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. 

Virtual Magic Workshop for Google!

In December last year, I had the privilege to perform for my biggest client yet - Google. As part of their virtual year-end celebration, I was to perform magic as well as teach them all a trick. 

It was such a fun show as the Google staff interacted with me throughout my performance. After the performance segment, we went straight into the workshopping, where I thought them a simple trick with a pen and a coin. 

The Google staff then went into break-out rooms to practice the moves and come up with their own presentations for the trick. Upon re-entering the main room, we got some of the participants to perform the trick to the rest of us and I gave feedback to them. However, I only had positive things to say as they demonstrated the trick in such entertaining and creative ways!

I believe that Magic can teach one the value of authenticity because every trick that you learn can be presented in your own unique style and you can mix up the various sleight-of-hand moves to create your own tricks. 

It was truly a great pleasure to see the program run successfully and receiving the good feedback afterwards.

Kai Emmanuel has been performing Magic ever since he was a young boy. He brings his passion and finesse to every show. With the incorporation of story-telling techniques combined with compelling pieces of magic, your guests will be left utterly astonished.

Why Magic Workshops?

If you are looking for a new and interesting way to engage your team, then our Magic Workshops are a perfect fit for you. 

Our workshops are geared for team-building and application. They can be conducted safely in-person or virtually to suit your needs. 

In a recent workshop conducted for the volunteers at Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital, the instructors, Kai Emmanuel and Kenneth Kho received praise for their smooth training. 

The volunteers were taught several tricks with an emphasis on the presentational and interpersonal aspects of performance art. 

They were then placed into break out rooms. This enabled the instructors to provide individual feedback. 

We believe that Magic can be a powerful tool to break barriers especially in a time like this. Moreover, it is not a skill that can be easily picked up on your own (trust us, we’ve been there).
