Oh s***, tell me this is a joke! Ive been working alllllllllllllll week like a donkey.
This website is too "active" we can't leave the site for couple of days and BOUM we miss the most awesomest contest EVER!
Iam trying to go to MC for weeks but it's like...super expensive (plane + hotel + tickets + etc... = aprox. 3500euros).
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, if the winner hesitates or have any problemes I will be glad to make backward rolls without feet or jog naked in the snow yelling "I love you JB" (Iam seriouuus),if it allows me to win this opportunity!!!!!!!!
And to be honest, I would love to go to Magic-Con. Today, magic is more and more about selling A one and only "trick", and we see guys come out of nowhere saying "this is the best trick ever blablabla". It's obvious that something is wrong with this kind of stuff. All the people expected at this convention...I mean, they are hard workers of magic, they wrote entire books on the subject ! Their thinking is so much more advanced...Today a lot of people do magic because it's "cool", because tricks became "available",easy (somewhat in the vein of the MTV and Youtube generation, we want everything right away, without working). But they don't realised that those trick are "easy" because people have worked for decades to improve, to understand the whole psychology and mechanics behind it.
To understand why this is an art, to understand why this crazy idea of "deceiving" could have its OWN SPECIFIC FORMS to express something new, something different.
Cinéma also suffers from this since a long time (invention of the star system), and why? because cinéma is a language and "film as any language must be learned" (André Bazin). I think it's the same for magic, for "deception", it has it's own language and this is not something you learn just by "mastering" a trick. And when you see the programing of this Convention, it is unthinkable to miss it....I mean, seriously WTF??!!
Anyway,sorry I get excited for nothing, it's too late. But if there is any chance I could win this contest by any means necessary (yep), well... that will be great, like doublecheese great. I've already missed Juan Tamariz when he was in Paris last year (hospitalization...snifsnouf, shut up) and I'm getting a little tired of missing some things due to a simple question of money.
