Magicians Are Not Greedy, Only The Audiences

Category : Featured, Magic

The first video after 2 months of hiatus!! This is the Episode 7, ‘Don’t Be Greedy’. It makes sense to all of us and as a reminder, not to be greedy – no matter what it is. You can now watch me on video, how do I look/sound like when I just woke up..

Great! Thank you! Guess what – I did this money illusion about 5 years ago and lost it somewhere. 5 years LATER, my mom was searching for some old bags in the store, and she found this wonderful piece of magic inside my pouch!! Haha! Thanks mom! You’re wonderful! Love you!! All moms are great at something.. you know what I meant right? :D

I make my own money!! I don't print them

At least now I’ve answered a common question from many people, I make money my own money! But being greedy will bring harm to ourselves. Now, how have you guys been? I want to meet up with you guys again, especially fellow bloggers I met before. Tomorrow, I will be meeting up with a  famous blogger from Malaysia. Unable to tell you who is it, but you will know soon. Gonna bring my camera to make some videos there….. magic videos.

To Chinese people who are celebrating the 7th month thingy, please lower down your speakers volume. 12am with loud noises from the stage, speakers means pollution!!! ):

To all my Muslim friends, Happy Ramadhan 2010!! And enjoy yourself when you break your fast. (:

See you soon, on the street.

Thank you so much everyone!! Thank you. Love all of you!

With Love,
AL

PS:   I brushed my teeth before I made that video above.

Define Levitation, AL MAGIC – Episode 6

25

Category : Featured, Magic

It’s Wednesday!! The never seen before (of course you never did) AL MAGIC – Episode 6, is finally here for everyone!! I love my job.. do you? =) Enjoy

I found that Levitation Magic very intriguing as everyone will try to find or create their own theories to answer the mysterious question, how did I do it?! Magic?! Trust me, your theories are not accurate. I DID NOT use any hidden gimmicks, NO magnets and definitely it was NOT a camera trick. The answer is, illusion – magic. At least I’m not a religious devotee in any form.

Once again, I do not possess any supernatural powers or that I’m psychic. I was uploading the video (340MB) at first attempt. It was taking me 2 hours and 40 minutes to complete but the connection FAILED at 2 hours. So I made another file format, which was only 12MB, less than 3 minutes to be uploaded. Quality is good! =)

Focus, Concentration - very important to make it works

It was stalled, suspended in mid air

It wasn't static nor sticky glue

YES! Banknote RM10! I didn't have 50 or 100 at that time..

50 cent was my finale

That’s all!! You have to stay tuned for the next video, Episode 7! The plan has been drafted but location of filming not confirmed yet. Wish I could do it outside of this neighborhood. Tomorrow, I’ll be going to E@Curve, for the NuffnangPrince of Persia, The Sands of Time movie screening. See you there.. and don’t worry, I will not make your girlfriend disappear like I did to Marcus.. uh…never mind

Flew Away,
AL

P.S:    Want to see me perform magic tomorrow at E@Curve? Catch me Alive =D

Watch It While It Is Still Fresh – AL MAGIC Episode 5

30

Category : Featured, Lecture, Magic

Yo! Sorry for the delay. Here’s the all new episode 5 of AL Magic series! The following magic performance is a special episode from myself, personally to support the effort of protecting our Mother Earth (Gaia)! All materials used in this video were all recycled after performance.. except the performer!

I really appreciate everyone’s concern over our environment. A little bit of effort means a lot to our next generation, our children of tomorrow and our Future.. (trust 2012). Recycle! Please recycle! To magicians and magic enthusiasts, if you want to be a professional, invent and create your own magic with the tools you have at home, it’ll be your only customize magic prop and it’s cheap to make! It’s fun!!

3 Unusual sightings in the video;

  1. My family and I don’t own any Perodua Kenari
  2. I actually signed my name on the paper without knowing why..
  3. Did you see the girl (student) walk by? Haha!!

You know.. it wasn't really outdated issue.. it was MAY issue!!!

How many copies of this type, printed material you can find at home?

If you could recycle the monthly newsletters and papers at home, you can earn more than RM50!!

Start to make a change. Make that change.

Recycle and save our lovely home planet, this is our chance to prove ourselves being part of this family.. make it right before it’s too late..

Recycled Performer,
AL

P.S:   Met Kenwooi last night at PJLA, Jaya One. It was great! Nice to meet you! =D

Magic Episode 4!! New Place, New Impossible Effect

40

Category : Featured, Magic

I thought of performing for my fans, friends and fellow bloggers on my site as to kill time. It has been an addiction and I like it!! If you’re first time here, this is my 4th video, 5th week since my demo was released.


Watch it over and over to spot the green apple.

Many people visit my site on Wednesday. Pretty obvious that I only upload new magic videos on Wednesday. This is the first time I ever perform magic with mosquitoes around, that’s why I didn’t roll up my sleeves though I did at first try. I hope everyone enjoyed the video as much as I do. =) Make sure you drop some comments on how I can improve my videos production to your preferences. Thanks! All for you.

If you would like to receive updates from my blog, you may subscribe via the subscription corner below my cbox on the right sidebar, or follow me on my Twitter account here. I’ve create a page of my own biography located just next to the subscription corner for you to know more about AL (me).

Screenshot from the video

Testing shot at the location

Been 5 weeks long, next week will be my 5th episode!

Alright, please comment and let me know what you think about it. I didn’t have a cameraman that time, if only someone can focus the apple for me from the camera.. sigh. Anyway, thanks!!

Bitten Out,
AL

P.S:   I spent almost an hour to do this by myself..

Here; The AL Magic – Episode 3

15

Category : Featured, Magic

I made this video as short as possible, 1 minute and 18 seconds in length. Tell you more after the show. Enjoy! =)

I know the video is short. But it has to be short! The previous one was 619MB and took me more than 4 hours to upload a good quality video. Anyway, we (John and I) have tried with many different coins but only the 1 cent (penny) looked better with the glass.

A number of friends asked why did I not use the glass coffee table. Well, it will look like any ‘magic table‘, which most people would mistaken it that way. I would rather use the items which I can find at home to construct a similar ‘glass table’ to perform the magic.

Constructing the glass 'table'

The 50 cents coin which I had earlier..

Coin penetrated through the solid glass!

This is one of my favorite piece of magic which I rarely perform. I lost the manuscript in my store room since years ago. Haha! With my determination to present entertaining magic to you, I also found my running shoes there!! No more reason why I should not run! That’s all.. I have to relax a bit before my next video.

By the way, thanks John!

Awesome Magic Filming At Hometown (besides traffic jam)

Category : DailyUpdates, Magic

Yo! Awesome filming on Sunday. Tested twice, then got it all DONE! It was quicker than I thought. An hour of loitering at my hometown. Here;

Just arrived at the house.

Got into the car after filming session. Haha!

It was all good.. until I decided to stop by at Leisure Mall to check out any sales or stuff that I’ve been looking for. When I walked pass Starbucks, unfamiliar couple (UC) came to me and asked;

UC : Hey! Are you Aaron Liong..?
AL : Uh….. eh.. NO?
UC : No no.. I see your magic in internet. You are Aaron!!
AL : *Haha! I’m Adrian Leong, nice to meet you. *smile.
UC : Oh sorry!! Yes yes! Adrian Leong! I am K and she is J. You stay around here? Can do magic now??
AL : I managed to stop by here by chance.. uh.. sure! It’s my pleasure. *smile

And so I performed 2 tricks for the couple and ended with a napkin flower for the lady (I hope he won’t jealous). Hehe! EPIC!!!! Seriously??? I meant, people just bumped into me and asked me to perform magic for them. Haha!! Sorry, I forgotten your name if you’re reading this. Terrible of me. Hope to see you again =D

Sigh, didn’t take any photos or videos. Otherwise everyone can see their reaction – BOOM!! Just like that..

Video done, now left editing only. Will upload it on Wednesday. BE PATIENT!! Especially you.. FoongPC. Haha! Thanks for being such nice friend and supporting my performances. =D

I promised Alan to post this photo.. woot!


My Plans For Episode 3 Of Magic Video Series

8

Category : DailyUpdates, Magic, SneakPeek

My family used to educate me, ‘must have savings, don’t over spend your money, keep your money safe with you‘. But they never once tell me, ‘DON’T PLAY WITH MONEY‘. In my next episode.. I will play with money and create illusions with it. Thought of recording it at my hometown instead of the usual white wall in the ‘studio’. It means a lot for me to perform there.

I cannot post banknotes for the obvious reason..

Genuine money cannot be altered in any way to produce illusions. Otherwise, it would be illegal. So I will make use of these restrictions to create magical illusions for you, my fans and readers. =)

Currently the magic videos I produced have been viewed by many people across the globe – MORE THAN 13 countries and still counting! Are you one of them? This goes on and gave me an idea of hosting a small gathering for everyone to join in. Still looking forward to me marketing department report.

Anyway, for those of you who are working; HAPPY LABOuR DAY!!

Nothing is better than stress free from working hours and nagging bosses. Hehe! Enjoy your weekends!

Category : Featured, Magic

Surprise! The magic video is uploaded!! No more ‘scary music‘, girls can now watch the video and be amazed without heart attack or check who’s lurking behind you. No more delay – presenting you, Episode 2;

I’m amazed with my own performance too!!! This was one of the acts which I’ve wanted to perform. Glad that I managed to perform for everyone here. The music was provided by my friend, djstoneage. You will get to know more about him and his music through my upcoming videos.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone again for supporting me and pushing me to make more magic videos. Without you guys, I won’t be doing this to entertain you. It has always been your great effort, that entertained me. I love to create happiness and stunning surprise, so everyone could have a pleasant time. =)

Hope you enjoyed my new video. That was the first time I performed that (in recording too).

There Are Things That WE (Magicians) Cannot DO

4

Category : DailyUpdates, Magic, SneakPeek

I don’t blame any if any of you think that magicians are psychics or possess wizardry/witchcraft supernatural powers to perform magnificent show. As a magician myself, it’s all about entertainment.. it’s to entertain the audiences. Of course, there are people who would USE magic, and claim that they are from another planet to save our human race from extinction.

To convince you, they would turn tap water to beer for your Happy Hour, turn pens to cigarettes for you to get high, bend fork and spoon with their mind (uh..) – all sort of things you can witness. But, those were tricks that we magicians know.. our top traded secrets.

Nobody can ever EVER change/stop the time.. literally! Yes! If we could stop the time and still move, we shouldn’t grow old for some reason. Anyway, my point is – I can’t upload the video to YouTube and post it up here by tonight!!!! If only I can change/stop the time like Harry Potter or Heroes.

I’m very impatient too. For the YouTube being so slow to process my video upload to 100%. Wish that I have other alternatives. Not to mention but our local internet connection is really terrible. Correct me if I’m wrong. Here’s the screen shot of the video which you will watch later =)

You will not want to miss this moment..

Come back to check my next video status or follow my twitter updates for more information. You will be amazed by what I did to that poor lil card I had in my hands..

First Magic Video AFTER Demo Release – Episode 1

21

Category : Featured, Magic

Yes! The previous video was a demo made by myself, as testing ‘unit’, much stated in the previous post. This video right here was made in a few days time I spent at home. Hope you will enjoy the show and drop me a comment right after, okay? Oh – I’ve removed the 32 minutes of bloopers (laughed at myself during shooting) from it. Enjoy! – Psychokinesis

While you were enjoying the video above, I was hiding the bent,twisted fork and spoon that I used in the video. I hope no one finds it wrapped in a red color plastic bag which I kept inside the shoe box that I’ve placed next to my computer table. If my family found it, I’ll be so dead!!

I’ve cut my hair last week! Felt so much lighter and maybe can do slam dunk if I get to play basketball before my hair gets long again. Here;

So much better than last time right?

Recently – djstoneage have agreed to work with me in the production team to provide better performances and videos. You will like djstoneage’s work when you visit his site here. The problem is, he will only be back in July 2010 – “for good..” he said that. Not only a professional DJ but aa very good magician too!

Still recruiting people into my production team. Interested – drop an email at admin@adrianleong.com

Till when will the next episode to be released? – Secret
