How do you prove that a levitating lady is unattached to a thread or string? Why, of course, you prove it by passing a solid hoop through the lady’s body while she is floating in midair.

My apologies to the readers of this blog. I have not written an article for over a week. I’m up to my neck with activities these few days, and I just didn’t have the inclination, nor time to spare, to pound articles on the keyboard. Together with 24 other IMC members, I had been to Iloilo for three ...

Today I stumbled upon an ad copy of Jeff Hobson’s Egg Bag. As a magician in the Philippines performing for Filipino families, I read the ad in awe. I’ve read it before with nary a reaction. But now, after reading it again, I’m in awe, stunned even. The Egg Bag is sold for $150. For that price, the b ...

If you perform at supersonic speed, you will leave your audience wondering what the heck you are doing. Your performance will be a blur. On the other hand, a snail-pace performance can pu ...

Not only magicians in the Philippines but all over the world have to contend with the limitations of a magic performance. Performing a magic show is not like performing a song-and-dance number. It’s not like juggling three balls or doing cartwheels and somersaults. The performance of magic needs pec ...

Dear Leodini, I want to hire a magician to perform at my child’s birthday party. But I am having second thoughts. I hear that many magicians bring with them birds, which they use in their performances. I worry that these birds may carry the swine flu virus and infect my child or the guests. Is it al ...

Every particular group has its own specialized language. It is called jargon. Only members of the group are supposed to speak and understand it with some measure of ease. Doctors, for example, might say, “The local PCT advises the CPA when passing ADHD clients with PTSD to CPN’s from the CMHT,” and ...

Next to magicians in the Philippines, I find sport fishermen fun to talk with. I always have a good, relaxing conversation with people who catch fish for a hobby or for sports.

Magicians in the Philippines who perform comedy magic, or who try to spice their act with comedy business, know that making people laugh is a difficult enterprise.
