I'm sorry guys, i have to add this. This is not my desperate attempt to increase my post count.

Very very good. He got balls. I will never make fun of that gimmick again.

ZiAn, isn't it almost exams? Still got so much time to watch the videos!! LOL!

This is the Da Mo Jing that i was talking about some time ago in one of my previous post. Its a pity the sg's Variety Big Brother is still those that were recorded years ago.

The competition's standard is quite high! At the start, some were really not good, but the more recent ones had high standards, and i think hearing the judges commentary is very good learning for us.

Magicians in Taiwan seem to have quite a big fan base. Quite unlike sg. Lu chen is very popular in Taiwan and China!

Oh man. You are right Zian, Lu Chen is really damn have the guts to let the spectator handles the deck. This is so fun of using this gimmick to play around with the presentation.

Nowadays the Zhong Yi Da Ge Da got show magic competition man. Quite a few good competitors showing with their manipulation skills too. :D

Very good presentation of a gimmick. I think the
lesson to learn from this clip is not so much as what or
how fantastic the gimmick is but rather presentation,
presentation, presentation. Something to learn.

OooOoo....damn good...

More Lu Chen

Love that card effect with 10 cards on each wine
glass, that eventually pairs up. That's a really cool
trick, strong and easy to understand.

Anyone of you guys know the name of that effect?

Never knew the Taiwanese are also so into magic.
And damned good leh, who is this Lu Chen guy?
See pay ho!

Thanks for sourcing the clips, enjoyed them very much.

You haven't heard of Lu Chen?
He has been around for a long time and something of a celebrity magician in asian region.

Taiwan actually has a very vibrant magic scene. You often see their various tv personalities doing little magic tricks.
It's almost to the point of wide-spread exposure :P

Very nice! THanks for posting this and bringing my attention to Lu Chen.

Actually i never heard of him and this is the first time. I am new to asia's magician as I have been away and locked up someplace cold :P..

I know of a few famous magicians from Japan, but not familiar with HK, Taiwan, Mainland China or around here, Any other great Asian Magicians, do introduce me :)

Ya, there is one.... His name is Axl from Singapore. I can ask him to autograph for you. B)

Lu Chen is an International Magician. Lu Chen came to Singapore on 1st Sept 2007 perform in Jubliee Hall Raffles Hotel. you can check out some of his performance video on the web. His favourite compeitition act is with doves, if I'm not wrong. Have fun watching. :)

One word, "AWESOME"!

Lu chen's presentation is totally wicked sick!

The competitors are really great esp the 2nd guy. Funny!

Cheers to all!
