Hey guys,

We're test-driving a totally crazy new idea.

The background:

1. We want to encourage magicians to go out and perform for REAL people.
2. We want Penguin to be a great resource where magicians can see magic tricks from beginning to end.

Our crazy idea:

Film yourself performing a trick and get the trick for free.

What?!? Seriously?!?

Yes.

What are the rules?

Ok, so there are only a few rules, but we're still experimenting...

1. You must perform at least 30 days after ordering but less than 60. We want to encourage practicing too! and we don't want to wait 2 years to see your trick.

2. You must perform for real people - no crotch shot web-cam videos.

3. You have to be 16 years or older.

4. Your video can't reveal the method, and it must get a thumbs up from us at Penguin. While we don't expect you to be Lance Burton, it has to look good. We'll be reasonable, but we want to see great performance videos. It should definitely represent your best effort.

5. The product you perform can be up to $100 (on Penguin).

6. You must state your name and 'born to perform' somewhere in the video.

Other notes:

• It would be great if you chose tricks that don't have demos already, but feel free to perform any trick on the site!
• There is currently no limit on how many tricks each customer can perform and get for free. We may change that, so if you want to do this and get more than one trick for free it's a good idea to hurry.
• Yes, you really have to be 16 years or older in order to participate. Sorry young guys, but don't feel bad, you'll be old enough soon!
• We will publish your video on the Penguin Magic Youtube Channel (please subscribe) and feature it on the Penguin Magic homepage. If it's a great video we'll email all our customers about it and you'll get thousands of views. We're also planning a contest where the video that gets the most views in the first year will get a special prize.
• Our goal is to keep this program going forever. The best way to make sure the program is successful is for you to take advantage of the offer and submit a great video. Great performance videos are valuable to penguin because they inspire many other magicians to perform the effect.

So - that's it for now, but we do reserve the right to change the terms in order to keep this program going for a long time... it's gonna be pretty crazy to see what happens. We're very excited to see your video!
