TWO MINUTE CONTEST
Click here for photos
As many twisters make most of their twisting income from figures (and
lasting impressions) they can make in 2 minutes or less, this event showcased
the real-world abilities of the contestants. Audience members were asked
to evaluate 44 contestants in two classes, each with 7 categories. Winners
received a $50 prize certificate from T. Myers Magic, Inc. and a gift from
Pioneer Balloon Company. |
