Hi Folks,

I am Anslem Roy....for those who may not know me, I am a magican too ;-)

Been in the sidelines reading the posts in this forum. Interesting journey.

Getting to the point...
I will be conducting a lecture on use and performance of our good ally - The Thumb Tip. You will get valuable, practical information that will hold you in good stead for years to come. It will be a 3-hour session on Sat .Aug 27, 2005. More details can be found at THE MAGIC ANNEXE's website at themagicannexe under the Lectures & Workshops section.

Limited to 25 participants per session.

Feel free to give me a call if you need more info.

Till then....

Happy magic-ing!

Awesome! Just what I need! :)

Gday Anslem,

All the best for those attending!

Hi Anslem,

welcome to the MMF and thanks for your invites to the seminar.

Saw u on TV (latte @ 8) with the rest of the magic annexe...great honour to have u here.

First Deddy, now Anslem Roy,
Aloy and Brendan, your baby has sure grown :D

Rainking, this is the opportunity for u dude. I wish I can go but im working that week and cant go. I always wanted to master TT but never had much education or practice on it. There's so much u can do with it. Its much more than just TT and Handkerchief. I think for those who is interested in learning more abt TT and its full application, this seminar will be worthwhile. Besides, u gonnna learn from a pro. Awesome.

i dont think i can attend as I work saturdays. plus, now i'm rushing 2 nationwide projects, so its hard.

I'll be going so if any of youa re going, it will be alos nice to meet some of you there.

Thanks for your kind words guys. It's great to finally be able to contribute to the artform and make it respectable.

God knows there are those out there whose motives are otherwise questionable.

Met a fellow in KL recently, when I got back from Korea, who proudly showed me his business card. Profession read 'professional magician'. In the course of the conversation, he shared that he has been learning magic for 2 years and is now ready to do "the big shows for the big companies". Did I feel threatened? Not even a bit ... for one, he was speaking "the England" .

So me being me, I asked him to show me a coin vanish and he proudly did. Almost choked.....what an embarrassment! One would have to be blind to not see the steal and the subsequent flash.

I went away thinking of the number of clients that this fellow is going to sell himself to and make a mockery of our craft. That would really be sad.

33 years in the business and I still say that I am learning. You are only as good as your last performance....keeps one humble.

Only Malaysia Boleh! But I ask "Betul-kah?"

Mmmmmm...something to chew on isn't it.

Happy magic-ing :D

BTW...only 12 seats left for the TT lecture. I designed it for magicians but the irony right now is that there are more lay people than magicians. Only goes to show :wacko:

Yeah... actually ive been to spore last yr to meet some magicians there and i tell u lots of them have magic biz cards. i was like wow.. how cool. i even thought of getting one made for myself. but nah... no need la. prefer to be known via word of mouth. hehe... if im good im good, if no good then no good. lol.. i feel that if i got biz cards it kinda straight away says im good/qualified... lol

I think these generation magician, there are many many young magicians out there... some are really good and some are really really bad (but think they are good <_< ). some remain underground abt their profile. sometimes i feel that those that boast abt themselves really are not as good as u think they are. so yes, its good to remain humble.

again, magic is abt showman ship. flash or wat, many sees it as a form of entertainment....as long as u can entertain ur ok.. hmm... some people have great skills but cant entertain, some flash all the time but can entertain. lol.... seldom u can find one who has both. funny isnt it?

yes, every magician is always seeking to learn and create new stuff. we are always learning :)

Anslem, its great to have you here and ya advice and tips are always appreciated :). Its great to have someone with much experience here to guide us. B) Awesome.... hope u can visit our site often as u can and let us know abt the latest magic scene and happenings :P.

hehe more lay people sign up for the class? actually how would u know if they are lay people? they may be underground magicians with skills.. hehe u'll never know. if really some are noobs and have no magic experience, then they must be passionate abt it to sign up for the lecture... :)..

Ive seen pics in ya websites and how i wish i can join u guys... but the thing is im in melaka. sigh.. hehe oh well...


Cheers,
Brendan

i will try to make it but no promises...

Anslem,

I'm kicking myself for not being able to attend this one. :(
I keep missing all the good stuff again and again...

But this is really good for us (esp newbies like me) and I hope you will conduct more of these classes in the future (and hope you will conducts them on Sundays instead, hint, hint ;) )

Me too! :( - Can't be helped!

Noted and will keep that in mind for the next round.

Well here's the deal....round up 20 guys who are interested and I will run it again depending on my performing and travel schedule.

Cheers

Happy magic-ing!

who went for the lecture.
Please share your experience.
Hope you guys havre a great time.....i just saw message..:(

Go to the magicannexe website and you will see some pics.

Went to the workshop and it was excellent. My only complain is that there was not enough time to cover finer details of so many ideas. So a lot of stuff was "theory" as we rushed through (even after we went overtime for almost an extra half an hour). :( For once the basics were covered, it was full steam ahead.

BUT even then it was still good "practical theory", meaning that if you know the basics of handling a TT and are willing to work throught the many ideas given and apply them, you could do a whole show just using a TT. Following the tips given, with practice and guts, you could also use a TT in close up situations where you are almost practically surrounded without getting busted. Now that's a challenge.
It is not just one effect or half a dozen effects but DOZENS of COOL effects. :D

TT lecture was worth every single ringgit we payed for it.. in fact i could say tat nowhere can u find a TT lecture from a professional magician wit a vernet and a silk .. with refreshments and a bookelt for tat price....
the lecture gave a preety good insight about handling the TT which included the the basics asn wrong techniques on handling it .. i think the TT gave everyone an idea of how useful it can b to a magician....as a whole i would give the lecture an 8 out of 10 as it gave a preety good insight about handling the tt... a very beneficial lecture indeed!

Oh, and the free silk thrown in was indeed superb. 12 inch silk that fits comfortably into a TT. it cost more than the vernet TT! :o

I still can't believe I missed it...

If only I was Billy the Gates.

Thanks for the feedback Paul and iceman...
Hope to catch with you guys one of this days....i wanna see AMAZING magic....
shuks....I really miss it....this forum thingy...if didnt enter for a while...sure miss lots of things one

*pOof*
