The Best Illusion of the Year Contest is a celebration of the ingenuity and

around the world have submitted novel illusions (unpublished, or published
no earlier than 2009), and an international panel of judges has narrowed
them to the TOP TEN. At the Contest Gala in the Naples Philharmonic Center
for the Arts, the top ten illusionists will present their creations and the
attendees of the event (that means YOU!) will vote to pick the TOP THREE
WINNERS! The Amaz!ng Randi, the renowned magician, escapologist, and
skeptic, will give a presentation/magic performance during the vote
counting.
