Really enjoyed seeing all of these submissions tonight - we watched every single one of them. Above all else, it was great to see the creativity demonstrated within such a tight timeline - 3 hours. Very impressive work by EVERYONE.
Drumroll, trumbones, and suspense... the winners... more drumroll... louder... softer... good. Three submissions tonight stood out to us the most. The first was daveygs magic's effect with the key ring. I've seen this plot before, but it's a fun effect using everyday objects that could play very well for lay audiences.
The second video tonight that stood out to us was ZachMonky's Converse effect - with the label changing on his shoes. I thought this effect was a VERY neat idea that could have some interesting applications. Would have been better in my opinion for it to step outside the bounds of a card trick, but nonetheless the presentation ("it's a lot easier to pick a card when... no one... is... here") made us laugh and entertained us.
Last but not least - tonight's winner. More drumrolll. Okay less. Good. Better. Yes. Glory. Tonight's prize (long distance hugs) goes to Kirby for his chapstick trick
here. This seemed like a genuine, simple, impromptu effect - something that spectators would be entertained by and fooled. Check your PM's within the next 24 hours for info on how to redeem your prize (any 1-on-1 on the house).
Congrats to all three of these members - and our winner this evening - and everyone else that participated. Keep the creativity juices flowing and have a rockin sockin weekend fo sho! Peace!
