Win an "Outerbridge Lecture Bundle"

This contest is now closed.  The winner has been announced at "Winner of an "Outerbridge Lecture Bundle."

Updated on October 8th to add items in this prize package include:

• TIME OF DAY
• PURPLE CARD
• TP PREDICTION
• LECTURE NOTES
• The total retail value is $135 U.S.

Three contests in three weeks!  I'm starting to wish someone else was running the site so I could get a chance at winning some of these fabulous prizes!  (Between you and me, there's very good chance there will be another giveaway before the month is out.)

I had the pleasure of meeting Marion and Ted Outerbridge while they were volunteer instructing at Sorcerers Safari Magic and Performance Arts Camp this past summer.  They are fabulous people with a fantastic show!  (I'm not the only one who thinks so.  They received a standing ovation when they performed at this summer's IBM convention!)

They are generously providing, for your winning pleasure, an "Outerbridge Lecture Bundle" with a retail value of $135!  (Currently available on their site for $100).  From their site:

"Included are lecture notes and props for three of Outerbridge’s original, audience-tested routines that have been refined over 25 years in theatres, cruise ships, casinos, and television, as well as comedy clubs, schools and birthday parties."

If you're not familiar with their work, have a look at their Clockwork Mysteries Trailer video on YouTube:
