Saturday Night Contest : What You Think
- Thread starter The Dark Angel
- Start date
Doesnt every single Saturday night contest invlolve flourishing or cardistry? I want to see something new. The contest usually always involve your own creative style by demonstrating magic and/or cardistry. Not once have I seen a magic/sleights related winner. Im not entirely against cardistry/flourishing but I would just like to see something new going around. Something that impresses me. I'm not trying to insult any of the winners of these video contests but I am trying to prove a point. You can see creativeness in flourishing but not enough to get you invloved in your entire train of thought(my opinion).What I mean by this is I would rather watch magic for one hour and have myself constantly thinking about the mechanics behind each effect than to watch flourishing with cards all revolving around basic root of flourishing. I would like to see others get back to the basics with some good old hard hitting magic. It cant be to hard if you are just performing by yourself in front of a camera.Thats it.
I really want some that dont have to do with skills. Many people have talent and can eaisly win these. Lets have a contest for the under dogs. Like make a picture. Or something like that.
They should do a contest that has a big prize like a brick of cards but it has to be something that everyone can do. No video or photoshop.

Oh yay you were on the computer longer than someone!

Was just about to post that I absolutely love the video contests and would love some more that don't really rely on the skill of our magic/manipulation.
Or maybe a contest where we, the users, must create a fake product for Theory11. The best/most creative/funniest would win...

Today is the day. Remember something that everyone can do. No cameras, and with a big prize like a deck of S&M. Or a brick
I think a great SNC should be "The Best Theory11 video Preview"
Meaning that, like when you watch the previews for Exile or TNR or whatever trick you are watching, you make a video preview of a trick that's one theory11 and the best video wins.
The best video will be based on performance, how the video is edited and music, and how it flows. It's not choppy and jerky and suddenly cuts.

Will there be a contest tonight? If so, where do I go to find out about it? I am new to the forums, but eager to participate.

Hey, just thought I'd post some feedback on the 10/25 contest (it hasn't ended yet).
I really like video contests where we have to perform magic. It gives us a chance to show off our chops and see what everyone's working on.
I would really like more like this, but my only hope is that you wait till 2009 because I'll have my video camera up at college and will actually be able to perform for some people. Why should you listen to my request? Because the world revolves around me, that's why.
But in all seriousness, I really like them.

i thought of an interesting SNC. a cardistry video, but heres the catch, you can only use one card. i think itd be cool to see different peoples ideas on this.
then comes the problem of royalties and such. good idea though. id be up for that.
