NTU WKWSCI Students Learn Magic!

This month, we conducted another magic workshop for Nanyang Technological University, this time for the students at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information. As part of their Communications week, they wanted to allow students to encounter unique opportunities beyond the school curriculum.

The workshop was headed by Kai Emmanuel who taught the students tricks with common everyday items that they could use on their friends and even social media. It was heartening to see them perform the tricks on their other friends right after the workshop. 

With the school’s support, we were able to provide special props for the students, which they could keep with them. The enthusiasm of the WKWSCI students to master the tricks also made the whole programme a joyful learning experience. 

We believe that learning magic can be an empowering experience and a useful skill. For more information on our Magic Workshops and the different courses we offer, please visit magicworkshops.org to view our past experiences and teaching philosophies. 

Creating My Virtual Magic Show Act

Devasted. That was how I felt when I first found out there were not going to be live events anymore. Many plans were ruined and my goals had to be put on hold. But then it occurred to me, perhaps this situation would be a good opportunity for me to challenge myself and reach new audiences.

I have always wanted to create a magic show that is unique and features a variety of tricks. Thus, I took the time during Circuit Breaker to upgrade my skills and work on my brand-new show. My show went through many stages of trial and error throughout that period where I performed online multiple times every week with a new set of audience. 

I am really happy to say that my efforts paid off when I saw the reactions of my audiences. After engaging with my spectators, I realized that many people had become jaded from being stuck at home and were seeking various forms of entertainment. One event that I particularly enjoyed was when I performed for the Sambar Scouts Association because I was able to connect with many of the participants through the magic and Q&A session. 

“You are amazing!!! That was perfectly planned and orchestrated for our age group. Great interaction too!” - Ellen (Event Organizer)

As a magician, my aim is to connect with my audience and bring them into a world of fantasy within our reality. Virtual Magic Shows is one of the great innovations of 2020 because it enables the audience to engage in the magic from the comfort of their homes. 

Looking forward to bringing my magic to more online corporate events, it is also really fun and exciting when I get to customize my magic for your special event.

Virtual Magic Shows - How it all started

In our company, we have always believed that Magic has the ability to push beyond boundaries and bring people together.  

These are truly extraordinary times, the COVID19 situation has impacted entertainers like ourselves in so many ways. When the pandemic first started, we decided to take a step back and polish up our material. However, as the days went by, it became clear that we all had to adapt to this new reality.

Youthful and adventurous are two words that can be used to describe Edward Loke, this is reflected in his magic as well. After realizing that he could no longer perform physically, he swiftly ventured into performing magic online through Instagram Live. Edward then sought out many Instagram influencers whom he would perform magic for in the Instagram livestream. Their followers did not hold back in the chat function as they came online to enjoy a unique magic sensation with their favorite Instagram personalities.

Since then, Edward has started performing his virtual magic shows over Zoom and other online platforms to entertain audiences with his fresh style of magic.
