The Creativity Challenge

[tally-ho]

I had this idea a while back, and was inspired to make this thread because of a previous thread posted by SamRochon found here. This thread will be the first of hopefully many to come. This is just a preview to see if everyone enjoys this.

The purpose of this is to push people's creativity. I will make a list of different objects that would not normally be used, or thought to be, for magic. I want people to create a routine film it.

This challenge involves a few different items you should have around your house.
1. 4 AA batteries
2. 2 post-it notes
3. a pen
4. hairbrush/comb

If you want to use anything else, ask me and I will consider allowing you to use it.

While there is no actual prize, I will offer the winner a variety of original effects through a pm if they want.

Have fun and be creative. Submissions will be due on Sunday 15.

Would we have to use them all? you didnt make that very clear not being rude or anything this should be fun.

not at all. you could only use the post-its if you want. I would prefer it if it involved more than one, but it would be fine as long as it is completely original.
EDIT: actually, if anything is still vague or unclear, feel free to ask.

this may sound stupid, but do you want a video by the 15th or just the idea. cause there is a lot someone can do but they might not have the necessary items to complete the effect.

It has to be a video, but I will change the deadline, because Sunday is a little too close. I'll give until wednesday 18.

I think that its a pretty cool idea. If I had something other than a crappy webcam, I'd definitely give it a try.

I'll have to give it a try.

If we already have a video made can we post it in this thread?

Why do I feel like I've seen this before? Anyway, let's see how many people participate.

Do the item's need to be used explicitly, as a prop, or can I use one or two of them as secret gimmicks, to achieve an effect?

okay, to clarify, videos are to be linked on this thread. If you want to make a secret gimmick, that is fine, but the entire effect can only use those items.

 

[nexusmagic]

ohhhh it only uses those items.
so this probably will not work

This is a cool challenge, I like stuff like this.
I'll try to get a video made up.

Thanks, remember videos have to be submitted by wednesday. I'll probably even post a video as an example for those running low on ideas.
