About Me...
For centuries magic
has mostly been seen through “abracadabra”, or “hocus pocus”.
When I first started practicing magic, I was horrible onstage. I never saw myself wearing a tuxedo and pulling rabbits out of hats.

When I first started practicing magic, I was horrible onstage. I never saw myself wearing a tuxedo and pulling rabbits out of hats.
At the time, my greatest influences were close-up magic. Close up magic allows the audience to follow along while the magician uses coins, cards, or anything small you can pull out of your pocket or borrow from them. I just perform face to face and it looks more real compare on stage performance.
Seeing other magicians on TV; like David Blaine, Chris Angel, Mondo Magic & Cryil Takayama; those were the people I aspired to be like.
I spent years of training and trying to figure out how could I take my magic and present it in a way that would appeal to everyone.
I want the attention;
I go out there and grab it.
That’s what I did.
My Magic Life Begin...
My first aim is too please myself and in turn, if my show pleases others, then that makes it even more special. If I told you how I did all of the tricks, it would take away so much of the total experience from you. Look, obviously I can’t make an elephant disappear, but I can create the illusion that the elephant vanished right before your eyes.
My ego is never satisfied. I want to always be better at what I do. To me, there’s always something wrong with what I do, or some area that could stand a little improvement. I’m perfectionist. Perfection is always impossible, so the pursuit of perfection is a constant, never ending, and infinite chase. I just wanted to do something different and unique.
As my career in magic began… I needed someone who could help guide and support the direction I was headed in. From the moment I met Alex OuYong, I knew will be represented and work together for the rest of my career. We both come from Seremban and shared the same career in Hospitality Food and Beverage. Our work ethic is similar. We are Bloodbrothers. We have no paper contract. We no need for one. Our commitment is mutual. Our goals are shared.

My Mission
You’ve got to love what you do, to have the type of drive and passion. You have to know, trust, and like yourself, inside and out. If you want people to believe in what you do, you have to believe in yourself.
Success and failure both come with a price. I believe the real task is to figure out how to handle both in a way that serves me professionally and personally.
I often get a chance to meet kids with disabilities or orphanage. They appreciate what they have and don’t focus on what’s missing or what they’re losing.
They don’t get caught up in the crap most people do, myself included. Seeing these kids is a reminder of how important it is to enjoy the moment.
It wasn’t about making money or being famous. It was because I love what I do, and I adore the organic responses of wonderment and appreciation.
The truth is, I’m just a regular guy. I try to stay approachable, grounded, and down-to-earth. The people around me appreciate those traits. Staying that way helps me in all areas of my professional and personal lives.
You have to go out there and make your own way in life.
It doesn’t get any sweeter than working hard for something and having it pay off. The more you have at risk, the bigger it pays. And when it pays big, it’s amazing.
