About the video contest winner:
Jack Webster:
After getting interested in magic at the age of 13 while watching Criss Angel on Oprah, Jack didn’t perform magic for a while. The first time he ever performed, he did the classic saltshaker through table at a restaurant with his mother and sister. They loved it, and he got hooked on the energy that performing magic had. Over the next year, he dedicated himself to performing small effects for friends and family, but didn’t really get that far with those until the day he discovered the world of online magic shops. He bought some magic online and started performing better effects, learnin gmore and more every day. Then about another year, he went to his first magic convention/lecture, where Jeff McBride was the top lecturer at the event. A workshop with Jeff changed his magic forever, and he began focusing on presentation. He continues focusing on his presentation, and now also on getting a job. He just turned 16 a couple months back, so now magic is in his career plans.
