Hey! I’m back to share my one of interested hobbies, magic. Recently, I get into magic because the Magic club of Xiamen University Malaysia(XMUM). Last year, our club of honor that we invited a Singapore magician, Avi Yap. My mind blew in the magic performances, a lot illusion effects confusing your mind. After that, I am curious to know how he perform the trick and I attended Avi Yap’s lecture organised by the Out of The Box.

In the magic lecture, I am so surprised that magic is not only the classic stage magic could work, close up magic is something miracle that you don’t believe it after you have check the tools of the magician used. Fortunately, Avi Yap taught multiple tricks in that lecture but for me is a bit difficult to catch up. And I found out that gimmicks is super expensive. Most of the gimmicks can cost you 50$ USD above(RM250++). So what I prefer to beginner magician is buy magic books to learn magic tricks instead of buy gimmicks for one or two tricks only.

After attended to the lecture class, I realized magic is not simple, you have know multiple field of knowledge in order to conduct your magic performance well. Audience control, misdirection, psychologically thinking by audience, those are the elements that a success magic should know, is not only you know the trick, you can perform it. By the way, I am still a beginner of this magic field and I hope I get more friends to share magic knowledge. Lastly, I hope you enjoy about my magic experiences.
