This post is long overdue and it’s going to be short …. because I’m feeling lazy today ! =)

I recently directed a stage magic show in Cairo , the largest Egypt has ever seen . It was a fantastic event and I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to mix around and rub shoulders with some of magic living legends . I also made a tantamount of new friends whom are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met . People in Egypt are really nice , this is my 2nd trip there the 1st being the launch for the Nokia Express Music phone in Cairo in December . I met many familiar faces in the crowd and they kept on asking me to bend a coin for them . =)

My last trip to Cairo , Egypt . I had a great team !

The team consisted of Grand Illusionist , The Pendragons , who are living legends in Magic . They’re in the Guinness World Book of records as the fastest illusionist in the world . Charlotte Pendragon is one of the humblest magical practitioners I know . She helped me so much during the duration of the show .

We had an aerialist , Kristi Toguchi who is attached with Circus De Soil , not forgetting her homourous assistant , Eric ! We also had comedy magician Jay Mattioli and a duo Quick Change Artist who are also the British Grand Prix Magic Champion , Keelan and Charlotte . I also brought my friend Kenneth over to help me out with the whole show preperation .

The show was a huge sucess and hopefully with planning were bringing it over to other parts of the middle east . Most importantly , I made so many new friends and have learned so much from my experience there . The contacts I made , and the knowledge I’ve gotten could have never been substituted by anything else . The main organizers who were good friends made my job so much easier too . Garo and Moussa from Events Plus were a joy to wkr with .

Recently I even hosted Keelan here in Malaysia and had a terribly wonderful time . Haha ! All the way from the UK to Malaysia !

People always ask me why do I enjoy doing magic so much .
Honestly , it’s the people I meet from the shows that I do . Every show is a different experience . Where else do you get a job like mine ? =)

With the main person that brought me to Egypt , Garo Varjabedian ( whose with his son ) . Many more projects to come ! =)

A big thank you goes out to everyone who contributed to the success of this show !
