Chinese Mask Changing Magic

Passing by Ang Mo Kio Hub, from the promotion poster just realized that Alex Tan (http://www.AlexTheMagician.com )was doing Chinese Mask Changing Magic 变脸 in Ang Mo Kio Hub shopping Mall at 10th, 11th, 17th, 23th January at 5.00pm. 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.

There are another female Chinese Mask Changing Magic artist in Singapore which from China within my knowledge.

Chinese Paper Cutting

Did an event for Chinese Paper cutting demonstration in a shopping mall. Chinese Paper cutting is one of the common booking items during Chinese New period. Usually we need some time to prepare the material and prepare some pre-made samples due to most of the cutting design need quiet some times produce.
That was great that after the show, we treated by the guests.Talking about Chinese New Year event item, I remember one of my friend William Lee ‘s new item which is call “Pebble Calligraphy”, which written the calligraphy on the stone!

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.
