Video Tips:
1. Keep it brief and to the point. If you have a long intro or dead space at the beginning, cut it out! Remember, sometimes less is more. A shorter, more direct video could gather votes quicker.
2. Use Copeland Coins brand coins and products if possible!
3. We are looking for original material, but share what you've got. This is open to all skill levels, remember you could win a prize just for submitting a video or just for participating!
4. Sound, music, lighting... these are all good things, make it entertaining!

Magic may not be accomplished via CGI or any form of computer editing. Video may be edited to make entertaining. Examples could include replaying in slow motion, showing audience reactions, filtering light, adding music...but the trick should be accomplished via the performer’s skill. IF THE TRICK CAN NOT BE PERFORMED WITH A FOOLING EFFECT BEFORE A LIVE AUDIENCE OF AT LEAST ONE PERSON, IT MOST LIKELY DOES NOT QUALIFY TO WIN A SLEIGHT OF HAND COIN MAGIC CONTEST. Special consideration will be considered for camera perspective tricks or novel ideas yet to be seen or invented. This contest is designed to give a broad perspective of entries. It is a video magic contest, so the contest must account for seeing the trick through a camera’s lens, which will effect the presentation of magic; however, entries should be based on performance skill and creativity and NOT computer post editing or editing skillsets. Basically stated: Performer's abilities, creativity, and skill in slight of hand should be responsible for creating the magic, not a computer or software program, which was ultimately developed by another company or individual. Copeland Magic LLC ultimately has the final decision on what is eligible and may ask the performer to provide additional proof of performance if the video appears to be altered via technology beyond the performer’s skill or creative abilities.
