I would if the rules were changed a little maybe, but I can't perform for spectators since I only have a fixed webcam which offers bad angles, so I can only perform for camera? I can do an impromptu battle though..

Yeah no longer than 3 man, if that's cool with you - sorry for not making that clearer. I haven't decided yet but I think I know what I'm shooting - it'll be based closely on your original idea, you're somewhere with friends and someone asks you to do a trick using something they have :) Good luck!
 
Alright sweetness man,
good luck to you to!
you will need it!
HAH jkjkjkjk I hate it when people do that, Ill probably need it lol...

I don't know what the exact gimmick is - but yeah, as long as you can bring it into play right away and not have to set it up during the actual performance - if you have it there with you and you can perform with it immediately after the spectator gives you a coin, by all means, that's cool. :)

The effect I'm planning to use is "gimmicked" as well - though it's not really a gimmick. The item starts off completely normal and ungmmicked, and I make it gimmicked during the performance, on camera with nothing extra.

Nah, I wanted to do something different, no cards, I'm performing Dreamweaver (with safety pins), and I'm just about to put up the video now. When you put yours up, propose a new deadline for the battle (immediately), I'll accept, and we can get the voting started straight away :)

I'm not sure if they'll default it to me, I'm happy to ignore the music rule, I totally understand - I don't want a default result though... If the system automatically defaults it to you, then you might have to shoot a new one - but if the default is done manually, we'll just ignore the music rule - it was only meant to encourage patter anyway, sorry about that...

EDIT: I contacted Richard re: this, I'll let you know when I get a response..
