This year is Singapore’s 55th Birthday and it is an unprecedented celebration because it has be held online due to COVID 19.
Traditionally, my team from Magicians of Singapore and I would perform our magic live at community events in anticipation of National Day. However this year, we are doing a mix of virtual and hybrid magic shows.
In the same spirit, I created 3 pieces of magic digitally to celebrate Singapore’s independence in my own special way.
Check it out here:
These were a lot of fun to create! I was very lucky to be able to share this with Singapore’s Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong and I am very honoured that he replied that he enjoyed this:
“Dear Alexander, Thank you for sharing your magic tricks with me! Also caught the one where you explained the significance of our National Flag. Good job for creatively melding both the physical and the digital in your tricks! Wishing you and your family a happy National Day, and a good long weekend ahead! Warm regards, LHL”
I truly think that even though the circumstances of COVID19 has made us change the way we engage with each other, the spirit and love for Singapore still remains unchanged!
Happy Birthday Singapore!
