Restaurant Andre: Gastronomic Circus De La Vida (Curating Food with Magic)

It was truly a great privilege to work with Andre Chiang of Restaurant Andre. This is a 2 Michelin Star Establishment. This man is a master at what he does, and his cool temperament is a huge contrast to say... Gordon Ramsey. 

When you walk into the restaurant, there is an air of poshness but yet unpretentious. I met Andre personally to talk about a collaboration where I would design magic to introduce each dish. This could be in the form of making the dish appear, or a crucial ingredient appear. This was a one day only presentation for Gastronomic Circus De La Vida.

Apart from designing the magic, I was also involved in teaching the waiting staff how to execute the easier magic so that they can do it as well. The magic we created was focused and to the point. Every magic sequence is specific to the dish, there was no need for generic magic in this settle.

On the day itself, I disguised myself as a waiter and greeted the guests. Amongst many things, I made a bottle of wine appear as well as make coffee beans appear out of my phone. Check out this video from a guest from Thailand!

It's magic

Truly a wonderful and enriching experience working and learning from a master from a different discipline.

After the event, I got the feedback, even though the magic was the most expensive part of the event, Pam and Andre(the chefs) said that it was the most impressive and the one that is most worth it. They were really happy with Alex's performance

That brought a smile to my face :)

iPad Magic on Stage For Gala Dinner in Hong Kong

In January, Alexander and his team were specially flew to Hong Kong for a Gala dinner. This gala dinner was to celebrate the company's high growth in 2016. Which that in mind, they wanted a show that is never seen before as well as showcase their company.

The crowd was immensely engaged by Alexander's sleek style of iPad Magic. They went wild when he "painted" the name of their company on his iPads.

After it was painted, Alexander changed it to their official logo and pulled it out. 

This sequence was particularly enjoyable for the crowd because it fostered a strong sense of identity for them. Alexander was commended by the board of directors after the performance!

Lancome Client Appreciate Event: iPad Magician

It might be kind of weird to have a male illusionist in a female-centric event, right?

Actually, not really.

I was booked by L'Oreal, Lancome, to perform and entertain their top clients. This was in event held at the very elegant Paragon Atrium.

The demographic of the guests were high end users of their products, they wanted to be sure that they were in the best hands in terms of entertainment. 

For this engagement, I specially designed an app to first showcase the features of their star product, the Genifique, and to make it appear from their online website.

It is pretty cool, and it looks something like this.

I got really good feedback from the client and the guests from the event. And the best part is, not only they experience the magic of the products via my iPad, they will also feel the magic on their skin ;)
