I did some quick research for postcards and came up with these illusionists for the cards:

copperfield

buatier

houdini

copperfield

henning

Ok, all easy puzzles are solved now. Two of the clues we have from the first event are for hard puzzles, so we should theoretically be able to solve those now.

I noticed that the symbols in the skywriting match the top left corner of some of the puzzles

Seven Card Monte - 263

Hey its easier if you open a tab in IE for the game http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/shell_magic.aspx thats the URL. No popup windows to get lost lol

[SWAMMIE]

On the cloud messages.. it also looks like the fraction 4/32...

Hope that might help..

UPDATE:

Figured that out.. the SQUARES IN THE CLOUDS ARE A REFERENCE TO EACH PUZZLE!

Each puzzle has a square in the upper right hand corner, and the clue they give has the matching shape next to it for each puzzle......showing what puzzle that clue is for.. some have the same shape.. so I think they go together somehow..

hmmm, for seven card monte, has anyone looked up what that trick is? if what the trick is has anything to do with the puzzle, then we're trying to narrow the cards down to one card...

[morficus]

did anyone else notice that in the TALE OF 2 BROTHERS, the right side of the book has a little animation as if the pages could be turned when you mouse-over it?

Also, to the bottom left corner.. the 2 cards..

the diamond card does not have the number on it as it should.

could this have to do with BLACK=A RED=N?

zoom in view of the pictures have been added to the site

it's a little better, but still not great

How could we have missed that

I haven't seen this posted here yet, so I thought it might help.

The skywriting has boxes with lines in them that correspond to gold medallions in the top left corners of certain puzzles. These would be the corresponding clues for those puzzles. For "A Tale of Two Brothers", the clue is Black=A Red=N. I'm still working on the answer, which I think has only 5 letters in it. I've also got a list of the puzzles and their answers just for some quasi-helpful repetition.

EASY:

Rabbits foot=presto

X-Ray Cards=2:H 4:D 6:H A:S 5:C

Mind Reader=Mate

Posters=White (Disappearing items are: 3 roSes 1 Moon 3 shOes 5 clocKs 2 bElls 5 handCuffs 1 Owl 4 bugLes 2 dOves 3 Cards, extracting S-M-O-K-E C-O-L-O-R, color of smoke is white)

MEDIUM:

Gravity Lock=secrecy (code is 7451236)

Domino=Drawing a blank (dominoes are braille for "a blank")

STILL UNSOLVED:

Tale of Two Brothers

Magic Lesson

Headliner

Seven Card Monte

PostCards

Cups and Balls

I hope this helps.

Also, to the bottom left corner.. the 2 cards..

the diamond card does not have the number on it as it should.

Maybe there is more to it?

Wow, you're really behind. :)

The end of the story is Heart, Club, Diamond, Spade. Using the first skywriting clue, the answer should be "N A N A", but that doesn't work.

:wacko:

damn it.. I guess I am...

I just figured out that the story has 3 pages, not just one :p

Two brothers screens for those that are having a hard time turning the pages to the other two.

This is another substitution cipher. The first 13 letters are red cards a-m and the last 13 letters are black n-z.

just have to figure out the order (hopefully A-K) and what the cards would say if they could "TALK"

Liar

Caught

Just some ideas.
