TJAM 2001 2-Minute Contest

As many twisters make most of their twisting income from figures (and lasting impressions) they can make in 2 minutes or less, this event showcased the real-world abilities of the contestants. Audience members were asked to evaluate 44 contestants in two classes, each with 7 categories. Winners received a $50 prize certificate from T. Myers Magic, Inc. and a gift from Pioneer Balloon Company.
