1 of 52 Weeks of Magic competition

Postby Dillon_Reyna » Jan 30th, '11, 20:13



Hey magicians! Dillon Reyna here! I'm here to tell you about a competition between me and my friend Matt. Every Saturday, we are going to have a contest to see who can invent the best trick of a certain category. It's up to YOU to pick the winner each week.

This week's challenge: Best Impromptu Color Change

Here's what you need to do. I'm going to post a link to two Youtube videos. One of me, and one of my friend Matt. You need to watch both, then reply to the forum with who had the best trick, and what you want next week's challenge to be.

Thanks!

-Dillon

I think yours really needs the patter, Dillon. It's hard to see what was going on there

I'd have to agree with kolm, also Dillon I'd say it's a bad idea to do a colour change with those cards.

One other thing I don't understand (for both of you) is why did you include music if the clips less than 40 seconds long? I know that the main point of these clips is to show your technical skill but presentation is important.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

If this lasts 52 weeks it will be the real miracle.

Seriously though, Magic Bunny has a competition for the members to come up with tricks. All members. I like that idea, and we should borrow it here.

Thoughts?

I just thought I needed it, I mean it was only a short clip.

What are your specialties? What's your skill level?

.... no offence but I think it's a bit obvious from your vids - although I admit I did vote for yours over Dillon's (lesser of 2 evils really)

.... and to be honest, I also agree:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I'll admit both voids are obvious in a way, but anyway, like I have stated before this is just bewtween two friends going at it with magic is all.
