A Gentlemen's Jewelry - Tudor Watch Event

Some weeks ago when Tudor Ambassador Jay Chou came down to Singapore for his concert, I was invited to entertain Tudor’s top VIPs before they left for the concert.

For this event, they were invited to Morton’s Bar in Mandarin Oriental Singapore and was served delicious cocktails and canapés. To bring more delight to their experience, I was asked to engage them with my iPad Magic.

The guests were all expert in fine watches, so I had to work hard to impress them. I designed a piece of magic on the iPad with the Tudor Black Bay Chrono S&G and it had gotten wonderful reactions!

It was an amazing night of food, drinks and magic; I am certain that the guests had an even more amazing experience at the VIP seats of the concert!

Innovation at Apple Store - Thinking about Magic

In the earlier blog post, I shared about the talk I gave at Apple Store Singapore. In this talk, I went over several aspects of innovation and how you can think about creating something innovative.

Today, I would like to share with you more on the end results of my thoughts and creations. I think the term “end result” is a huge misnomer because what you are seeing is a constant work in progress; technologies change, my thoughts shaped by my experience change, and how I feel about my work also changes. These forces me to rethink about these acts.

This is one of my favorites and it is called, “If Money Grew on Trees”:

To close this topic of innovation and creativity, I would like to share with you the act with the lightbulb that I was talking about in the last post.

I would like to share with you how I reimagined the bulb, and this is what I have came out with

Enjoy!

iPad Magic inside the Apple Store Orchard

Being able to perform my magic at the Apple store has been one of my dreams, and I am thrilled to share that this dream has come true.

I was given the opportunity to share my iPad Magic and coding at the Today At Apple session. The talk spanned for an hour and a half in which I spoke passionately about how I got into magic and how I made it my career. I also spoke about how I create and designed my iPad Magic with coding. The audiences got a treat when they were handed out iPads to try the hands on coding exercise where they would learn how to programme magic on their own.

For those who missed out on this talk, I have taken some time to upload snippets of it in my new Youtube channel. Check it out here:

Etiqueta Negra: Telling the Story of Premium Red Wine

When it comes to launching a new product, brands are always very careful about how they would want information to be presented. It can be in the form of a talk or a speech with powerpoint; but unless the speaker is exceptionally charismatic, speeches tend to be more lackluster.

VCT Wines came to me asking for a way to launch their premium Red Wine, the Etiqueta Negra. The objective for them was the following:

1. Tell the origin story of the wine

2. How it is different from the rest in terms of the taste and texture

3. Involve the VIP, Master Wine Maker - Marcello Papa

With that in mind, I crafted a digital magic sequence with the iPad and an LED TV for this. It also involves the VIP at the end which is a perfect lead into his presentation there after.

Here is a rehearsal demo:

Enjoy!

Customized Mentalism and iPad Magic in Colombo

Recently I was booked again for an overseas trip to Sri Lanka for the Young Presidents’ Organisation Handover Event. This is the first stop of many for my iPad Magic- Asia tour.

My team and I were housed in the vibrant and exquisite Hilton Hotel Colombo for the night. The food and the ambiance, alongside comfy accommodations were all perks of being an international illusionist. It is always a blessing to be able to travel and showcase my artistic work.

Showtime was in the evening.  I took the stage and performed a short segment of customized mentalism that captivated the audience. This customized piece of magic was designed to showcase the theme of the event where the outgoing committee hands over to the new incoming committee. I designed it in such a way where it will involve everyone in the audience and the final revelation is a nice surprise.

 
See the video below for yourself!

I was also requested to perform mind-blowing mentalism at the cocktail reception. You can see the audiences being enthralled by his amazing performance.

After the walkaround set of mentalism, I was then requested for my specialty of iPad Magic. 

After the show, I had to head off to the airport to catch a midnight flight back to Singapore as I am booked for another show back at home. All in all, it is a wonderful and fruitful performance where I am able to share magic that is rarely seen!

Signing off,

iPad Magician: Mercedes Benz The New GLA Launch

The all New Mercedes Benz GLA is a charming, sleek and family friendly car. I was invited to entertain the guests at the launch of the car. 

I specially designed an app on the iPad to make a car model appear. The guests reacted with much delight after seeing the iPad magic. This also gave me a chance to nudge them to check out the real car on display.

Aside from that app, I also designed an iPad Magic app that displays the hashtags of the event and they appear magically in the cards that the guests were holding.

Check out this short video to see the magic and the all New GLA!

And at the end of the event, I got a positive feedback from the organizer and that was a good pat on my shoulder!

“Hi Alexander,

I would like to thank you for the services at the MB GLA launch. The client enjoyed it very much.

Thanks”

Great honour to share my iPad Magic at the car launch!

Asia's Top iPad Magician in India

On 9th of April, Asia's Top iPad Magician, Alexander Y flew to India, Jaipur to entertain distinguish guest of Willis Carrier Club dealer’s event and Toshiba Dealers Meet. He was invited to perform for a cocktail reception to showcase his amazing iPad Magic.

Check out this quick video to see the sights and sound of Fairmont India!

When we first arrived at Fairmont hotel, Jaipur, we were graciously greeted by the hotel staff. The hotel staff were so hospitable they even toured us around the grounds of the hotel and explained why the hotel was built in the shape of a palace! We were in awe when we saw how beautiful the hotel was.

On the first night, Alexander performed for Willis Carrier Club. He started his opening act and left his audiences speechless, even the client told him “You have really pursued the right path in life as a magician!”

Alexander then moved on to the next group of audiences. He started pulling objects out of his IPad such as his sharpie, sponge balls, and even transferred an X from his iPad to his spectator’s hands!

He soon established his presence there as a magician and people were crowding around him to watch him work his magic! It ended off with a thunderous applause and the events manager looked forward to seeing him again the next day to perform for Toshiba Dealers meet!

On the second night, Alexander arrived at the event location an hour earlier. He walked around the dining area, preparing for the guests to arrive, and striking conversations with the waiters and waitresses. A few minutes later, Alex was greeted by a guest who excitedly requested for a magic trick after getting great feedback about his magic! He was astonished when Alexander was able to predict the card he was thinking of.

After the guests started streaming in the ballroom, Alexander approached a group of Indians and performed his full repertoire of iPad Magic. One of the Indians shrieked when Alexander made a coin appear underneath his watch! He carried on wowing the crowd with his professionally designed iPad magic and ended the night with a round of applause from the spectators and smiles on their faces! Throughout his night of performing, people genuinely were genuinely impressed with his performance and a lot of them even requested to take selfies knowing he is the celebrity of the event!

It was an amazing event and experience for Alexander and his team! It was truly a blessing to be flown around to perform magic!

"Terrific Colours, Stylishly Compact!" - A Customized iPad Product Launch (VIP Launch)

Designing a product launch is never an easy task, it takes a lot of creative energy, trial and error and rehearsals. 

Imagine this, I was sent a brief for a launch of a printer with the tagline "Terrific Colours, Stylishly Compact". And a specific request that a VIP must be involved in the act.

How do you work from here? What type of imagery does this elicit in your mind?

While it is vague, I did my research on the Canon printer and found other neat features it has. With these features in mind, I knew objectively what I wanted to showcase. The terrific colors it has, its stylishness and its mobile-friendly capacity. 

With this said, the magic also has to reflect this. The visual assets I use must also reflect this. 

The total time I took to design this 3 minute sequence:

• Conceptualization: 10 hours
• Programming: 30 Hours
• Designing Visual Assets: 5 Hours
• Designing the Prop: 3 Hours
• Fabrication of Props: 10 Hours
• Rehearsals: 10 Hours

You can see that I make sure every detail is taken care of. I had to program the iPads such that the VIP can use it intuitively. 

You can hear how much the crowd enjoyed this sequence, as well as learning about its features. See the video below!

Hope you enjoyed that!

If you have a product or a campaign to launch, talk to a professional. I will be most happy to design a sequence specially for you!
