I didn't feel offended

I think you're right in what you say...

Kischiman:

Haha, "i hoped it would be at least a draw" the poll doesnt close for another 3 days, so you have some time...

I have to disagree with you kischiman. No offense intended, I like you're gaff ideas, but i'm most positive that it has been done before. I was mainly looking for creativity on this one. That is why I voted for Cornman, I beleive his are the most creative. Seeing that he is not going to win, I then noticed that you're gaff, kischiman, is not very original. I've seen gaffs like it before. They sell a gaff just like it in the Gaff Decks on E i'm pretty sure...I think its even in the promo video.

No offense to anyone, just my feelings on the two that were the most creative, which were IMO Cornman's and GnR's.

But i'm not "rooting" for anyone in this one, just my thoughts on the gaffs.

Thanks!

~Ryan

Yeah, okay, I absolutely understand you.
Before Cornman posted his gaffs I wanted to make kind of those as he posted later, but he was first and I needed to make a completely different gaff to not let it look like I have stolen his idea. So I came up with this...
And I agree, Cornman's gaff is kind of original, but his gaff looks like the 2of-clubs to 8of-clubs -gaff in the red gaff deck (I know, this sentence sounds a bit weird). That would be my contra-opinion to what you just wrote.
But is creativity really everything in this contest? We all made gaffs, which did not exist yet, but how about hanling and the tricks with them?
Well, I believe we can talk about this for hours and days, so let's just relax and see who wins :-)
I just tried (and failed) to print my gaff, but I will try tomorrow again, so what I mean is, everyone of us has already won something: new gaff-ideas to print and try out!
So, let's stop arguing! Peace and sorry for everything :-P

It was a very close "race" but Kischiman is our winner.

Please PM me with which gaff cards you want, and I will get Exo to give you the V.I.P

Congratulations, I will run another contest soon enough!

Lets give a round of applaus to Kischiman

Hey,

I think it was a very nice contest, and I kischiman really made the best gaffs so far. Congratulations!

I think I will try my best again in the next contest, but I hope it's not again the same thing with gaff cards.

Thanks guys and thanks to everybody who turned on his creativity to create the gaffs and also thanks to the voters. With 1000+ forum members I thought there would be a few more people who would vote but nevertheless, thanks to you.

I will not take part in the next contest since I want to give other participants a fair chance to win and avoid me winning again (could happen, why not?).
So therefore I will be just a voter.

So, thanks again to everybody and those who lost, don't give up, I wish you best luck at the next contest!

I really like the 8 of diamonds with lots of pips. I think it would look great in a "squiched"/vanishfed deck effect with only the selection remaining.

It's too bad I didnt get a chance to vote in this poll. I really like GnR's cards, especially with the story telling. And since we're on the topic, does anyone know of any story telling card tricks?

There is a really good trick with a story by Oz Pearlman on his DVD "Watch Magic". But I don't know exactly the title.

Well, I was going to award VIP to the winner of this contest, and that seems kind of dumb now that the download section is gone. I am a man of my word, and I do not find it fair for a user to get "jipped" out of something, so I will be shipping you a free-of-charge Red/Violet Wynn deck (your choice).

Enjoy!
