Here. We go...
Heya Everyone! I can't believe another year has gone by! And I apologise for getting this rolling a few weeks later than usual; so let's not waste time and just get started! Before we officially get rolling, let me say that I am happy and honoured to host/moderate yet another year. I went through a huge move (from a big city to a small one) so, quick FYI, I won't be doing too much updating until mid January as I'm just not around as often. Luckily I can copy and paste the rules from previous years and I trust everyone to take part, have fun, and make this awesome for all of us! Good luck!! Hiya Gang! It's that time of year! Who will win The Houdin for 2017?! First, why "Houdin?" Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin is known as the father of modern magic. He was born Jean Eugene Robert and took the "Houdin" portion when he married the daughter of one of the few watchmakers of the time who was still using old world techniques; Jacques Francois Houdin. So, in honor of love and the adding of something to yourself to make you better (in his case he took the name), the nature of watchmaking, creating, tinkering (something I think we, as creators all do!) and the simple coolness of the name, it's what I came up with! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Eug%C3%A8ne_Robert-Houdin Okay- What is your favourite effect that was released in 2017? Please submit up to 3 entries and we'll tally them up on March.01 (that now gives us 2 months of voting and using various effects that get published at the end of the year). The winner will relieve a special Limited Edition "Anything Is Possible" bottle- "Trick Of The Year" trophy, called THE HOUDIN AWARD! Fun! 1. 2. 3. As, well, we now have "The Thurston Award"... This award will awarded to a creator who created an effect in 2016 and who represents the true Spirit of Magic. Great customer service, kind, and a gift to the community. Please submit one entry: 1). And, while we're at it, let's look at some of the past winners that we were able to figure out: Houdin winners ______________ 2000: no voting took place 2001: no voting took place 2002: no voting took place 2003: Passing Through by Kevin Parker 2004: no voting took place 2005: Sinful by Wayne Houchin 2006: Fraud by Daniel Garcia 2007: no voting took place 2008: Multi-Dimensional by Craig Filicetti 2009: no voting took place 2010: Get Sharky by Christoph Borer 2011: Industrial Revelation from Jamie D. Grant 2012: Nest Of Wallets from Nick Einhorn 2013: Inferno by Joshua Jay 2014: Fair Play by Steve Haynes & Inferno by Bobby Hasbun 2015: Svenpad Supreme by Brett Barry 2016: WikiTest by Marc Kerstein Thurston winners _______________________ 2013: Andy Nyman and The Code 2014: Craig Filicetti 2015: Craig Filicetti 2016: Craig Filicetti (Winners have been decided by researching the Magic Café for threads titled Trick of the Year, or something similar, that contained votes from the members.) Ref: 2000: ,2001: ,2002: ,2003: ,2004: ,2005: ,2006: ,2007: ,2008: ,2009: ,2010: ,2011: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......=109&192 _______________________________________________________________ And, gang, I know firsthand how much of an impact this thread will have on someone's life. Seriously. The prestige from this little thread will drive their sales through the roof. So please let's take this seriously, say nothing but nice things, and have fun! We're going to change someone's life! RULES: _____________ So if you follwed this thread last year, things got a little bit complicated. What started out as a fun thread between pals several years ago has turned into a HUGE event and, you know what? That's a good thing! It shows that the art of magic is alive and well and that we're all passionate about it!! To help reduce drama, though (we can never eliminate it, I'm afraid,) let's try and keep to the following... Vote with Trick Name and the Creator Name for Trick of the Year (Houdin). Please submit 3 Entries. Submit 1 Trick Name and Creator Name for Customer Service/Spirit/Kindness of the Year (Thurston) If you have been selected and want to encourage your pals to take part... You must have 50+ posts on the Magic Café for your vote to count. If you're new, that gives you over 2 months to join in the community and share in our passion. It is impossible to police or enforce a "no asking your clients, friends, etc to vote" rule and, personally, I think it's silly to ask people not to share their excitement. How can you have a contest if you're not allowed to talk about it?! On that note, I ask that you please... Don't offer financial incentives. Encourage people to vote for 3, not just one. Limit the number of your announcements to 3 times. I trust people (perhaps that's a fault, lol) but I also trust the voting public to choose what they truly feel is the best and not just what soemone tells them to do. Lastly, this is a thread for JOY. Let me be clear- HAPPINESS! Any post that is not a vote or is something positive, I will ask for it to be deleted. There are other places on the Café (Right or Worng) for political disussions. But they won't be here. Wish me luck (I mean for moderating this thread), lol... Your pal, jamie

For the Thurston Award:
Card Shark reason: Exactly the same reason as the above poster: for the amazing customer service they gave me which really was above and beyond and not to mention their excellent products. (and NO, Card Shark (Christian) didn't ask me to write this ) |

2017 has been an amazing year of magic ... lots of "must have" releases. It was really hard to choose only three, but here are my favorite effects from 2017: The Gift by Angelo Carbone Instagrab by Patrick Kun Whiplash by Josh Janousky As always, a BIG thanks to Jamie Grant for all the work he puts into this thread year after year.
