Tonight's Saturday Night Contest was inspired by a submission posted earlier this week in our Media section - Unnatural. Quite simply, Ineski accomplishes nothing in the effect. To the spectator, a single playing card is placed face down on the table and then, after some brief byplay, turned back over by the performer. In reality, there's so much more happening. The description sums up the message of the video:
"Too many people are focusing only on the unnecessary, unnatural sleights. This sometimes makes the magic very confusing to follow and the effects get blurred."
Your goal tonight is to create a video showcasing an original routine, constructed so it portrays this message. That is, an effect that - to a laymen - accomplishes nothing, but involves a minimum of three sleight of hand movements. You can utilize patter, or perform the routine to music; whichever you please. We're looking for the most beautiful, creative, and original submission.
To ensure you have plenty of time to come up with something extraordinary, you have until 11:00pm EST tomorrow (Sunday) to get your submissions in - to be judged by the theory11 team. Videos can be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or drop.io. Tonight's winner will receive a copy of our latest release from Jason England - Foundations - in digital download format. Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.
