[magicjeff]

Great guesses! A little hint.....no large stage illusions....

[PeterW]

Ah very good, the game is still a foot! Back to the drawering board!

[PeterW]

Ok this is a tough one! After further research I've updated my first answer to see if I might be closer! Surprised no one else has given this challenge a go.

[magicjeff]

Ok here is another hint...it was not a main act...

[PeterW]

Hmmmmmm!? Ok

[magicjeff]

well, one of them. You are in fact half right with Juan Tamariz with the Car, but there is one more....

[PeterW]

Ok updated once more!

Interesting question bud

[magicjeff]

Well Friends, it`s the end of the contest. I`m a bit surprised and a bit sad not many of you participated....well, anyways Congrats to Pete for 1/2 winning the contest and he will receive the plus one magic works effect. (Pete,PM me your shipping info) anyways here are the answers

yes Juan Tamarez was the 1st one in WGM 1 with the car, and the 2nd one..which was a genuine tenyo as far as I know was WGM 3 with the "mystery magician" who`s clips were between acts and who I believe was Valentino? and the performance was Mr. Rabbit or sponge Rabbit.

[PeterW]

Oh dang! That second one was tough! Mind you I did enjoyed researching my answers because it brought back great memories of that series! Many thanks for your kind offer of the effect!!!

[magicjeff]

No problem buddy! You deserve it. And yes I agree, those shows were my some of my biggest inspirations
