@Sal – I’ve extended the deadline, so get the video done brother. I’d love to see it.

Well, I sadly am unable to make a video of my trick, but I’m still going to say write my variation of the Overtime that I came up with, just in case other people had the same problem as I did. You could always picture in your minds eye what it would have looked like in video and say to yourself ‘WOW! That guy really deserved the prize even without entering the contest’. Just throwing that out there 😀

@Sal – As long as the same basic effect is there, I’m cool. Changing the handling, etc is fine. Just don’t show me a coin trick and claim that it’s a variation of “Little People.”

Jeff, I have another question, how close to the instructions on the site does the performance have to be? Do I have to perform it step-by-step just like it’s written, or can I modify the handling? And if I can modify the handling, how much can be done?

I came up with a slight (sleight?) variation on one of the tricks while I was thinking of what to enter for the contest, and if it’s allowed, I think that’s what I’m going to enter (if I get around to filming it in time).

Wow, didn’t expect another contest! My school holidays are coming to an end….hopefully I’ll find the time to enter. Best of luck for those who do enter, looking forward to seeing the submissions!

re: Showing Our Faces

It would hurt MY chances of winning if I DID.

@Sal – No limit to how many entries. Enter as much as you want. As for seeing your face, I’d like to see your face so I can at least “meet” you, but it won’t hurt your chances of winning if you don’t.

@Chet – If you want magic in the afterlife, I hope I don’t have to go to Hecky-poo to bring it to you.

Yes! Another contest! I was only 100 posts away from first place last time, maybe this time I’ll do better 😀

Jeff, I just have a few questions about the contest:

1: Is there a limit to how many entries we can have?

2: If we manage to do an entertaining routine but only have the deck (or coins, flashpaper, mini hands, etc) in the camera, does it still count or do we need to show our face?
