Did fortune telling for a company event at The Pan Pacific Hotel Singapore yesterday. That was great to meet many nice guests. If I say caricature and silhouette cutting need a lot of observation on people’s face and use a lot of hand muscle energy to draw, then fortune telling for palm reading or face read might be need a lot of energy from you mind other than observe people’s palm closely. You may suffer for sour throat if there were a long hour’s booking.Ah1 This is one type of the 'Lucky Tree' found in one the decorations of the hotel! (Just similarity to western's Christmas Tree)I would say, palm reading and face reading for event fringe entertainment is belonging to knowledge base service, I do it in a serious way but try to keep it in a relax way with some entertaining ingredients. We usually point out the guests stro9ng point and weak points.
Usually all the fortune teller would not tell the bad thing about the guests, just mainly doing the character telling, because we would not spoil the happy guests’ whose just come to enjoy their party.
As an ambidextrous caricaturist, I do caricature drawing since 1990 in Singapore. Einstien from Norway is the pioneer caricaturist with certain years before me, then follow by Eric Ng, Saik, Poon Ee Way whose were my senior. Chong Jit Leong, which known having shop at Yishun area doing full time portrait and caricature around that time as well if not wrong. Not much people doing caricature for events fringe art during that period. Nowadays, more than 22 active caricaturists in the industry.

Fortune Telling For Event
Did a fortune telling which recommend by friend for a company’s event. Usually we will be set a table and chair to sit at one corner to read the guests’ fortune; anyway, for this event I decided to walking around while most of the guests were sitting at their place having chit chat, drinking and enjoying their food.Basically only some fortune telling items was able to roving like palm reading and face reading, some fortune teller might use their handheld like palm device with the related chart calculation software would also able to do fortune telling like Chinese ‘Bazi’ or ‘Zi Wel Dou Shu’ reading.
I thought any fortune telling that needed to use the card might not be able work in roving style, but I seen once that one lady fortune teller was roving by using sort of ‘Oracle’ cards, just ask the guests to pick one of the card and then read the fortune few years ago.

Alex Tan is a very experience artist and magician in our trait for many years.变脸 (Chinese Mask Changing Magic), which is an unique opera art in China, traditionally that is a secret that not allow to teach any foreigner or any female as their rules, if you red the new about the famous Hong Kong actor/singer Andy Lau’s incident which had been reject to be a student of a Chinese Mask Changing Magic Master few years ago, that you will know how strict the rules they are.
Anyway, maybe due to the changing of the rule of China and related organization, Alex Tan was one of the Singaporean Artist who learnt this China’s unique skill; another Singaporean who learnt this skill as well is magician Terrence Sylvester (Chinese), other then that, that will be Choi brothers which is the longers Chinese Mask Changing Magic performers in Singapore.

Orchard Road
Passing by Orchard Road, the renovation at Orchard still going on, many new building was done more than 70% as I see. Hopefully the ION Orchard will be completing soon; for the time being they completed the entrance portion of the MRT few months ago if I am not wrong.Ah! The China Rainbow Calligrapher still around just next to the entrance of Orchard Mrt.Hmmm….I would say his is skillful!Not sure whether National Art Council had released the new rules that “busking artist was not allow to busk at Orchard until all the construction had been completed build”; many busking artist was doing their art down here, whether having license or not.Basically, Singapore is a country that really appreciates art, a great country for artistes.
