The company aims to boost interaction inside Communities. They hope competitions make members more active. Twitter thinks fun events keep people coming back. This test is happening now. Only a few select Communities are trying it. Twitter will watch how users react. They might change the feature based on feedback.
Anyone in a participating Community can join. Users upload short videos of their magic tricks. These videos appear in a special section. Community members then vote. The trick with the most votes wins. There are no big prizes yet. Winning mostly means showing off skill.
Twitter stated this is just a trial. They might stop the competitions later. They might also launch it for everyone. It depends on the test results. The goal is making Communities more lively. Twitter wants people chatting and sharing more often. Adding games is part of that plan. They are exploring different ideas. Magic contests are one option.
