Well Friends, it`s the end of the contest. I`m a bit surprised and a bit sad not many of you participated....well, anyways Congrats to Pete for 1/2 winning the contest and he will receive the plus one magic works effect. (Pete,PM me your shipping info) anyways here are the answers

yes Juan Tamarez was the 1st one in WGM 1 with the car, and the 2nd one..which was a genuine tenyo as far as I know was WGM 3 with the "mystery magician" who`s clips were between acts and who I believe was Valentino? and the performance was Mr. Rabbit or sponge Rabbit.
