That was a great run! Thanks to all who participated! This was quite an interesting contest for me for one particular reason. MagicLemonbird (Augustus Chang) submitted an interesting video that had a technique of out jogging two cards - simple, powerful, and versatile. The move had an element of surprise inherently built into it and it made me scratch my head and wonder ..."Why I didn't think of that before?"
After watching his video, I picked up my deck and began to experiment, as a result, I came up with a neat little variation of instantly producing a star display (similar to that of Augustus Chang's). I wanted to contact Augustus to refilm the video and explore the concept further; however, I refrained from doing so as that would be unfair to the rest of the participants. I hope you play with the idea and explore it further, it has a ton of potential!
On the flip side, there were many great submissions with creative moves in them; however, the majority have been done in the past; although I enjoyed watching all of them. With that said - the honorable mentions of tonight are Bao Hoang, Steffen Banta, and Magic Powder.
I wish there was more than one winner that could be picked but if you learned something from forcing your creativity a little further tonight, you're a winner by anyone's measure. With that said, tonight's official winner is
Nicobva with his slick card cut that had a unique twisting element to it. Congratulate him on a great submission. Thanks to all!
