Saturday Night Contest - Halloween Spooks!

[CaseyRudd]

Hey guys! Hope you all are having a great weekend! Halloween is on this coming Friday, so let's get right into it. This week's challenge is all about feeling the creeps!

Your challenge for this week is to take a photo that is spooky, eerie, chilling, or even scary. Your photo can include a magic moment, a cardistry move, or your favorite deck! For example, catch a creepy photo of something levitating, or a scary shot involving your favorite cardistry move or deck. All types are fair game this week, as long as it can creep us out, scare us, etc.

Upload your photo to Instagram or directly here in the forums. Then, post the link to your photo in response to THIS forum thread by no later than 11:00pm EST tomorrow, Sunday, October 26th. All photos have to be taken and uploaded from the time this contest is posted until it ends at 11:00pm tomorrow. No previous photos you have taken are eligible!

What can you take home this week? 1,000 Elite Points, 3 Decks of Your Choice that we have in stock, a deck of Monarch Prestige, AND Candyman by Tobias Dostal! We're dishing out both a trick AND treats this week!

We can't wait to be spooked, and we look forward to seeing your entries!

Not the most magic related, but went to a Jackson Wang concert and this happened which was quite sick imo!

I've been training cardistry after quite a long break. My fingers are starting to remember the old moves but I just can't shake the feeling that somebody is watching me! Good luck everyone and have a great spooky season!

There’s nothing scarier than the destruction of a deck of cards!

Good luck to everyone and happy Halloween!

Our cat Houdini decided to pose for the picture on his own.

Happy Halloween!

I met a ghost in an old corridor that insisted on showing me a card trick:

I don't think this is an AI image ! It's just that bro is a professional 🙌

But it is AI, right? The bed sheets on the left side don’t end and the pattern makes no sense there after the mirrored nightstand, the reflections and what’s behind them match…

I initially thought he took the photo, that's why I asked how many hours did it took, now that I look at it more closely the black inside her mouth looks odd plus in the cards there are two Q of spades and both are different and I have not seen this design before. AI generated photos are not allowed as far as I know, AI generated or real the photo is nice though

I can assure you that it’s not. She’s sitting right next to me. She’s not AI. Lol
My wife said the makeup took a little over an hour. The cards were individually, hot glued. Attached with cardboard underneath.

Glad you liked the image 👍

There are pillows on the floor that make it look like it’s part of the reflection, but it’s actually just pillows that are sitting on the floor that match the bedding.
I used two amaran ace 25c’s lights for the cool lighting at different angles.
I attached two images to kind of show you what we did definitely not AI as I know the rules of the contest.
