Convention update-card trick

There are cards at each seat in Texas delegation. We are in the bleachers. We are to hold up cards when told to. There is a video on how to this trick. We are not to hold cards above our heads.

Anyone want to predict how mant delegates fail to follow instructions?

This trick will take place before the balloon drop

My best guess is that it would have formed Hillary's H/Arrow logo (if it had worked).

I wonder if delegates couldn't follow instructions... or if they didn't care enough to participate... or if there were some who refused to participate with the intent of making it fail.

We'll probably never know the answer.

Once Hillary finished her speech it looked like a lot of people just wanted to stand and cheer.

in white over a blue-green background. (I was watching C-Span.) I couldn't make out what the bottom part in red and white was supposed to be.
