Contestants have up to ten minutes to perform stage magic. Performers may communicate through gesture, movement, or pantomime. Performers shall not speak, use narration (either recorded or spoken by another individual), or communicate through writing during their performance. Any speech or other attempt to use verbal language (narration or writing) during a performance shall disqualify that contestant.
