So I've got a dilemma

I've come up with a shift/pass. I would like to submit it somewhere because I've never heard of or seen a pass like mine. I don;t know what to do. Help?
 
Make a video of it, and send it to a few knowledgeable magicians. And make sure to research it, as well.
 
What Jv said.

It's very difficult to come up with something truly new, so it's likely that you've created something that already exists. If you haven't done a lot of reading on the pass, I'd recommend you start looking for resources. If you have, then I agree with Jv entirely, make a video and send it to some people that know a lot.

I don't really know the people on this forum so well, but I'd guess that J.Bayme, Shane Black, Reaverhart, Morg, Pre, Mikk are good options. They all know their stuff.

If i can post one tomorrow I will. The pass I made ended up being for color changes. Not using the pass as a color change but..ah it's hard to explain.
 
nevermind. it can be used for things other that color changes. it just happens to work with a lot of them. I made up a very good sandwich effect with it. Ill probably send the video(s) to j.bayme
 
Slade,

Post that bad boy up and we can take a look at it. My guess is it is something already out there or it could be a variation of a pass /shift. There are so many it is ridiculous.

If you are concerned that people are going to "steal" it then maybe just PM a link to J. Bayme or Raiker and see what their response is.

You know you are the first one to ever recommend me :).

I shall bump this thread again with the following sentence: POST THAT SH*T UP!

Second, actually. I copied most of that list from Draven's last thread about mentors. But I'm sure if I knew this place better you'd be on my recommended list :)
 
Don't you worry, D ICE R, I know you know your stuff. As I said, I don't know this community very well, so I just copied other recommendations.
