WE HAVE A WINNER:

There were too many really great submissions so I asked for help. My wife Esther helped in judging. She wanted to enter but the rules prevented that. For the record her entry was about Gazzo's melon producing pouch which she makes fun of to this day.

Our Magic Café winning entry is from imfletcher,

1st Try
For the climax of The Great Don's Cups and Balls Routine, he lifts up the first cup revealing Moe Greene, the second cup revealing Fredo, and to his surprise the third cup producing a Horse's head !!!

For the finale of the effect, Esther thought that after the third load was produced, "The Great Don collapses to his knees and a couple of oranges roll slowly out of a small brown bag collecting next to a pool of fresh blood."



Our winner, imfletcher, will receive an autographed copy of Kingdom of the Red with the 95 minute teaching/performance DVD. Please PM me with your mailing address and I'll ship out your hardcover book and DVD.

Thanks to everyone who entered. You all did a great job.
