Very Interesting Magic Show
I do not know how tom do magic because I no keen to learn magic; anyway, I did know lots magician in Singapore during many years in the entertainment line. I just came across an internet broadcast programme about the magician’s battle events called: “金牌魔术团队”(Golden Magic Teams) in China, the Taiwanese Famous Magician 刘谦 (Lu Chen) is one of the judger besides the judgers including Mirko from Spain, 陈广生from Hong Kong, 小林浩平from Japan. All of them are International famous magicians.
Since the TV programmes like “American Top Model”, ‘So You Think You Can Dance” became famous and popular, many countries was doing a programme like that, which especially having some judgers in the event, do immediate comment to the contestants and kick out some contestant on the spot.
In this "金牌魔术团队"(Golden Magic Teams)programme, the latest most popular TV programme in China.
That was quite different from other battles programme, you can see the China contestant being kicked out was argue with the judger especially the judger刘谦 (Lu Chen). You can also see some of the loser was here to against and doubt刘谦 (Lu Chen)’s qualifications! I never seen such scene happened in any other countries’ programme before.
刘谦 (Lu Chen) was kicked out those contestant who mainly copy other magician’s props and magic because that is not creative and not consider their own talents. One contestant was argued that nothing wrong to copy because he is the only magician who does this set of magic performance in China!
One of the worst contestant who purpose participated this programme is wanted to tell刘谦 (Lu Chen) his is here to present 刘谦 (Lu Chen)’s magic and he had just broke刘谦 (Lu Chen)’s best magic set just within only one hour plus! He urged刘谦 (Lu Chen) to produce better quality magic in future!
He seems very high and really wanted to argue with刘谦 (Lu Chen) but luckily the uncomfortable atmosphere was solved by the very intelligent Mcee!
The Mcee 汪涵 tried calm him down and said:
“There’s a truth all of us was understand: We learnt mathematics during our primary school, the teacher teach us 1+1= 2, without the teacher’s teaching, your calculation could be totally wrong; while you are breaking his （刘谦 (Lu Chen)） magic secret just within a second, you should not forget the creator of this magic set is actually is a guidance who bring you into the door to the magic world!
We are standing on intelligent people’s shoulder hence our view is broaden and wider, hence, anyone of us who appeared on this stage, we should be thankful! We should be thankful to those who guiding us to the world of magic! Thankful to those who paying lots efforts to creates such guidance to us.”
I would like to say the Mcee is really a man!
I didn’t know just simply watching a magic programme can found some words that I wanted to speak out from my heart for so long, just exactly as what the Mcee mentioned in this programme! That’s why I say I watched a very great Magic Show.
In my event caricaturist life so far, sometimes could meet such people who trying to insult or show that they are really million times better than you, but they had never think about what of their current succeed was based on you samples or works hence they can be better! Haahaa!
Frankly, my caricature was not good compared with many other artists; I had felt I never improve much after 18 years event drawing experiences haahaa! There are always many things for me to learn.
I don’t know whether this is some sort of special people’s human being: feeling great while they insult the people that weaker / poorer/ lower level then them.

Caricature Software
Came across a website and found they are introducing the ‘Caricature Studio’. From the cover it seems quiet interesting. I think not a bad choice for those who interesting to DIY their caricature, or using this software to produce a caricature of your face and use the exaggerated face as a reference for you to draw it using your hand with any media.
I remember there is a caricature software long time ago is called ‘Kai’s Power Goo’ and I did came across someone using it to produce caricature by shooting the guest faces in the events, then input into this software and then print out as a photo for the guests as take home souvenir.
Such ‘computerised caricature’ item was no longer engaged by the event companies because it took longer time to produce a caricature due to need time to process each photos; moreover, the artist need to do at least a basic setup of the back drop and lighting to do the shooting part for the guest’s photo for the computerised caricature, hence they need to carry a lots of setting stuffs compared with traditional caricaturist.
By hand drawn caricature, we could get comments that claimed the drawing was not looks like the person being drawn, but as the event companies feedback I heard, they get the same comments as well! Because many people can’t accept their faces being exaggerate too much.
Art is very subjective I would say, even a normal photo taken (did not add any effect) for some people yet their friend or themselves could claimed that the person in the photo doesn’t looks like the real person al all. Haahaa!

Caricature at Warren Golf Club
That was great to meet Ivan and Lee Lee (http://www.sg-airbrushtattoo.blogspot.com/)in the event while I do caricature for Warrant Golf Club’s event. They are doing wire crafts.
I don’t like to draw people with mask or wearing sunglasses because no matter how good you produce the drawing but while you just look at the drawing, it could be looks like anyone because your main features was being covered.

Professional Dough Figurine Making
Some event companies was checking if there are professional dough figurine artist in Singapore that able to produce the dough figurine doll which able to keep for a very long time but sill in a good condition because they had been come across some client’s complaint about the flour doll which ordered and given to their special guests or VIPs getting crack or having mould after few weeks later they received it, this caused their client felt very embarrassing.
I did not have any art piece that having such problem, but I do have 2 art pieces given by a local Singaporean Dough Figurine Artist May Toh’ in 2007 (Chinese Pig horoscope year, which I had been post in this blog before).
While I take out these art pieces from my cupboard, both of them were still having a good condition.
As I know, May Toh (http://www.talentsdata.8m.com/maytoh.htm) had learnt her Dough Figurine making skill from 2 masters from China. So I think May Toh is one of the best choices for quality dough figurine making for any of your special guests or VIP.
Another quality Singaporean Dough Figurine Artist I found is Madam Tang (http://tangsart.blogspot.com). Her art pieces were also quality and able to keep for many years as well.
I did meet some professional China Dough Figurine Artist whose came from China during ‘Ang Bao River’ event and related Chinese New Year events. I think their art pieces could be another best choice but thought you need to wait until they come to Singapore during Chinese New Years period.
