Some months back, there was an open call for young magicians to feature their magic on an internet TV show titled M for Magic. I contacted my friend JC, who was producing the series and got into the show. M for Magic was basically a collaboration between Sinema Media, Concept Magic and Fly Entertainment. Each magician was given approx. 6min of air time and partnered up with a Fly Entertainment Artiste. VERY co-incidentally, I was paired with Benjamin Heng, who stared in a series titled Anything Goes, which I designed some magic for.
Working with JC, Sinema Media and Benjamin Heng was a pleasure. JC, who has tv experience as well, helped ensure the shoot went smoothly. I presented a few pet effects, a thread from eye, glass eating, razor blades from mouth and some misc. card effects. I also came up with a 'street' lightbulb production which sadly, was probably omitted from the show due to air time. Basically, a bottle of bubble solution is shown and a bubble is blown barehanded (without the wand). The bubble is held in the open palm and the base of a lighbulb screws into it, transforming the bubble into glass. Well, it didnt go on... but I'm sure I can perform it again soon.
The show also had some perks for us magicians. We got on various media platforms, from the radio to the news. I managed to perform some magic for the MUTTONS from 98.7FM! Check out the video!
Till Next time,
