We redid the categories this year to match more classically accepted magic categories. These categories are more useful in our opinion. We used to have P3 trick of the year, Download of the year, and Penguin partner trick of the year. That split the products into Penguin products, and non-penguin products. This year we were able to include many more non-penguin products by throwing them all in a group together. The download and category was a little funky as well because almost all of these products are downloads. Some have physical products included with them but you watch the videos as downloads.

Try switching your earbuds...duh

@@dickshanery7152 i don't have earbuds... i should go in the back of the monitor to listen correctly, but then I can't see it :D And I check the audio system is correct, it's just this video broken

same for me

Nick and Erik gave their Top 10 favorite products of the year in January. Some of those products are less popular than what you see here. But yes, this was a popularity contest. We chose the nominees based on sales. The way that works out is the most popular tricks ended up being nominated. We then had the community vote on the main Penguin page and the products they had the most votes went away with the awards. So yes, it was a popularity contest in a sense.

So price point really has a lot to do with it as well. I wonder if HOOK would have won had it been the hundred bucks I paid for it back in the day? (Hope Erik is profiting more with that price point but what a bummer for those of us who shelled out that big dough). Smilesotheylikeyou

Did you get a chance to vote? What were your favorites?

Supersucker was definitely the winner of its category. That trick is awesome on the pitch what a great way to fill time as the crowd builds! In the words of Cellini, “Stop a child stop the world” Smilesotheylikeyou
