I'll admit right away that my motivation in doing this task was purely promotional.
I decided to spread the word of SF0. And I decided there was no better place to do this than GenCon, a 4 day convention dedicated to gaming, filled with thousands of geeks who love games more than most.

In order to get the attention of said gamers, I decided I would place within their bags and pockets gifts that they might appreciate. Before heading to the con, I gathered a bunch of my old school magic the gathering cards, cards that are old enough to have value to most gamers though too used to actually sell.
I placed 24 of these cards in plastic sleeves and made 24 little SF0 promotional notes that I placed inside each sleeve.
The notes said things like:
"www.sf0.org A Game"
"www.sf0.org A friggen Awesome Game"
"www.sf0.org Play This Game"
"www.sf0.org A Game Unlike Any Other"


Each morning before I headed to the exhibition hall, a place filled with thousands and thousands of booths promoting games of all sorts, I filled my pocket with cards and proceeded to secretly place them in people's bags and pockets throughout the day.


This was actually a lot harder than I thought it would be. There was certainly no shortage of bags and no shortage of distractions to keep a person from noticing what I was doing, but there were so many people around that the hard part was put-pocketing without any of the other people around me noticing I was doing something devious to someone else's bag or pocket.
But after 4 days of seizing opportune moments, I managed to put-pocket 23 of my 24 cards. I even got two of them in backpockets of pants.

The hardest part was documenting. It is hard to do something sneaky with one hand and video it with the other. I took tons of video but only managed to actually document 3 of my put-pocketings. Which I think is fine. I'm not sure anyone would want to sit through shaky, lopsided, and upside down video of all 23 instances.


In closing, if you are reading this praxis because you found a Magic card in your bag or pocket telling you to come to this site, welcome! It truly is a fantastic game so you should stick around!
