We want to thank Magic Broadcasting’s own Magic Mike Giusti for submitting his most embarrassing magic moment for our contest. Honestly, if he can humble himself for the iTricks readership, what is stopping you guys?
Not to say we haven’t received some fantastic cringe worthy tales so far. I mean these stories (the sticky levitation and escalator shoe lace, we’re looking at you) are painfully hilarious. The kind of stuff that would make Larry David whisper “Now that is awkward” to Ricky Gervias.
Anyhow, if you are reading about this for the first time, we are putting 10 copies of Andrew Mayne’s brand new DVD Maynia up for grabs to the 10 best embarrassing magic stories. Directions on how to submit are after the jump.
Enjoy Mike’s story and remember to subscribe to the Magic Week in Review podcast on iTunes to hear some of the best submissions of the week.
The catch to this contest is the stories have to be told, not written. NO email will be counted. So how do you get your voice to iTricks? We’re glad you asked. There are three ways to do it:
1) Talk Directly To iTricks You can use our “Talk To Us” button on the ride sidebar of this very page. Just click and talk into your onboard microphone or anything else you have plugged into your computer. The clip will go directly to us and enter you automatically.
2) Send iTricks An Mp3 If you are used to recording your own stuff, just do you thing and upload it to a free file hosting site like DivShare.com. It’s a very easy process and will give you an option of emailing a link to your newly uploaded file right on the front page. Make sure that email goes to Show@iTricks.com.
3) Call iTricks We set up a dedicated Skype number so you can use your home telephone to record your tale. Just call (954) 603-7469 and spill the beans after the prompt.
No matter what, make sure you speak clearly, say your name and keep your story under a minute. Those 10 copies of Maynia aren’t going to win themselves.
