My vote for 2017:
1. Xeno by Marc Kerstein 2. Marty by SecretStudio And my Thurston Award vote goes to Max Krause for his astonishing customer service and the heart of giving that surprisingly made me cried this year. Beside all that, is his amazing professional apps (MentalKiller, Cardstat aka MACAAN and Menta-list are fews that I have) that always ready to go whenever-- where ever! |

Well I did vote for Inject 2.0, but seeing as it was wiping the floor clean with votes here and has since been disqualified for being an update, so here are my votes.
Rubik's Dream by Henry Harris I nominate Greg Rostami for the Thurston award |

Inject 2

it’s what the spectators perceive you as doing that matters. That’s the MAGIC they’ll remember.” |

I only bought one trick this year that can be considered "Trick of the Year"
The Gift by Angelo Carbone Also my TA vote goes for Angelo because of his commitment to his customers to get the most of his creation. He started a very successful Facebook support group for users of The Gift.

Remember- Inject 2.0 qualifies if you list an actual effect from it. Hence I nominated Greg Rostami's, Actor's Force routine.

My vote for TOTY goes to Angelo Carbone’s excellent product The Gift. It had an early release in 2017 which I hope doesn’t detract from it being fresh on voters’ minds as it’s truly excellent.
Angelo Carbone also gets my vote for the Thurston Award. Angelo is an incredible creator and his support and ongoing creativity are second to none. He’s also a lovely guy, and I’d love to see him win this award that I believe he truly deserves.
I make magic apps, such as WikiTest, Earworm, ISO, Inertia Pro and Xeno.

Sorry to be negative
But it really feels like ‘king making’ when on one hand you say inject is banned then on the other say ‘oh but you can change your vote for it for a Thurston’ Quote:

Now you have corrupted the Thurston award as everyone who wants to vote Inject as their favourite effect now has to vote Greg for a Thurston instead. The only reason this is annoying [for me] – is I love the Thurston award. Especially when people give reasons for their nomination. As this is the sort of thing that should be held up and rewarded. The extra mile that maybe Card Shark, Phedon, or Carbone go. Creators/manufactures helping magicians [when problems arise] and all that |

Just to make sure we're not rewriting history here, though, my exact words were "an excellent alternative" - and it is. The Thurston (which I love, as well) is an amazing alternative for any creator who has offered incredible customer service, or any of the other things that the Thurston represents. And anyone can win it; including Angelo and Christian- who are also friends of mine. I would suggest that absolutely nothing is corrupted, that it's never a bad thing for people to learn what the Thurston is (if they didn't know already), that people will vote for who they want, and that I don't have any influence on those votes. There are many, many people who deserve the Thurston- and it's up to all of you to decide; not me. Looking forward, I wonder if this Thread is still worth the time and trouble. I'm not picking up my ball and going home- but we have to be realistic. Times are changing, people's interactions are different than they were ten years ago, and it's a different world now with many options of where to find your knowledge and insight. It has to be asked if this still the thing that was originally created. I reckon we'll see how this one goes and take a hard look when it's over. My best, jamie

Yeah but your comment [and the 'banning' of Inject 2] have in effect meant you have 'king made' here
Nobody had any interest in voting for Greg for a Thurston Award I won't keep banging on about this - I just think it's an unfair situation and a corrupted result, if inject 2 hadn't off been banned I suspect he would have got very few [maybe 0 votes for a Thurston] I have had a few emails suggesting [for various reasons] that maybe Greg is NOT a good fit for a Thurston Award - but as they want to keep their views private I don't know that there is any weight to them I don't know Greg at all I can see from this thread that loads of people rate his Inject 2 very highly So this isn't personal at all I just think it's a shame the way this has happened |

Again - I want to state - I apologise for the negativity
And I don't have inject 2 I can see that those who do - seem to really love/rate it So it really is nothing to do with the product or Greg personally I just wish this situation hadn't happened Thanks for running this jamie all the best to all x |
