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

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 Nuffnang – Prince 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

Was It Miracle OR WAS IT MAGIC?

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

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

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.

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!!

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

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!

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

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..
