Hiya Gang!

It's that time of year! Who will win The Houdin?!

What is your favourite effect that was released in 2013?
Please submit up to 3 entries and we'll tally them up on Feb.01. The winner will relieve a special Limited Edition "Anything Is Possible" bottle- "Trick Of The Year" trophy, called THE HOUDIN AWARD (I think I'll get a little plaque made for the bottle). Fun!

I just woke up and decided to check in on this thread (I wonder who else does that, lol) and just want to say how AWESOME you guys are!! The voting looks great and will really help me tally them up later!

Y'all rock!!

I'm not entirely certain, but I am "pretty sure" that Quantum Bender 2.0 took 1st Place in 2007. If it didn't then it certainly should have. Multi-Dimensional and QB 2.0 are two items that go into that special miracle level we all strive towards.

I remember doing some heavy Google searching when finding the others- looking for "trick of the year" type comments and threads- but that was when the search function was down. Conversely, when this thread is over- we could always do retroactive votes for the missing years? I have no problem handing out Houdi Awards to years gone by! Let's revisit after this one ends!

And, on that note- it would be great if there was a "Book of the Year" thread over in that section http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewf......10&50674 I wrote a book this year, though, so I don't think it would be right of me to start it. Any takers? This format (see above) seems to work really well. This will be the 4th year in a row without any problems.

Thanks for all the STC votes. Really glad you are enjoying it.
