OOOOooooohhhh.... We have 4 people looking at doing this now...


I'm now offering a deck of Massas to the runner up if we make it to 5 people total. We want to see these competitions grow.

I may offer a larger, unannounced prize to the winner of random competitions in the future as incentive for everyone to participate regularly.
//merged//
Original - 20pts
Smooth - 20pts
Visual - 20pts
Smart - 20pts
Captivating - 20pts
Total - 100pts

Original - The routine must be unique. You can't just take someone's handling of a routine and copy it. You can use tricks, you can use people's handling, but make it your own at the same time. Be Creative!

Smooth - Fluid, well practiced. It can't look like you learned this today. Flashes will count against this. Dropped cards will count against this. We aren't being tyrants about this, but the less you mess up and the smoother you are, the higher your score is going to be.

Visual - You must be able to grab our attention. It must look like magic.

Smart - The routine must have a direction. You can't just jump between unrelated tricks.

Captivating - You must make something that people want to watch. We need to feel like we don't want to stop watching as we view your performance.

Alex and I will complete this rubric for each video submitted and average our scores. Scores will not be made public, but each participant will be given their individual score and personal feedback from Alex and me.

Cardini: we'll probably do that type of contest in the future. Hopefully more people will be willing to participate then.

Weezyf: can't wait to see it, good luck!

Four videos up, 4 1/2 hours left. I will post a message declaring the end of the contest at 7PM eastern. Any entries after that will not be accepted.

Cardini, Brandon, WeezyF, and canadamagic have all entered, and all look amazing. Anybody have the guts to take them on? 259 minutes to do it.
