Lots of unappealing noise here. The horizon crook is also a distraction.

It clearly meets the challenge, which for me starts it at 5.

However, this is a pretty dead-on take on some magic tricks. Nothing too dramatic about the layout or the lighting (which is flat). Try playing with lights next time to create some shadows or try a lower angle.

It's reasonably sharp and decently lit, though, so it's still a 5.

It fits the challenge, is clear and in focus, and lit well enough - 6.
To do better from here, it would need something else to somehow make it exciting (sorry, don't know how or what). As it is, it feels too static and dull, a bit like a photo for insurance or instruction purposes.

Nice idea with wide appeal (hopefully). You'll get fired from the Magic Circle for spilling the beans! 8.

I never really like centered photos of things on a solid background. Just doesn't get me excited. For what is here, the lighting in nice and focus is on. 4

Better known as exposure and I am not talking about the picture. "Those who know don't tell and those who tell don't know."
