Greetings all the way from Malaysia!!!!

I'm a Malaysian magician/illusionist who dreams of turning pro one day (don't we all!)...
27 years old, and they say I'm cute 'cause I'm small (5" 1'/120 lbs)... I've only one grand illusion, I call it "The Machine"(!), plus other effects that I've actually performed on Malaysian TV, more than once (still not famous though, sigh...).

Have actually done a shoot with Franz Harary when he came down here... It was for his
"Phenomenon" show, I was a roadside shaman/fakir in it... Read in MAGIC that he won something or other for that show...

Recently as part of an acting job, I managed to squeeze in some magic into the show (hurrah...), I did the "Twisting Arm Illusion", "The Crazy Man's Handcuff", "The Balducci" and a few other effects on national TV.

My favourites are, DC and DB. I've actually watched DC 10 times live (I kid you not)! Caught him in Singapore the last time (that
"Portal" illusion was done right above my head!).... Love DB 'cause I'm into hip-hop street culture and he has made close-up magic the "in" thing nowadays (I'm not too crazy about jumpin' off of any high poles though, hehe...)

Have also seen Jade, Joanna Chen and a few other well known acts...

Basically that's my intro... and I love the martial arts (need it cuz I'm small), hip-hop, acting and MAGIC!!!

SO VERY PROUD TO BE HERE. So humbled by the wealth of knowledge and help being put forth.... It ain't easy trying to be a Magician/Illusionist here in Malaysia but with you guys here, it's one more step for me on my journey....

Sincerly, THANKS FOR BEING HERE GUYS!!!

Peace!

Pakar Ilusi a.k.a. Illusion Specialist,

I'm from Malaysia as well, only one year experience. Thing is, where do you find cheap magic books around here? Been ordering from the net and it's costing me a bit. Anyway, welcome to the forum. I've not intro myself yet until I'm a little more proficient in magic.
