Save Gambit!



Hey guys, Huron here, and it’s great to see that you’re in.

To start things off, we are going to post Gambit back up. It’ll be up on Vimeo in a few hours, but before we do that, here’s what you need to know.

For as long as we remember, we’ve been thinking of a way to spread and share the art with the rest of the world in a way that anybody can instantly relate to and appreciate.

For us, Gambit is the answer.

To us, the video represents everything we’ve ever tried to convey as card flourishers… which is character, style, technique, and presentation… plus it really sucks to see that something that we put so much effort into just get taken down in a matter of three hours.

It feels like one of the best ideas we ever had for the art just got shot down from the sky the second it took flight.

We really want to spread the art and share it with the rest of the world… but we can’t do that alone. We need your help.

This is the plan.

In a few hours we’ll be posting the video on Vimeo, then we’ll be making a post on it at Digg.com.

For those of you who don’t know what Digg is… it’s a kickass site which has posts of the latest awesome things happening around the world.

The craziest part?

Digg gets an average of 27.9 million visitors globally per month.

That’s 930,000 visitors a day.

You can probably see what we’re getting at.

Posts get on the front page if they get enough votes. These votes are called “diggs’.

Our goal, is to get Gambit a few hundred diggs really quickly so the world will take notice of our art…at least before Marvel takes our video back down.

Here’s how to be a part of this.

  1. Get an account on digg. It only takes you about a minute, plus you’ll love the site.
  2. Refresh this page and click the orange ‘digg’ sign at the top of the post when the countdown timer hits zero.

And that’s it!

Stuff comes and goes on digg very very quickly, and that’s why we need to get our diggs in within a very short period of time if we want the world to know about our art… fast. ;)

Here’s a worldclock converter so you know what time that is in your part of the globe if you’d like to be a part of this project.

The time to Digg the video is Tuesday, 23rd June, 11am PST (Click here for World Clock Converter), or of course, you can always refer to the countdown at the top.

Once again… we’re really excited that you’re in on this with us. Thanks for reading, and let’s spread our art and get this video out there, together.

I’ll see you soon.

Huron Low, The Virts

P.S. We’ll send you an email with the Vimeo link the second the video’s up!

      You mean you do everything with actors and camera tricks instead of actual illusions? I certainly hope you are referring to the actual tricks he USED to do, and not the rubbish that is coming out of his show today. He’s such a good illusionist, but I despise the way his stuff has gone now.
