great weekend! On Monday, we release a new project in collaboration with Will Guidara, author of New York Times bestseller Unreasonable Hospitality. You may have seen his TED Talk, or know him as the founder of Eleven Madison Park or the NoMad Hotel.

This new project brings a new heartbeat to the old card games that you already know and love. They're designed to inspire deeper connection and conversation with the ones that you love, while still keeping the fun of those classic card games. We think you guys will really enjoy it, but that's all we can say for now until the full release on Monday.

Tonight's contest is inspired by the heart of that brand new project. Let's say you were sitting across the table from somebody in history, whether that be a public figure, a world famous magician, or even someone from your life that's no longer with us. You get one question to ask them. What is that question and who is it for?

Submit your answers in response to this forum thread by no later than tomorrow, Sunday, September 28th at 11pm ET. Once time is up, we will go through all submissions and select one at random to win this week's prize.

What can you win? 1000 elite points, a copy of the new release on Monday, and a deck of Monarch Prestige Playing Cards, shipped on the house anywhere in the world.

Good luck!

This one's a good one.... I would ask Charlie Miller if I did good on his Up The Ladder and if I interpreted it well to his liking:

I would want to talk to my brother who passed away. I wish I could ask him how he is doing and just let him know how much I miss and love him.

 

[JamesonA]

I’d ask Jesus what’s an issue people think is a bigger deal than it is in today’s times?

[Nikolay Karagyozov]

I would ask about the most joyful moment my grandma had

 

[Ejwhite25]

Probably talk to my grandfather who passed in 2020 and ask him how he's doing, sit and talk with him one last time.

 

[Troiy Lim]

I'd choose to sit with Harry Houdini and ask him: "Which single escape or illusion genuinely pushed you to the absolute limit of what you thought was physically or mentally possible, and what was the deepest fear you had to conquer to achieve it?" I want to know about the moment he genuinely faced his greatest doubt, the fear that wasn't part of the act, because understanding that private struggle is more compelling than seeing the public showmanship.

I would choose my grandfather, and would ask to just tell me more stories of him and my grandmother that I don't know of. And we might be playing brisca or tute meanwhile.

 

[Momento]

I will ask derren brown, what is the trick that gives him the most joy while performing and which trick is the closest to his heart

 

[kappmen]

I would like to talk to my friend who is missing and ask him what happened to him, or at least find out if he is alive or not.

I would ask Muhammad Ali "What’s the one truth you discovered about courage that the rest of us still need to learn?”

 

[Furrukh]

I would ask David Copperfield about the secrets of some of his famous illusions

 

[neilvinzon]

I'll ask Einstein, "What’s the one principle or belief you live by, no matter what?"

I’d ask David Lynch how he would bring together mystery and magic.

 

[JerryM11126]

I would ask Stan Lee "Which of your characters best taught you about the human spirit's resilience, and what was that lesson to you?" Stan Lee touched the heart of so many and sadly treated poorly durning his last few years of his life

 

[Amit R.]

I would sit down with Terry Fox and ask him, “When life got difficult, what would you say to yourself to help you persevere through the most physically and emotionally stressful moments?”

 

[Patrix]

I would sit down with my mom and dad.
I would ask them if I’ll always have this hole in my heart.
