ROUND #9 - LIVE PERFORMANCE

OK fellas... this is it for the win! It's been many months of hard work and all comes down to this round. If Max wins this one, he takes it all! If he loses, they must battle again to declare the final winner. This round and the final #10 round if required will both be for a live performance!

Here are the rules:

Create a live performance routine. The routine can be any length you want but do not exceed 3 minutes. Must be performed live without cuts in film.

As far as what you can use, you can do anything you want, tables, multiple decks, elementals, aerials, doesn't matter, hybrid (be careful not to take away from XCM) is fine as well. What we are looking for is a great commercial routine for laymen featuring XCM, and we'll be looking to the audience and to laymen to decide which is the best routine. We will include a few laymen judges to help us with the final vote. It will be 75% XCM pro judges, and 25% laymen.

Remember that your performance is for regular people... so the super duper crazy moves may or may not be the way to go. Don't worry so much about the difficulty levels, and more so on the presentation and execution of a real performance for regular people. That is what we will be looking for. Of course it's nice to have some difficulty, creativity etc... in there, but again, focus on the performance. That is what it is all about in the end.

You can use music presentation or other. If you can set up a big audience, the more the better! If you can't, it doesn't matter, you will not be judged on how big your audience is, just your actual routine and performance.

This is for not just all the prizes, but the title of Superhandz World XCM Champion which will come with more perks than just prizes and the giant silver trophey as Fatz found out last year. This is as good as it gets in the XCM world, so give it everything you have and make it count!

You are already both winners and have proven yourselves the best by battling all the way to the top! You are the best up and coming artists on HL and without a doubt better versed and skilled in all aspects of XCM than anyone else on any other forum...

Both of you already get good prizes and you both already have gotten a ton of recognition and even getting published - so now the only question is who is getting crowned the king of XCM 2007?



Please remember your judging criteria
