DAY 1

The convention starts. Me giving an opening speech, welcoming everyone new and old buddies of magic.

Lecture...

Samuel Chong.... FANTASTIC! Best close up magician and Lecturer I've met in real life. Damn cool.... I love his sense of humour in his act. It's never boring... Definitely is great at wat he does... definitely a PRO! I didnt get to remember how to do everything he taught us.... haha but I remember the last trick.. haha... which I love a LOT. practice that trick many times last nite as well as this morning.... The other trick I like a lot was his Winter S trick with signature transfering to another card. These are my top fav ones.... I wish there were handouts of the methods to do it though.. cos i seriously cant remember the sequence. Lots of v nice tricks Sam did.... v nice coin trick and man the balloon trick.. VVVV nice... and Samuel's ballooning skills... wow... super damn fast and super damn nice.... v symmetrical and damn nice la... speechless already...

Sam in action.... wonderful misdirection...
Nice ciggarette magic....

Anyway... it was good to meet new people in the fellowship. Somehow I wished we had more time for fellowship during the gathering.

U've heard how it was DURING the lecture/gathering....Now...What happened after the lecture....Well... a few such as Sze Howe, Chris, Sukyi, Isaac, Shon Chong, Nadz, Samuel Chong and Edmund stayed for dinner at MTR.We continued jamming until abt 9pm plus.... and then went clubbing (it took us a long while to reach that place though... lol). Isaac drank much that nite and he started performing to the group next to us..... they loved him so much... and soon... Chris, Myself, Nadz and Sze Howe also performed. I love Nadz coin routine so much. It makes me wanna learn it so badly now man... David Stone eh? Must check this dude out man. The coin to the spectator handphone one was just amazing... loved it... Had a nice time session with everyone that nite. haha... Nadz and I were like practicing our Jones change much that nite. I managed to perform the Samuel's Cannibal trick that nite to Sukyi's fren. It was good... Man... so many funny and hilarious moments that nite.... haha. Isaac walked funny when we left the club 3am +. Hmmm.. ROFL... at that time I was also "kong-ing" out d man.... damn tired...One whole day of Cards made me crazy... Slept abt 4am+ after showering....
