 Being a professional magician the choice of trade was an easy one. I wanted to create a photograph that showed the "tools" in an impossible state.

For those that wondered how I created this shot, I not quite ready to let the cat out of the bag as I may be using some of the same techniques for the illusion challenge. After voting is completed on that challenge I will divulge my methods.

Thanks for all the comments, I will try and apply them to future challenges.

Great job on this one. I'm assuming I understand how you did it and will be interested to read your comments afterwords.

Great shot! The only thing I can see wrong (slightly) is that it's a bit hot on the upper left corner of the Ace. Other than that a beautiful and creative photo GOOD JOB! 9

edit: still can't get over how cool this picture is bumping up to 10!

good texture on the coin. Good framing. The card is a bit flat.

Good idea for the challenge and set-up nicely. My only complaint is that the lighting seems to be a tad harsh on the card...especially toward the top.

I like the balancing of the card on the chip/coin. i think it might look better with it on something plain. just my opinion 7
