1 Mission, 2 Months Of Drama, 3 New Concepts

Category : DailyUpdates, Featured

Yellow! How you guys been doing? I know it’s terrible of me to leave you guys for exactly 2 months long. I will never do that again. What has been done, is done. No point to start things over and over again. I had too much of drama so I got away with it by stop blogging for two months and enjoy my time with my friends. It wasn’t a great idea. Similar to – to have your fingers cut off and unable to dig your own nose. Something like that..

First of all, the contest to win a magic trick.. it was a TERRIBLE mistake. I should have got a 3rd party to do it for me instead. People chased after me and said it wasn’t a right thing to do. Then I decided to put up a FreeTRICKS whenever I want without any contest!

Secondly, despite many feedbacks from fellow magicians and readers, I will now put up my own personal reviews on the latest and old magic tricks, especially magic props to let my readers to have better understanding of the end product before they purchase it.

Last but not least, the videos are now back on the track!!! Tomorrow will be the 8th episode. I’m sorry people to have stalled all of you for so long. Thanks for the concern. I’m all fine now, though I did cut myself into halves.. yeah..

Oh.. I’ve missed out.. New categories will be added here soon. Hehe

Was It Miracle OR WAS IT MAGIC?

27

Category : DailyUpdates, Lecture

Miracles, Magic both had been performed and talked about since centuries ago. Dated back to the day, when your God did some miracles on Earth – made humans and other living organisms (and non living organisms). If you are unsure, go read your Bible again or simply Google.

Nevertheless, magic too being practiced as a cult ritual to ‘deceive‘ people to join the Cult Club or religion (not anymore now). If you’re offended, you may stop reading now. Magic was being used by mediums so they can be claimed to have supernatural powers like their magicAL gawd. It may be for the sake of the people or it could be simply for the money.. Here, the good example – judge it yourself;

Of course, humans don’t resurrect from dead bodies or FLY!! I think I answered your questions, humans DO NOT fly at all cost! There could be black magic (not because of the skin color) but NO evidence to prove that it even exist. I never once discover miracles in my research of paranormal/supernatural activities.. only unexplainable situations like ghosts. If we can all walk on water, it won’t be a miracle anymore, right?

Stop yourself from falling into any hypocrites’ prey out there, who tells you that they can heal your cancer, sex addiction or stuff like that. Go see doctor if you’re not feeling well or get some rest. It’s good to be religious/spiritual, BUT DON’T EVER BE NAIVE. Your God wants your LOVE, not Money – only con men do.

Miracles are for us to witness that Magic exists as our entertainment

Thank you Google Adsense team! Yes! Finally got my application approved. Now I can say “bye bye” to several other advertising service providers. It’s Money ($) making with what you’re doing and it actually pays very well. I cash out for my unbelievable expense. Trust me, it’s better with Google Adsense.

And I’ve added the Facebook LIKE button for every post (below the tags). You may, click it now =)

Tomorrow, I will upload the 5th episode of my Magic series on AdrianLeong.com. With the effort of protecting our Mother Earth (Gaia) by reducing wastage and support recycle, I’ve decided to perform a magic which involves outdated magazines that can be found in most homes. The magazines not only serve as our information provider but waste matter without recycling.

Please recycle or sell the outdated magazine to protect our Mother Earth!

I would like to express my gratitude to those are concern about my health condition. NO worries, I’m fine. Only that I’ve been such a workaholic to suffer back pain after extensive hours of sitting on the chair or standing. Lack of sleep too. Will definitely get some rest after this. Thanks for everyone’s concern. Been busy with several projects and magic making stuff.

Oh yes, I’ve got the tickets to the Caught In The Middle Pt IV at PJLA, Jaya One. I would love to meet you guys if you’re going. It’ll be awesome! Of course, will update my blog and video earlier before I leave my house. Haha! So.. see you there alright? =)

See You Tomorrow,

P.S:   I’ve lost weight?????????

How To ELIMINATE Your Stage Fright, Without Magic

19

Category : DailyUpdates, Lecture

First of all, I did NOT become a magician in an overnight success. Took me years of practice and learning, to get me standing where I am now. I may able to perform good magic/illusion.. but I had a fear (first year, 2002) of stage fright. It was scary, embarrassing, nervous, heart beats insanely fast!

If you’re a student, professional, manager or someone needs to stand out and speak to thousands of people.. you’re at the right place to eliminate your stage fright. You need to know what are the elements or matters that cause you to have stage fright. The most commons are;

  • Camera shy
  • Afraid of not able to perform well
  • Lost of words
  • Dissatisfied audiences (those who always boooo… at people)
  • May be part of the series of unfortunate events of the day

For those who are camera shy, you should take photos of yourself or with your friends more often. Make sure you do more funny/weird faces along the way, that will helps you to maintain your smile without showing your awkward expression on stage when flashes came. Take a video too – I was a bit shy of posting my videos online but the well received response kept me doing it =D

Practice makes perfect. If you’ve practiced enough, you should be able to pull it through. Trust me! It’s not rocket science and you probably done something even more embarrassing during your elementary school. For bad audiences and chances of losing (eating) your own words, get a piece of paper and write down a few lines of short jokes or punchline. Use them to buy you sometime to think what you’ve missed out earlier =)

Try reverse psychology or NEG the bad audiences. NEG means negative. Example: “Don’t make fun of yourself before me” or “Great, you guys just entertained me, it’s awesome“. There won’t be PART 2 of unfortunate events.. if you think it will come true, it will! The Law Of Attraction! So STOP thinking about it! I hope these few short guidelines can be helpful. It helped me a lot back in the days..

Anyway, I’ve found the last piece of newspaper cut out. The handicapped home which located at Old Town PJ, visited by the Leos/Lions Clubs and I was there to help out. Also to put up a magic show for the folks;

I was holding the bent and twisted stainless steel fork in my left hand

I don’t remember why was I wearing the Christmas hat. It was January.. Weird!!! Enjoy your weekend. If I could help my friend, John to complete his next magic show act, I may demo them for you to next week. It’ll be awesome! =) Till then..

Today Filmed The Magic Show For Wednesday Release!

Category : DailyUpdates

Last week – my friend John came to me and said that he needed me to help him out on a talent quest. He wanted to win the competition very much (Champion – RM6000) and I decided to lend a hand. John didn’t want to sing or dance, magic would be the best choice to be outstanding. The preliminary round, I taught him the torn and restore newspaper illusion.

Last night – John told me that he won the first round. Next round would commence in a week or 2. I will then teach him the quick change (change clothes under speed of light). I don’t want to miss this opportunity to show it to everyone, I will perform it personally for John’s understanding and your entertainment right here =) But be patient until Wednesday.

Several updates here;

  1. CIMB rejected my first video submission which intended to be viewed publicly in their branches. Because the quality no good enough. (It’s home video, what to expect!) But I’ll make new one.
  2. A footwear company had finally approved me to perform magic with their products. Might be my sponsor for my TV show if it turns out good.
  3. I’ve contacted a coffee cafe company to allow me hosting a small gathering for my fans, bloggers and friends. Free drinks provided!!
  4. A contest will be on the run starting next week, more information will be post here.
  5. I lost my shaver!!!! Need one badly..
  6. Expect more and more magic shows here as I created quite a number of routines and illusions.

What more can I say.. AdrianLeong.com has been doing so good because of more than thousand of viewers and support! Great Thank you for everyone! I’m planning something big for this year..

Awesome Magic Filming At Hometown (besides traffic jam)

10

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!

You Can NOW Do Magic Too!

Been waiting for my next video impatiently? Bored of watching the same one over and over again? I’m still editing the new video which will be released VERY SOON~ but you will know when it is uploaded to this site and on YouTube. In case if you want to experience ‘online’ magic, visit this 20Q website here. I used to play with it very much. You should try it out too! It has the ‘ability’ to read your mind within 20 questions!!

Copy and Paste the questions, ‘to impress your friends‘ – by giving them the answer. Of course, if they don’t mind answering you. =)

The next episode involves incredible illusion which was once fooled me. I couldn’t help it but to research on it till I got my answer. It was a genius method of illusion. Difficult to explain but it will be ready soon. Hopefully it won’t take too long to be uploaded on YouTube. And thank you for waiting patiently too. Appreciate it, Love all of you.

Recently, I’ve lost my ring (not magic ring) and couldn’t find it. Resulted to buy new ones. Am I being too choosy to try on the rings for 20mins at the shop? Anyway, I returned there twice to change the ring size a day after. Hehe. Bought two of it. Both are not silver – therefore I don’t need to spend time to polish,wash them from time to time!

Try out the 20Q, it’ll be lots of fun for you. I have to rush the video for all of you tonight. Today will be the last day to edit the video. Will work on the next one, tomorrow..

Adios!

Biggest Crime TM Ever Did To Us All *Updated

Category : DailyUpdates

I thought that I could blame YouTube for causing me unable to upload my high quality videos (magic) but it was all TM fault!! Do NOT defend them anymore. For most of you who experienced the same issue, glad we’re on the same side. Seriously, why only when my video uploads failed when it passed 50%? No, it wasn’t YouTube, because my internet connection was disconnected!

Can’t do anything about the video so far. Will either record a new video with lower resolution, so the upload will be much faster. Or I will have to upload the videos with different connection this weekend but it’ll be so long until my friends can view it. I’m really sorry to those who has been waiting impatiently.. =(

By the way, yesterday I received a call from uh, (I forgotten the name), asked me if they could interview me on this weekend at their office. I was surprised! Of course!! Not much informations given – other than that I will get paid once the interview is over. =D

Will take more photos and post it up here soon..

P.S:   A surprise for everyone is being prepared =)

Updates;
I’ll try again and again until my large capacity video file to be uploaded on YouTube. Once it’s ready, I’ll post it up here. If everything’s fine.. should be able to watch it by tonight or tomorrow. Hehe! Ciao

Prospective Sponsor

Category : DailyUpdates

Got an email reply from a company which distributes a typical footwear brand in Malaysia. You know which it is, cuz’ you can find these shoes being sold everywhere. Here’s the hint; there are 2 brands that have the similar brand. I hope you get it. My proposal of using their brand to include into my future magic project have been reviewed, they like it very much. Great!

Speaking of magic, most of you sent me emails and messages of encouragement. Thank you very much! I’m trying my very best to release another video. Because I’ve been busy with my other projects.. I couldn’t reply to everyone of you. My deepest apology. As I promised before, at least a video a week. It shouldn’t be a problem to me. Hehe.

Eh.. Next month, 27th of May 2010 is Vesak Day. Each yeah round, I will donate my blood at the SJ Buddhist Temple. This year I will make a visit to the orphanage with the fellow Lions (Lions Club members). Been sometime since my last visit. Almost a year now.. missed it.

Better make this year as a comeback for me as a professional magician again. Love you for supporting me and still remembering Adrian Leong as a magician. Appreciate that. In times, it would be great if I can meet all of you again either on stage or off the stage.

Signed with Love,

P.S:   I’m still struggling with audio edit. Hehe! Any nice music to recommend?
