I've always known Andy Lau and Jay Zhou are mildly interested in magic.
Andy has demostrated some basic sleight of hand in some of his movies too.
But Stephen Fung, that's a surprise! :!!:
Apparently he has some magic special in HK as well. And he actually bothers to practise the more difficult sleight of hand stuff too.

Wah, Stephen Fung's Laser deal is damn smooth. Indeed a surprise man. Nice one. :)

This is quite off topic, but I'm just wondering... if it's a female celebrity instead, would it be coined that she knows some "magic tricks" as opposed to her being a magician, like how male celebrities like andy lau, etc. are perceived? I always feel there's unfair gender bias when it comes to the fairer sex.

Ning, here's an example for you.

And I think you are right, but I wonder if that's because not many females are interested in magic in the first place.

I think that would happen! Just look at the comments for the clips...
I remember seeing some TVBI specials long time ago, where the celebrities present some special stuff. Quite some were magic-related.
The female celebs were are made to look like assistants (bunny girl OMG) though they were the one doing the effects, while the guys just well 'controlled' the whole thing and were the 'magicians'. I think it was long time ago, but still... Think i stopped watching after i saw that.

There are a number of female celebs who do magic, SHE are one of them and another few B-list Taiwanese actresses. Their performances were pretty well-received.
