The full event details are as follows:

In Oct 2003, Concept:Magic (www.conceptmagic.biz) held its first Micro MAGIC Convention for about 15 invited participants. The purpose of the underground micro convention was to create an event where magic enthusiasts could meet up, participate and exchange ideas in a positive learning environment, facilitated by professional magicians.

This 3rd Micro Magic Convention will be the biggest one yet with a new venue and the largest number of participants. Held at the hip & happening Fluid Bar & Lounge, it will be an entire afternoon of magic, food and fun!

The highlight of the event will be a Master Lecture on Close-up Magic & Professional Magic Performance by J C Sum (www.jcsum.com), the region’s most prominent professional illusionist.

He will share his routines, personal handling, methods and presentations for close-up (street) magic effects that he presented on Channel 8’s ‘Top Fun’ ‘Street Illusions’ segment as well as the upcoming ‘Magic in Motion’ series for Singapore Press Holding’s MediaBoxOffice (SPH MBO).

More importantly, he will share his proven approaches to superior magic performance that has brought him around the world and back.

In a special ‘Producing Your Act’ session, J C will also help 8 lucky participants achieve a quantum leap in their magic performance through analysis, constructive critique and demonstration.
