Hi,
Where do we meet? What time?
Any Entrance fee for those that is not performing but interested to watch?
I am sure a lot of our Fellow MMF members should come and support this event and have lots of fun meeting.
I wanna suggest that those that are coming post their remarks here......
So far my schedule is OK...
Cheers...Vision

Guys one thing,since this is a meet up,please don`t expect such a high pay,I just called up the organizers,depending on how many magicians come I`ll have to set up an agreement and sign a contract soon.Bring ur name cards while performing,the crowd is over 1500 people.

My skills are limited, thus I cannot perform.
But can you get me in for free? I'll make a good stooge though.
Please?
ps. Some people might protest your good graces, but please use your own discretion.
ChongWei - June 13, 2005 06:15 AM (GMT)
i have great interest in joining you guys.. but ..
1. My magic skill is very very very very limited. and I'm afraid that i expose the trick.
2. My off work time is unstable sometimes..
Do you guys need assistant ?? i want to come!
David Lai - June 13, 2005 06:44 AM (GMT)

We are performing to some VIPs also.Don`t know which celebs will turn up but mostly concentrate on the crowd 1st.Getting to perform in a function like this sure is a shooter.Anyways,Canbeef,I really hope you can make it.The ambience is really good for magic.DIM and not too bright.Great if you ask me.Perfect for levitation and a lit flash paper.Call me.If this goes well,another bigger gig is coming up in August.

The orgaizers have the guts to put up `magicians' in their ad for the JUICE carnival but they still haven`t called me up yet.I think they think I`m desperate for a job or something.Anyways I`ll be confirming the details(price,no. of magicians...etc) with them tomorrow.If everything goes well,24th of JUNE will be our meeting place.kudos.

You guys should bring Mr Numbers along. If he is as irritating in real life as he is online, you all can beat him up :!!:
No lah, seriously, it's much more difficult for you guys in m'sia to meet so a group meeting will be great for building bonds and clearing misunderstandings.
And good thing you all have got going here. Sounds like it's gonna be LOTSA fun. Magic event at a club. Wow. Can you say babe magnet? :!!:
Have lotsa fun guys!
And this should be in the Gigs sections B)
David Lai - June 13, 2005 04:00 PM (GMT)

Brendan Low - June 13, 2005 04:06 PM (GMT)
i think sure got hot babes one.. lol....
magicians, remember eyes on cards not else where k... lol.... just joking.
we are all just gonna have much fun there that nite. If we mess up a trick.. well.. just have fun.... if we do extremely well.. that thats good. Success or failure, definitely will be a great experience and eye opener for most of us.
Brendan
Kam - June 13, 2005 04:21 PM (GMT)
I have nothing else to say but:
You guys know you have something to offer to the laypeople, and I KNOW you guys want to. So here's a chance, and really things will go swell. It'll also do you good to your resume. On top of that, you get paid (even if it's just a cup of teh tarik heheheh WHICH I DON'T KNOW)! So yea, you have skills and it's good, so it's time to perform then :)
(So what if you mess up, David Blaine did too! Besides, you don't expect to see the same bunch when you go to Nouvo again anyways ;))
David Lai - June 13, 2005 04:27 PM (GMT)
Haha,of course they are babes.If you bring a SHARPIE along and do your ambitious card and ask them to sign their hp numbers,you`ll get it.I have a super sharpie,so I can predict a number their thinking and give my bisness card away.Whatever works.I`m sure you`re more creative than that.
One of my first performance was for a really hot gal.Mistakes I made.
1)I only performed to her ignoring the others.
2)Only talked to her ignoring the ...ahem others.
3)Did `Here and There' from Ellusionist by sandwitching her hands using mine.(you`ve got to imagine)
4)Her boyfriend wasn`t happy(I didn`t know she had a bf)
So beware..1st question,`Are you single' is always a good question.
Brendan Low - June 14, 2005 12:10 AM (GMT)
whoa... david, u d man.. lol...
u sandwiched her hands with ya hands... :P... wow... daring but cool :P
i can imagine the look on her BF face.
Yeah, sharpie will be great to bring along. David, u've got some nice lines going there dude.

Adlan - June 14, 2005 07:09 AM (GMT)
guys, could u count me in? i'd love for a chance to levitate stuff again hehe. and i promise i'll practise! :lol:
Canbeef - June 14, 2005 07:20 AM (GMT)
Dudes,
So if you guys want tickets (dun ask for a whole bunch at a time, its just for magicians), Please private message me and i will put you down in a list. Then maybe we can meet up at that day for you guys to collect the tickets. I hope everyone there will give their technical support to ppl performing or at least be a part of the crowd and cheer k. Performers need this kind of support to draw attention and build up the participation of the crowd.
And oh ya, everyone who is going please remember to pass around contacts so we can all see each other there and maybe get drunk on the free flow).haha. Stick together in a team. =)
ChongWei - June 14, 2005 07:37 AM (GMT)
Affirmative! "Got" in position and awit for "your" go!
I'll be there that day as support. So, should you need any assistant.. and no hot chiq around... you can try me...

Brendan Low - June 14, 2005 09:14 AM (GMT)
Darren, u cant go? aiya... heehe nvmla.. i understand. U must be excited abt ya bro's wedding :).
