I havent been called out once on this yet, and if you keep the presentation at a really high level, you wont have to worry about it. But thanks for your comments though!

Even you are right, If you keep up the presentation and handle the deck while talking or any other misdirection without giving it any attention then your way can be achieved. But i think that a deck switch is better and will look to them very fair because the deck will be always in view. (but you need a little misdirection for this too)

Great idea, but I wouln't use the real levitations and real levitation names for an audience. Whatever you name it you could call it the Tumel levitation and they are none the wiser, just in case they can go and google up the balducci levitation and find out how it was done.

Also the king rising levitation is so cool that once again having a heckler reveal that a foot goes out the shoe reveals the method of a great effect. How about doing something different and even fake a levitation another time?

All in all the idea is good but it destroys the possibility of someone being amazed in the future by the first two levitation styles.

Thats just what I was thinking at the moment, which is debatable of course.

You are right. No one should use the real levitation names. Instead use some other name like..... SUCKER LEVITATION lol. You are right again, its not compulsory to do a King Rising the second time. You can do other levitation which is not that great as King Rising. Because the idea is to fail the first two times. You can use any levitation, Instead of doing the king rising, do the skywalker (This includes in my entry). So that the king rising style will not be reveled.

Thanks for the great idea

I told my preferences to exo and since im not that much familiar with the specific handlings of certani t&r'S I asked exo to help out a little.

[S.U.B-Xero]

I hope that this is not going to be the same as "The Lord Of All Contest". I mean the result part.

[Will Thong]

Waheeeey don't knock the contest. OK, so it's very late coming, but it should be out in a day or two. I was still waiting for donkeykong's contributions, but I decided to push on without him!

[S.U.B-Xero]

This contest is up from months but still the results aren't declared. Whats the matter? Is mindslur gone?

[Alex Hess]

No he is not, however to be honest, I don't feel this contest went accordingly.

For now on, we are doing the contest completely different now. They have exact set dates and are ran only by administration. This was one thing that we re-did since the new site launch

No more second-rate contests, and no more slop.

For now, the thread is closed and will be trashed in 30 days. Sorry that the contest turned out this way. I will post all the entries in a single thread so people can refer to them for tips and routines.
