Hehe... u can see some spore hecklers in there... haha. also u can see some screams and also some pure silence reaction.... hmmm

BTW, what is the name of the deck with the word singapore written on it. I seen it being done before with the word unshuffled. Its cool. Can someone let me know what its called etc?

Thanks.

Albert, i dunno if there's a repeat.. but im sure there is.

Jeff Gan - February 22, 2006 02:04 AM (GMT)
i was surprised that they used quite a few effects Blaine used in his first 2 TV specials.
I expected more new stuff.

Lester - February 22, 2006 04:02 AM (GMT)
did u guys hear during one of the tricks, after the climax, i tot i heard in the background someone saying " I know, I know..."
:rolleyes: hehe... typical... kiasuism...

IyliaFahmi - February 22, 2006 05:56 AM (GMT)
ya lorr...
kinda boring...

M&I - February 22, 2006 09:03 AM (GMT)
Brendan

Unshuffled is a Paul Gertner effect. I understand that he sells a book and DVD which explains it. He also sells customised Unshuffled decks.

yalar got 1 girl ...when benn change the money to 50bucks...
she said I want I want..give me give me..so kiasu..lolz :lol:

Brendan Low - February 23, 2006 08:31 AM (GMT)
Lol.... yeah.... typical.... before i watch i knew that there will be hecklers. I guess the producers just gotta show that part to show that this is what u get when u perform in spore. Imagine if they came to msia... :blink:

Kieran - February 23, 2006 02:25 PM (GMT)
well brendan, if they do come to malaysia, the malaysians wont be so kiasu la... no offence to singaporeans... but it was so freakin funny... lol... but there was a lil faultyness wen chris korn was doing the coin trick to the lady... that gave a clue to viewers that there was some sort of gimmick... i dont know if u guyz noticed him saying(dont mind of the camera comes to the magicians point of view) or something like that... that would definitely raise some suspicion... but overall i liked the show... finnally a magic show featuring asia... i really do hope they come to malaysia... anywayz, their shows will be on ever tuesday at 10... new epidsodes from singapore... too bad it cashes with my wrestling... -_- ... since im a fan of levitations, im waiting for the episode where chris korn levitates some piece of sweet or someting and it goes straight to his mouth... i m still trying to figure out how the thing actually goes into the mouth... i.t magicians?? any idea?? oh yeah, an article came out in the newspapers today in the star... it was about their show... pretty cool...

Yeah i was watching AXN last nite and they advertise for Mondo Magic Spore again. wow.. i didnt know there's more to come each week. I tot just a one time thing...

awesome... :)

I like chris Korn! He's cool...

Jaysen - February 24, 2006 07:44 AM (GMT)
I caught the first episode of Mondo Magic Singapore on tuesday. It's excellent. The chemistry between JB and Chris is great. I love the one where JB did his card magic on the beach with a few girls and the imprint of the word Singapore was on the side of the deck. It's cool. Any idea what is that particular illusion he did called? And can we get it in M'sia?

Thanx

Jeff Gan - March 1, 2006 02:37 AM (GMT)
the 2nd episode was much much better than the 1st.
At least they got better reactions and the guys looked more at ease.

I enjoyed this one.

But the original series for me is still waaaay better.

Brendan Low - March 1, 2006 07:38 AM (GMT)
Yeah... thanks to Jeff reminding me i didnt miss out the 2nd Episode of Mondo Magic Spore.

Yeah it is better than the first episode. Tricks were better. U hear JB and Chris commenting and admitting that sporeans are v reserved in their reactions and are much harder to impress and know as they keep it inside.

I loved the signed bill in mandarin orange.. v cool. (i got no idea)

hehe the one in Little India, the parrot one... the old man dont even know what chris was talking abt.

the floating bakua to his mouth was cool.

and oh yeah... he even did a trick, card into mouth using Tiger Beer deck which the Tiger lady asked him to use.

I also like the coin into bottle magic in the bar.

All in all... good but like Jeff said, i enjoy the normal episode ones much more... cooler tricks and better reactions.


Sukyi - March 2, 2006 06:11 AM (GMT)
still got anymore mondo magic going to show? i haven't watched any... but everyone's talking about it!

Jeff Gan - March 3, 2006 07:16 AM (GMT)
nExt tuesday, 10pm, AXN

IyliaFahmi - March 3, 2006 10:18 AM (GMT)
bakua?u meant the roasted pork ah?
yeah!cool!
did u all remember the opening part of that episode?
he said that doing magic in singapore is not easy bcuz evryone nvr quit from what they're doing..people will always keep on walking n walking unlike in other places..
is it a typical asian behaviour?reject evrythg tht stop them on streets..i look Chris Korn being rejected just like people who rejected an insurance agent..so sad..

jackliw - March 3, 2006 03:47 PM (GMT)
fahmi, i think this is our asian behaviour or maybe human nature?...
imagine this, one day when u r walking on the street, someone stop u and say "can i sing a song for u?" will u reject?? thats why i dont like to do magic for strangers..

isaac - March 4, 2006 03:14 AM (GMT)
well, i suppose more on culture.
we are all train from young ..

mummy: "when stranger come up to you hor .. do not talk to them"
son: "oh ok"

different culture and background :)

IyliaFahmi - March 4, 2006 05:05 AM (GMT)
maybe i'l will..thats why..hey..if u dn like to show magic to strangers..to whom would you show it?

Sukyi - March 5, 2006 02:37 PM (GMT)
thanks jeff :)

Jeff Gan - March 7, 2006 10:25 AM (GMT)
Mondo Magic Singapore is on tonight. 10 pm AXN.

Jaysen - March 8, 2006 03:23 AM (GMT)
I watched the 3rd episodes yesterday. I particularly like the photocopier magic. It's pretty cool.


Brendan Low - March 8, 2006 04:35 AM (GMT)
Yeah... the photocopy was pretty cool. Good idea.. might wanna learn it as the photocopy machine is just a few meters away from my office desk.... :P

hmmm how did he do the switch??... hmmm....

The card tricks that JB did were pretty normal.

I like the one Chris and JB did the card trick in the lecture room. Both spec selected the same card... hehe the sporean gal gave Chris a hard time didnt she? lol

HAHAH yeahhh..
can see lah when Chris Riffle and Fan the card that time..(got a bit of exposure)
LOL...quite nice.....got a few new ideas...haha..
the DL....the 1st stunt...hahaha.

Post edited a lil.

Brendan Low - March 9, 2006 12:46 AM (GMT)
Yeah Ewin, i agree, didnt quite like the way he F**** the card. Or maybe it was the camera angle. They gal perhaps couldnt notice wat he was doing.

Sukyi - March 9, 2006 04:37 AM (GMT)
i finally watched an episode! hehe

the girl kept switching card... haha

another one i'm confused about is the 5 cent coin in the beer bottle... how'd the bottle break? is it a gimmick?

isaac - March 9, 2006 04:42 AM (GMT)
:D i miss it again .. :(
jeff when is the next one ?

no no.. its all in the MIND.... u just gotta concentrate on it.... lol....

it takes years and years to train.... (lol just joking).

I beleive it uses something to break it. Dunno if same concept as the wine glass break as performed by David blaine. hmmmm... One can only wonder...

Ewin - March 9, 2006 10:12 AM (GMT)
yer got 1 kiasu girl in SG>.lolz

U want money ?
yeah I want Money..LOTS of MONEY...
I dont think it works in Singapore or either in America..

cant get the last line..what was it??? :lol:
something Universal Pick up Line..
dont get it.. :lol:

Brendan Low - March 9, 2006 10:30 AM (GMT)
Lol... yeah Money money money... sporean gals.... say until like she loves money so much... sigh lol

I think almost every episode Chris and JB will comment that is v different so much harder performing magic to sporeans than compared to elsewhere (USA, Europe).

"They just stare at u like......"

"They are v reserved ...."

Looking forward for next week's performance. The tricks are getting better though rite? lol... hmmm...

I really enjoy when Chris performs... he is such a funny guy. JB Benn is more on the serious since.... and uses his body alot for misdirection... hehe

Ewin - March 14, 2006 03:00 PM (GMT)
haha juz watched todays episode....

quite boring today......
the pool trick was done in 1 of the earlier mondos...

the last trick for the TV audience was quite nice..i did it too..haha

Brendan Low - March 21, 2006 09:21 AM (GMT)
dont miss it again tonite... 10pm.

Ill watch it after my badminton tonite hehe... :P

If u miss it, u can catch it again on every Sunday.. i think at 7.30pm if not mistaken :P

Yeah some tricks they've done it in other episodes... eg.. the card trick on the pool table one.

Anyway, hope its a good one tonite.

Cheers!
Brendan
