21 Year Old Mind Illusionist Travels The World

Tom Devoe, blending in with the Singapore landscape!

Tom Devoe is not your typical magician. Rather he is a mind illusionist. He is currently in Singapore as part of his world trip which began on his birthday this year. He has traveled to India and Hong Kong so far and will continue on to travel to Australia, New Zealand, the Cook Islands and the USA, performing every step of the way.

Devoe decided to embark on this world trip after his last year in University. Why you may ask? “I want to travel the world and I love what I do so why not combine the two?”. he explained. “It also makes me a better performer too” he added.

Leaving Wales, his hometown on his 21st birthday, his world trip so far has not been easy. Adapting to the climate is one challenge. Tom only had three words to describe the weather in Asia and that is “HOT HOT HOT”.

This being his first time in Asia, Tom is amazed with the sights and sounds he saw. The poverty in India and the 24 hour McDonalds that we have in Singapore are some of the few things he mentioned. “Lots of poverty and people sleeping. It was hard to see. I was caught in a monsoon and the steel roof was torn open by the wind…. I was in a boat in a typhoon and I thought I was going to die. Everything that happened so far has kept me on my toes.”.

What’s his take on the Asian Cuisine we offer? Being allergic to rice, Tom has tried out all the possible Traditional Indian Cuisine in India and all the noodles in Hong Kong . WOW! He is looking forward to his next destination which is Australia, where he will satisfy his cravings for burgers and steaks. What does he have to say about Singapore Cuisine?… He likes the Singapore Sling and might be trying the Fish Head Curry.

When asked about the hardest part of this World Trip,  he cites that being away from friends and family is without a doubt the biggest challenge. Tom will be returning home on his 22nd birthday, exactly one year after he left. As Tom continues to pursue his passion during this trip of his, we wish him all the best in his future endeavors!

Tom will be in Singapore till January, performing and doing his mind illusions. You can check out this blog here.
