i totally agree. its very odd, ambiguous criteria that they are using.. the actual contest of the show i find very poorly structured. the parts i enjoy of the show are the high quality magic, P&T, and ross aint bad. Wish the contest had more merit though.
I'm not getting the hate for 'ambiguous criteria'. So what? The obvious intent is to provide an avenue for innovative and entertaining tricks. Sure they are a bit inconsistent, meh.
Provide to many strict rules and people will angleshoot. I don't care that the cd guy may have actually fooled P&T when I could come up with at least 5 different ways of doing the trick without training, but also don't think that the card guy from the first ep actually fooled them either.
