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

Incredible Illusion And Egg Into Glass Bottle Trick

It’s Saturday so I would like to share some interesting videos I found in the social networking site.. alright, Facebook! This is an awesome video of illusion created by Koukichi Sugihara. Why he did that, for the best illusion contest of course. Nah, not magic BUT the illusion won the BEST Illusion of 2010. Worth to find out what it is;

Explanation collected from YouTube. Because it was too scientific for me to explain. Argh..

In this video, wooden balls roll up the slopes just as if they are pulled by a magnet. The behavior of the balls seems impossible, because it is against the gravity. The video is NOT a computer graphic, but a real scene. What is actually happening is that the orientations of the slopes are perceived oppositely, and hence the descending motion is misinterpreted as ascending motion. This illusion is remarkable in that it is generated by a three-dimensional solid object and physical motion, instead of a two-dimensional picture.

For those who are bored on weekend like I am now, you can try doing the following trick. Why you do that, because it’s simply fun! By the way, do it at your own risk. Someone might just stop you from doing it. Probably your mother-in-law or the owner of the egg (with revenge).

In case you didn’t know, the egg’s shell was peeled off. It won’t work with a hard boiled egg with SHELL (not petrol station) still wrapped around . I haven’t try it yet but it’s possible. Simply too busy with my magic stuff that ongoing now.

Quite a number of magic props been made out of trash recently. Will put them on the test to make sure it works great. Guess what, I’ll test them on the field, with random strangers.. =D So much fun! Well, enjoy your weekend! Forget about your manic Monday.

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..
