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:

HSBC Women's Golf Championship: How I did not get to meet Michelle Wie

If you have been following the golf championships, you would know the name, Michelle Wie. She was the Champion in 2018.

I was booked for the gala reception before the matches for 2019, and I really wanted to meet her. In fact, for this event I created something special featuring Michelle Wie. See it on my Instagram here!

Though I did not get to meet her, it was a wonderful evening of sharing my magic with the wonderful golf enthusiast and golfers!

Hong Kong Innovation Festival: iPad Magic at InnoFiesta 2018

When Technology combined with Magic and Innovation, you get an exciting experience of visually impactful, mind blowing entertainment!

For that reason, I was flown to Hong Kong to showcase my work specially for Hong Kong’s Innovation Festival called InnoFiesta. They wanted me to showcase my iPad Magic which they deemed to be a breakthrough in innovation and magic.

This festival was the first time I performed to a public crowd in Hong Kong. The previous engagements were solely for corporate and private events (see my launch for Ford in Hong Kong, FWD insurance Hong Kong and ALCO Launch Hong Kong).

The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the magic. The organizers were very satisfied with my performance as they agreed that this was an innovative performance combining technology and magic!

Thank you Hong Kong! I would love to be back once again to share newer and more innovative iPad Magic!

My Magic, My Gift

For some, magic is a tool to break the ice or pick up girls. For me, my magic is a gift. It is a gift that allows me to connect with people of all ages and demographics. 

Last Friday, Hari Raya, I was asked to do a show for the less fortune at the Istana. I instantly agreed. While the usual corporate international shows are great (together with the fancy hotel suites and cocktails), its always a privilege to offer my magic to those who might not had the chance to experience it. 

When I performed my magic for the audiences, it bridged an instant connection between myself and them, we are on the same page and we know that we are both going to experience something wonderful and amazing. 

I am really glad I was able to rope in The Strangers and Joel to be a part of their experience. They performed wonderful close up magic for them and brought joy to them.

At the end of our performance, we were also had a chat with Mdm President Halimah and First Gentleman, Mr Mohammad.

Here is a short footage of my iPad Magic at the Istana. Have a glimpse of how the West Drawing Room looks like:

It was truly truly a special thing to give our time and talents for those who have lack moments of wonder, or those who no longer believe in magic. As magicians, we must never forget that.

Singaporean iPad Magic in the Middle East - Egypt

A land of mystic and magic, Egypt. The place where fallen kings are mummified and kept in tombs where they believe in the afterlife. Filled with 3000 years of culture and richness, Egypt houses one of the 7 Wonders of the world. 

That sounds like something you'd see on a travel catalog, doesn't it? But in March, the iPad Magic Team and I were flown all the way from Singapore to Egypt to witness the magic of Egypt. Actually we were flown to perform at a Technology Conference called Connect HYPE 2018. There were partners from the Middle East at the event including Cisco (Which you might remember that I was performing there 2 years ago for their event in Saudi Arabia. Read more about it here!)

We were housed in the lovely Kempinski Soma Bay hotel in Hurghada, It was a wonderful place next to the Red Sea. We had the time to swim inside the Red Sea and did other tourist things. But it was not all play as we had a show to deliver, and deliver we did!
 

On top of my regular iPad Stage Illusions, I crafted a customized performance for Connect to showcase their digital and online technology. The whole coding process of a customized performance took about 15 hours, and you can see it below:

Though the effort was immense, it was well worth it. The performance was well received, the client loved how we showcased their technical know-hows and their services. 

After the performance, we went to tour Egypt, seeing the Great Pyramids of Giza. the Sphinx and even the Valley of the Kings. 

Check out a short video here on the various sights and sounds of Egypt:

I hope you enjoyed the video because we certainly enjoyed showcasing our magic to the middle east and in Egypt!

Can't wait to be back!

Yes Bank: India Conference for 1000 Guest in Singapore

After my bouts of iPad Magic stints around India, I was specially requested to perform for an international India event in Singapore. This was an event organized by Yes Bank of India. The event itself hosted more than 1000 guests, held in the lovely Grand Ball Room of Mandarin Orchard.

It was a terrific crowd, and I was commissioned to create a customized segment where I would make their logo appear. 

Here is it:

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!
