'Tis Saturday night and, as such, it's time for another edition of our weekly contest. Last year, daniel+Madison hosted an SNC designed to get your creative juices flowing. Today, we carry on that tradition with round two of the Collective Brainstorm sessions.
The challenge this week is to create and film the best magic effect using one of, any of, or all of, the following five random objects: a cell phone, a single playing card, a rubberband, an envelope, and a key. You can use two of those objects, three of those objects, four of those objects, or all of them; it's your choice. Just to review: one cell phone, one playing card, one rubberband, one envelope, one key. Major points for originality, but the effect does not need to be completely original - we're just looking for creativity.
Some examples? Tear a single playing card into four separate pieces. The pieces go into a completely empty envelope - then slowly removed to show the playing card has been restored. Visually bend a house key, then restore it. Link an ordinary key onto a rubberband, then unlink it and show both to be normal and fair. Place the cell phone in a large envelope, then crumple up the envelope - vanishing the phone. The possibilities are endless - there are merely some ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
Note that you can utilize other objects, if necessary - as long as the five primary visible tools are the aforementioned objects. How you make the magic happen is in your hands. All entries should be uploaded to either YouTube, Vimeo, or Drop.io and submitted as a response to this thread no later than 11:00pm EST, for judging. The winner tonight will receive a six pack of the recently released Bicycle 125's, on the house. Good luck!
