Heya Everyone!
Wow, where did that year go?! Well, here we are and I think it's safe to say we're all excited to be here! So let's get started! Before we
ofcially get rolling, let me say that I am happy and honoured to host/moderate yet another year. I'm going through a big move for
Jan.01 (from a big city to a small one) so I won't be doing too much updating until that rst week in January. Luckily I can copy and
V.I.P. paste the rules from previous years and I trust everyone to take part, have fun, and make this awesome for all of us! Good luck!!

I'd also like to say that the Book of the Year thread usually gets the most "hate". I wish I could explain why, but every year there is some
sort of drama or negativity that I do my best to try and avoid. I'm a bit older now, though, and realize that I can't, no matter what I do, so
I'll just say that this thread is meant to be joyous, celebratory, and fun. That's it. If it offends you, if you don't agree, or if you just hate the
idea of it- I have no right to tell you those feelings aren't valid. I just ask that you leave those of us here that don't feel that way to carry
on our merry way. I hope we can agree that that's the best course for all of us.
Hiya Gang!
It's that time of year! Who will win The Tarbell for 2016?!

And, gang, I know rsthand how much of an impact this thread will have on someone's life. Seriously. The prestige from this little thread
will drive their sales through the roof. So please let's take this seriously, say nothing but nice things, and have fun! We're going to
change someone's life!
RULES:
_____________
If you follwed the Trick Of The Year thread last year, things got a little bit complicated. What started out as a fun thread between pals
several years ago has turned into a HUGE event and, you know what? That's a good thing! It shows that the art of magic is alive and well
and that we're all passionate about it!! I think next year we might end up going to some sort of panel judging but, for this last year, we'll
keep it to the old voting system one nal time and see how we do. That said, to help reduce drama (we can never eliminate it, I'm afraid)
let's try and keep to the following...
Vote with Book Title and the Writer Name. Please submit 3 Entries(if you're able).
If you have been selected and want to encourage your pals to take part...
You must have 50+ posts on the Magic Caf for your vote to count. If you're new, that gives you over 2 months to join in the community
and share in our passion.
It is impossible to police or enforce a "no asking your clients, friends, etc to vote" rule and, personally, I think it's silly to ask people not to
share their excitement. How can you have a contest if you're not allowed to talk about it?! On that note, I ask that you please...
I trust people (perhaps that's a fault, lol) but I also trust the voting public to choose what they truly feel is the best and not just what
soemone tells them to do.
Lastly, this is a thread for JOY. Let me be clear- HAPPINESS! Any post that is not a vote or is something positive, I will ask for it to be
deleted. There are other places on the Caf (Right or Worng) for political disussions. But they won't be here.
Sweet Marie- wish me luck (I mean for moderating this thread), lol...

I feel slightly guilty with my nominations as I helped with all three books, but, that aside I have based my choices on the content of each
and in no particular order, they are............

I also came across a new book that looks promising..Practical Mental Effects or something.
I think it may have some longevity about it
Not one usable effect in the book of course...
