It's the same video, not 2 separate entries!

Enjoy guys, a Solution to Our Laziness.

I was inspired to do this because we are all lazy, we want things to be done when we want without getting up from watching TV, computer, ect. What if you could move things with your mind. Well, we all would love to do that someday, so here is a demonstration of that power we all want.

That is very very good Perspective, but if you are to do this in real life I suggest adding a convincer. Maybe a trusted spectator to make a body hoop and then push the pen through the hoop and onto the table. Its just an idea and my thoughts on it, I also want to mention I love the atmosphere.

Thanks Silverfang. Yours was good too. At first I was only going to do the trick where the pen starts spinning on a bottle cap, but I started to think that I don't do levitations that often. Then I thought about our laziness and the word "levitation" came to mind. I also had to try very hard to set up those candles! haha

Video processing...hurry up! This is my first time at one of these contests, probably won't be my best video, due to the fact I got home a bit late...but will see! Hurry up youtube!
 
My friends!

First, I want to say that it's great to be back - Happy Holidays!

As many of you know we are preparing for the release of CONTROL: The Special Director's Edition. Those of you who have performed CONTROL know that it plays differently than most magic tricks. It's an effect that seems real. It is entirely possible to convince a crowd of skeptical people that you have the ability to slow and stop your heart. This type of magic is strong, unnerving, and potentially a lot more dangerous than others. It's with that in mind that we present this weeks Saturday Night Contest.

In the early 1980s, an American by the name of James Hydrick gained international attention when he claimed he had the ability to perform acts of telekinesis. He went on to demonstrate his powers by causing pages of a phone book to turn, a pencil to mysteriously spin while under an upturned fish tank, and boxing bags in his gym to move completely under his control. Hydrick developed a cult following before being exposed as a fraud by both James Randi and magician and journalist Dan Korem. Tonight's Saturday Night Contest is based on this premise of the supernatural.

Your mission is to create a video that could potentially convince others that you possess supernatural abilities. You have one video to prove it. The more fair, the more incredible, the better. What would you do if you REALLY had superpowers? You wouldn't do an Ambitious Card Routine or sponge ball transposition. What would you really do? Use any method you like - the more believable the final video and the more creative, the better.

All entries must be submitted as a response to this thread no later than 11:00pm EST for judging. Submissions should be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or Drop.io - limit of one entry per participant. The winner tonight will receive a six-pack of any deck available on theory11. Good luck guys!

Heres mine.

oopsie, linked the wrong vid X.x

Hope this works... It's a recycle but I think it applies. If I didn't have to work today, I'd had more time to develop something from scratch, and film tonight.
