As a Magician

During my undergraduate years I had devoted myself to the art of staging magic. My journey began when I chose to join the NTU Magic Club, which is one of the most distinguished student magic clubs in Taiwan. With the aid from the elders and the educational resource in our club, I created my own manipulation act and started to perform in  formal occasions and magic competitions since 2009. In the next few years I kept polishing this act through more performances and competitions, and in 2012 I was invited to perform for the world-famous performing art TV show Le Plus Grand Cabaret Du Monde in Paris, France. It was a dreamed stage for Asia magicians in our generation, and I feel proud and grateful to be the first Taiwanese magician performing there. Before this 20-year-old TV show ends in May 2019, there are already 8 Taiwanese magicians who had shared their talents and passions on that stage, and two among them are originally from NTU Magic Club.

As a Lecturer

Staging magic is a complex form of art which combines multidiscipline skills and knowledge including acting, psychology, choreography, scriptwriting, mechanics, electronics, and more practical principles for the secret of magic. In 2013 I started to share my expertise and experience in this field in the form of lectures for student magic clubs and conferences. My lecture topics of staging magic contains:

•  Act Design and Development (1): Focus, Character, and Logic

• Act Design and Development (2): Structure and Emotion

• Key Concepts in Performing: Coordination, Presentation, and Interpretation

• Sense of Misdirection: Perception, Analysis, and Maneuver

• Billiard Ball Magic and Principles of Manipulation

• Introduction to Magic Competition

I deeply appreciate that during my years in Taiwan I had given more than 40 lectures in the magic communities and collaborated with 100+ amateur and professional magicians.
