A Memorable Magical experience

Last year I was asked to be a judge at a unique event produced by our partner, Fun Ranch. It was the ultimate gathering of some of the best magicians in the country--the KADABRA CUP, an Open Stage Magic Competition for aspiring and professional magicians. I found myself judging the event with Rowena Wendy Lei of Animetric (beside me, 2nd from left) and my super favorite, award-winning, THE absolute best close-up magician in my book, Jeffrey Tam (second from right).judgesOur events agency, Creative Juice was handling the logistics for this event but even if I knew what was in store for the evening, I would have to admit I did not expect such an entertaining, fascinating evening. Each magician came, not only with his own bag of tricks, but also a distinct personality. These were some of my favorites:orientalHe took on an Oriental character, from his costume, down to the props and musicsnakesWho would forget this sssssuper magical act?champion ferdie capitoThe Kadabra cup champion, Ferdie Capito. Im still wondering how he changedhis assistant's long gown several times, in a blink of an eye.There was even a special number by this super acrobatic couple, the Zion Show. They later on became uber famous when they joined the talent shows on tv.zionOur Creative Juice production team told me I had a big smile on my face the whole time, and at times, my mouth was agape while watching the show!
