MMF Gathering 21st Oct 06 at MTR

Im back safe and sound in Melaka. Thank God traffic was smooth flowing... left KL abt 4pm. Came back in time dinner and to watch the WTC movie 7.20pm show with my friends. haha.

OK here's my REVIEW.

Reach KL Sunway Piramid at 11.10am. Met up with Darren, Edwin and Isaac, and Chee there at McD. We showed each other some cool tricks, to warm up ourselves before the gathering at 1pm. Below is Darren and I doing some displays.

The gathering was definitely a fun one! I really enjoyed it man. Nice to meet up with Old members (Jeff Gan, Jackliw, Baalan, Kamil etc) and new members as well! . We had a time for performance too... and for those of you guys who went up to perform... well done man! Everyone did a great job there.

Some of the highlights were Jeremy's Mini Tennis balls fooled everyone. Lai's Rope tricks.... (outstanding presentation and expression), Darren's Card Revelations.... (superb), Sebastian's Stigmata, Charlston cigarette manipulation, Roy's coin accros, Forest coin trick, Jeuze coin, David Lai's wonderful mentalism card effect with names written on each card, Robins crazy mentalism and spoon bending, Edwin card tricks... etc etc.... sorry if miss anyone's name, for those who performed. Give yaselves a big pat on the back! Welldone to all!

I had great fun spending with new members Szehowe, Shon Chong, Alexander and Alvin. I spent a lot of time with them... flourish....haha like a lecture... I talk until mouth so thirsty... You guys have learnt something... im sure you have .And then magic.... where we went around taking turns to perform our effects! It was really cool to see everyone giving support and cheering each other when performing. hehe... shon's production of his lil handphone reminded me of Jay Chow's handphone commercial. Pretty cool work with the sleeves bro. Szehowe... haah this guy... really fun to jam with. Funny and full of excitement. Thanks for teaching me the Reset man. I've been practicing that trick the whole nite.. till 5am (haha ask Lai/Eric....). Below a pic of Sze Howe and I doing super combine one handed fans.

I also spent some time with Kamil and Eric for a while... showing each other some cool card tricks. I knock Kam out with a mentalism effect using cards and he replies me with a nice collector routine.... Bucks' rules eh . And haha... Eric..... he made Kam and I ROFL-ing non stop when he told us to "pick a number between 2-4." Haha.... that was really really funny man. Kam just cant stop laughing. ROFL!

It was also great to see and chat with the gals, Yukiko and Jennifer. Didnt get to chat or session much with Jenn (kinda went missing for some time), but it was really cool that Yukiko kept wanting to see me doing more flourishes. Glad you enjoyed watching . Do work on the sybil I taught you. U'll get there in no time . I see much passion in you for magic/cards. Keep it up!

I'll surely use and practice the effects you taught us .We went to Murni's for Dinner.... was.. v nice food there (my first time ahaha). Had a big jug of drink (with fruits inside)... so so massive.. and had the scramble...??? (got sausage in the roti wrap one). Super nice! Struggled to finish the drink though. We had some really cool time during dinner! Some nice discussion on presentation and sleights.
