Magic Ring Performance

In one word: An awesome experience and jam session.Andrew and I arrived Pudu like 10.30am. (the earliest there... and we got front seats together with the VIPs... )Had our breakfast there. Thanks Vincent for the meal The Swedish magician (Erik Nordvall) arrived at around 11.15am (abt there). hehe.. lol... he was hungry, so Andrew, Vic and I joined him again for breakfast. hehe... Had a great time chatting to him abt his magic, his mentor, his lifestyle. Wow... 22 yrs old and travelling the world awesome.

Below is a pic with Andrew outside the hall with Erik Nordvall poster.

At Club De Swan, I got to meet a lot of magicians.

Swedish Magician Erik Nordval - lecture
1pm.... the lecture starts. Awesome expression and showmanship. haha... i became his volunteer (specatator) for the first half of the show. V good misdirection and lol.... he makes me laugh (his funny expression). Performed quite a number of killer card tricks. Some I already know eg. biddle across trick but its not abt the tricks.. its abt presentation.Beside that trick the rest were v awesome. His Twisitng Travellers is one of my favourites, so it the MOP (mentalism kinda effect).Refreshments was served after the lecture... (yummy sandwiches and Jelly or agar agar!!)He has one of the best culling speed I have ever seen.

After Erik's performance and lecture, there were other performers that performed as well... such as Josh (MR), Allan (MR), Vinod (MC) and also a magician all the way from CHINA doing his mask changing effect! (wow!!! amazing he must have changed masks like 20 over times) crazy! V nice costume and the mask change is faster than a blink of an eye. So fast.... (if u think Mcbride is good... see you should have seen this)

Erik Nordvall was v nice and v humor as well. He continued to jam with a few of us even after the lecture. His card tricks blew me away. I tell this guy is not so much abt sleights... he is just wow.... natural is the word and amazing how he can know the card im thinking off! There were quite a few of us that bought his lecture notes and got them signed by the man himself.

Here's a pic of me and Erik Nordvall

Here's the signed lecture notes I bought

We jam till abt 4.30pm at Club de swan and then went to Times Square Starbucks. His last trick he showed us there flattened all of us! I mean really flat flat flat! He used two decks.... two specs... both spec riffle shuffled the cards kept half the card in the box and keep in their pocket, the used the other half and spread on the table... asked spec to point to one. Jogged that card, and then one by one he reveal that one the cards from the red deck and blue deck dont match. Only the one he injog (blue deck) matches the one card of the same position of the red! wow.. i know u read this u may be a bit confused... i am confused.. so many hard impact routines in this trick.. i cant beleive! and then dunno wat he do.. all the cards matches... the order of the red deck matches the order of the blue deck! And if that is not suprising enough, the cards that were all the while in the specs pocket (which was in the beginnign riffled suffled by both specs) were taken out and then bam.... the order are the same! Every one was like "WT* *%#%@5@5@%@#4.... then silent... then "wat???$^$%#$#@&%#" again..its like WOW! Amazing, we cant beleive wat we see LOL. Ive seen and effect similar to this b4 but this is so much more impactful! its unbeleiavable.

A pic of us that went to Starbucks

We jam till abt 6pm then we left Starbucks... outside Starbucks... he showed me his muscle pass! wow!From half dollar, to 50 cents to 20 cents... his muscle pass is v good.. jumps up vertically, unlike some others i've seen. Hehe... he also performed a coin trick and hehe lol... blew Andrew away... lol with his misdirection.... lol Im so glad I went. It is not only my getting to meet the Swedish magician and trying to learn more magic, having a few MMFers and jamming with him after was just awesome! It is a v good experience for me. I see and learn how much presentation can do so much in one's performance. I'll leave this thread open for others to give their comments! Thanks to MR (Vincent and gang) for AGAIN organising such a wonderful event for us! Kudos to you guys!Yes.... highly recommned that u get his lecture notes. Get it from the man himself and get it signed. hehe lol. Killer stuff.

All in all a wonderful day!
