In 2019, Ring 76 started a new annual event, the ‘You Fooled Us’ competition. Two members serve as the judges while a third member acts as the master judge (final arbiter). Competing members try to fool the judges and win the coveted ‘You Fooled Us’ plaque.
I have no idea how the Board came up with this idea. I competed in 2020 but did not fool the judges. The 2021 event was cancelled due to the pandemic. The 2022 event was last night. We had five performers, all of whom did a great job. Two were successful at fooling the judges. I was thrilled to be one of them. I performed the Merlin Giant Puzzle of Life. Its method is different than, for instance, the Winston Freer puzzle. I was gambling the judges might know the smaller version but might be unfamiliar with the stage version. My bet paid off. The plaque I'm holding actually belongs to one of the night’s judges. He fooled a previous duo of judges back in 2019. My own plaque will be ready by the next meeting. Are any other Rings doing something similar? Mark
Doing tricks can be easy, being an entertainer is much harder.
