Great performances by great magicians from all over the world, gathered on one stage to bring their greatest illusions to wow the crowd at the Kallang Theatre!
No, I didn't take that out of the brochure.
Thanks to Cami for keeping me company; but I think it was mutual... hahaha... and for laughing at my jokes... no matter how dumb and silly and cranky it was, especially the ones that were let out past midnight when the brain doesn't work and the tongue loses self control... *think Jar-Jar Binks, that creature from the Star Wars prequel, if it were even considered Star Wars... I call it the half-legitimate, mutant child of George Lucas born 20 years late... (no, not Jar-Jar... the prequels...)
Got some pretty good insights about magic though... that having a bunch of tricks doesn't make it magic, it's how you present it in your own way, with your story and personality that makes it magic... :) knowing that there's a lot of theatrics involved, helped me overcome my disdain for magic somewhat. I never really liked magic cos I always thought, "ok, so, you can make the card disappear and read my mind on which card I chose, but... so what?"
OR "so you can pass through the Great Wall of China and... then...?"
it doesn't quite make sense to me cos there's no story... I'm not impressed...
But looking at the dedication and the passion and the psyche behind each master's performance really changed my mind about magic. I only have one conclusion to make. Good magicians are really smart and they really take their time to play with ideas and concepts and scripts in their minds to make a trick work, and not just work, it becomes a performance, an art.
That's the cool part...
