Just post a comment to this blog post here with..

  2. Occupation. (Student, if you’re still studying)
  3. Tell me why do you want to learn this trick

That’s all! No right or wrong answer. Just for the fun of it. =) I can’t teach magic openly. The reason is that, if everyone knows the secret behind the magic.. who will be impressed? By the way, this magic trick is very simple, even a 10 years old kid can do it.. if only the kid knows the secret.

All the best to you

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 it wasn't really outdated issue..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

How To ELIMINATE Your Stage Fright, Without Magic

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..

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..

Thank you – THANK YOU!! I’ve received lots of positive comments, messages and emails from all of you. I’m really very sorry if I took too long to reply as there were too many. It’s my pleasure and honor to have you entertained at my (now) AdrianLeong’s Magic Blog. No new title to be fixed. This is already good enough. Thanks! =) Extremely happy!

Domo arigatou gozaimasu!!

I didn’t sleep on that Friday night. The visitor count to my site was unexpectedly high! This will definitely be my guideline and determination to bring mystical joy and happiness to my readers, fans all around the globe. I’m very excited that I can’t wait to finish the following video edit to publish it by this week as soon as possible!

It’ll be a clearer shot and not so scary music~ There were quite a number of requests made to me. Note that I will put all requests into consideration. Whether or not it will succeed, depends on the reception;

  1. Teach magic via video for free
  2. Use-less horrific music
  3. Host a gathering/lecture
  4. Get a girlfriend (uh.. … must I..?)
  5. Levitate from the ground

I think hosting a small gathering shouldn’t be a problem. But I want to ensure enough people.. otherwise it’ll be boring. TEACH MAGIC – I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. Alright. I’ll try to make a instructional video and post it up here once I done it. It’s my belief that, Anyone can perform magic, Only a master to create one.

Okay okay! No more loitering around. I need to continue my video edit and recording. =)

    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

    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.
