The Zig Zag

Well, I just got myself a Zig Zag and launched it at Square2. It was an open Magic competition and I was a guest performer there. Well, had two shows on that day. Super shagged. Still was very enriched.

Some Pics for memories

I've got this random habit of googling my name just to see if anyone posted any pics of my performances up on the net. Sometimes, it lands me on the same pages. Other times, like today, I find somethin nice. So here they are... For memories. Pics of my new cardboard illusion and the show I did at the Chevrons!

Two shows down, many more to go

I've been Piss busy recently. Handling bookings, production, live shows, directing magic and rehearsals is really tough. I'm feeling super Shagged. Still, in more ways than one, I enjoy being busy. Boy do I need a holiday! hahaha. Did two shows recently, One for Nippon Metal, DnD which I hosted and performed my magic. Show was interesting. It was a family crowd yet I still managed to get them off their seats and kept them entertained. The most rewarding thing any performer like myself can get is seeing your audience happy and enjoying themselves to the fullest. Client was happy and that adds more value to my cheque. Today, did a show for courts and it is by far, the most Challenging situation i've been put in. Why? Stage was really small... no dressing room so I had to end up changing and setting up the show in the carpark. Heng there was free parking! hahaha. People were walking everywhere and being a performer, you need the attention on you. Thus, it was a FANTASTIC opportunity to practice my crowd pulling. The sound system could have been better, Yet, I feel, the crowd did enjoy the show to a good extent. Well, thats the life of performers here... let alone around the world.

I've got bookings so far all the way till Jan 23rd. Thats a good sign. Magic and performing is my main source of income now. Hope things go well. Till the next show,

one hectic life.

Life has been really hectic for me. I've finally ORD frm the service and now that I'm suppose to go full swing in my magic
I've found myself in a production house working as an assistant producer. Well, it sounds glamorous but its far frm that. Tough job I must say.
Non stop producing a drama for tv, staring in a small role in it and juggling my magic business is more that what I thought
I could handle. There's hardly a rest day and even when there's no shoot,I'm out running errands for my own business. My body is worn out, my spirit is low and
I'm still not getting enough sleep.


What else is new in life? Well, I'm still yet to register my company. Realised I need a singpass for that. Something I've to wait another 4 days for.
It seems like I'm taking to someone new in my life...don't wanna jump to any conclusions but I'm rather confident of my feelings. Sad thing is, she's just so far away.
Still, she makes me feel calm and her voice is a lullaby that puts me to sleep. Not that she's boring or something... Just, it has this special soothing effect on me. Oh wells, one can
Never be too sure. Somehow, I feel things would be right if she's in my life. That's the new magic of my life.

Anyways, just got a Blackberry, blogging usin it in Pasir ris park(shooting going on).
Turned 21 too. Been working on a few videos. Will upload em on youtube soon.

Till next time,

Been away

I've been off the blog for a really Really long time. I guess there's nothing much for me to blog about. Well, Yesterday, Halloween, I had three shows. All the same... nothing has changed yet. But I must say, i feel I'm getting better with every show. Entertainment has become pretty much a science for me. *winks

Well, I've been sufferin from insomnia recently and i've no idea why... so while I was forcing myself to go sleep, I played with some videos. Here they are... Enjoy it!!






PS: there's loads more on the youtube page. Go check it out!

Bedok

So, did a show at Bedok today... To be VERY frank, nothing's new... nothing's changed. Ahahah... So its the same standard show again. Well... I'm stuffed with McDonald's now... and I've 2 shows to go...

Till tomorrow

Mystic Mania and Clementi Town

I love this pic
And I dun rememeber jumping like that!






The Top three winners!!


Well, here are some recent updates about my performing career... Business has been real slow and I'm really hoping things would pick up eventually. Well, I hit yet another milestone in my business and for the first time, I was invited to be a judge on a national level Semi-professional competition called Mystic Mania. It was indeed an honor to judge 10 fine magicians and I'm happy the most deserving contestant won. Some acts were good... some, looked under rehearsed. But all of them had a good concept of putting a magic act together... Kudos to that. I hope they develop their acts further and strive to be better magicians. One thing I must add though, Guys... bear this in mind if ur reading this, all the magic acts were pretty much the same... (except for Jazz). Cards, Candles, parasols, blendo silks and balls. The same tricks done 8 different way to 8 different styles of music. The Doves especially... bad. Sorry pple... but I've been doing doves since I was 14... and I've practiced ALOT to hone my skills... problem with the acts, I felt was... everyone jus wanted to show off the fact that they had doves to begin with. There was hardly any love shown (besides Markson) and flow to the dove productions... The steals were choppy as well... One performer seemed to have Attempted to color his dove noly to leave it in BLue polka dots.... that's not nice... for the animal... and for the eyes of the audience. If u want to color ur doves, do it well... if not, don't do it at all. Other than that... The acts were fine.

Did a show for Clementi Town Sec. about 2 days back. Its honestly my first Secondary school show as a performing magician and surprisingly, I managed to live up to my own expectations, being Livewire with the crowd. It just so rewarding to see and hear teenagers screaming at the top of their voices and having fun! Its pretty much the same show as usual, but I added a few more comedy bits to the sword thru neck routine. Well... thats all I have for now.

Till Next time,
Kyle Ravin

Off to look for another Cockatiel now!
