Sunny Chen:visual impact!


Sunny Chen,also a young magician from Taiwan,has a distinct performing characteristic.He is not a magician for competiton but a magician for some commercial shows(By the way,I want to introduce two types of magicians.One strives for getting some cases and gets well-known through the shows.The other is diligent in getting good prizes in contests.Similarly,the ultimate goal for them is same-to get more cases XD)

He has participated in some contests and won some awards.He even won two grand prizes(中文:總冠軍)in Japan Sea and Malaysia magic contests.However,he puts emphasis on creating new shows.I think he is more skilled in the magic which allows him to interact with the audience.Maybe that is a reason that he joint in less contests than the shows he has performed.

He is good at controlling the atmosphere.Some people consider that he is imitating Lu Chen.His signature actor's line is "Then comes the visual impact!"This makes him distinguishable. 

My favorite videos about him:

Po-Han Huang:a poet

Po Han Huang,graduating from NTU,has won many awards worldwide and represented Taiwan to compete in F.I.S.M(I has mentioned this contest in the previous articles.It is seemed as "the olympics of magician")His show is built upon the poet 徐志摩,and he named the act after "再別康橋",which is a famous poem written by this great poet.
The main idea in this show is "story".Like my article in the first week,Xavier Mortimer also adds a story about mirror in his show.They both think that story is good to strike a chord with the audience.

In this speech,he talked about his attitude toward magic.To magicians,we will spare no efforts to "improve" the effects in our show.That is what I learn from this performing art.

Many people have asked him why not study continuously.I think that it is not because he consider degree useless,it is because what he really like will count a lot in his life.

It still need a lot of time to let everyone embrace the idea"One may distinguish himself in any trade."

Po Cheng Lai-fantastic Taiwan magician

I know I am going to share on satge, so I choose one who has more stories.XD

Po Cheng Lai,from Taiwan,is a new-aged magician.Graduating from National Changhua University of Education,he could choose to be a engineer or a teacher at first.However,because of the passion of magic,he tried to be a professional magician.In the beginning,his parents opposed him strongly.They insisted that he should be a teacher due to the stable income.Facing the dilemma of the dream and the pressure from the society,he made a decison.He promised to his family that if he couldn't get any prize in the Thailand Magic Festival this time,he would leave the magic circle and live a normal life.Luckiy,he got a championship in the contest.In the same year,he got two championships in Japan and Asia Magic Festival.After this success, his family started to agree and support him.His fan act is really fantastic.It is his feature to help him get these awards.
(Asia family is more realistic.If you aren't outstanding in the occupation,you should give up your dream. )

Kenji minemura:men of genius

Today,I will introduce one of my favorite asia magician-kenji minemura 峰村健二

From japan,he had gotten a first prize in FISM,which is known as "olympics in magic".After getting such a big honor,he started to get some commercial case to show.By the way,I want to tell you that there is no award money in FISM!!However,the competiton can bring magicians fame.Thus,magicians can be more famous after it so that they can get more cases~

Back to my topic,despite having been a successful magician,he was still diligent in creating new routines.(magicians call a set of a show"routine")Each routine is very interesting and suitable to be perfomed in every ocassion.He can act as many different characters.

Let's look the following videos.His style is classical and his every move on the stage is perfect.

Besides,he had once performed as a guest in Taiwan in FJU.I had taken picture with him!HAHA~~

That was a good memory in my magic club life.
