Important: Please do not send us an email saying such and such trick on the
site doesn't meet the following spec. The site is over 4 years old and the first videos were made before this was
written.
If you are a talented magician you can have your work and creations added to Pubtricks.com.
You will find all the information you need on this page so please read this carefully as only the best
of the best will make it on the site in 2008. The 2 key areas are:
|
The trick must be 100% original
The trick must be 100% impressive

What makes an ultimate trick or illusion? :
Something unexpected, something that looks impossible. No body is interested in the 'pick a card,
any card' routines, pulling rabbits from hats and performing your magic in a badly fitting suit.
What should the video look like? :
The video should look urban and street. The following images give you a taste of the style
we insist on having. No filming in your kitchen or bedroom. It has to be on the street, filmed
with spectators. You have to get the reactions of people watching, film their faces when
you pull off the best effect ever.
Filming tips :
You need to use a good video camera. Use a second person to film for you so they can film you and the
spectators. Use editing software to compile your film footage. Make sure the lighting is good and the sound
is clear. It has to have a TV style to it and not a home made feel.
What do you need to send us? : You need to send 2 video files.
The first is the film of the trick and the second is the tutorial video. The tutorial video
is just as important, may be even more. We want people who buy your trick to be happy with
their purchase. The tutorial needs to be easy to follow and cover ideas for getting the most out
of the effect and what to look out for.
If your trick needs a gimmick it must be easy/possible to make this gimmick at home for very little cost.
The trick should be no longer than 5 minutes and the tutorial should
be no longer than 10 minutes. Remember people need to download them! You can email them to us at the address
below:
If you video files are too big to email then use a system like www.yousendit.com. We need the video in the highest
quality possible and then we will convert it to the correct size for downloading. We can take films in any format,
mpeg, wmv and mov.
What you get in return? :
Your trick will be added to the site and we can discuss options of a regular payment per copy sold (royalties) or
we pay you a one off payment for the rights to use your performance and trick. We will not disclose payments on this
page but you will not be disapointed. You may be required to sign a license agreement which includes statments where you
declare the performance and trick is your invention. If you are under 18 you will need to get your parent or guardian's
permission.
Thinking big! :
If you have created several original effects then we have the chance of making you a special section
on the site for your work. We would like 2 or 3 street magicians to have their own sections. A minimum of 5
effects would be needed for a section. This would then include profiles and information about you. It could
be just what you need to step into the world of high end magic.
We look forward to seeing what you create!
