JC and Ning have been confirmed to star and host a brand new 3D TV show. It will be one of the world’s first 3D TV shows in Singapore and the world.

JC and Ning will also be hosting a independent magic program – M for Magic, in collaboration with local production house Sinema Media and Fly Entertainment.

In the first season of M for Magic, magicians take to the street to present magic that can be performed on the crowded streets of Singapore.

A total of 14 magicians are involved in the first season. The young Singapore magicians featured include: Alexander, Samuel, Matthew Lee, Harapan Ong, Tommy K, Ming Da, Larry the Daredevil Magician, Adeline Ng, Kyle Ravin, Alvin Terence, Maya, Darren Tien, Godwin Tan and Timothy Leow.

Godwin, Matthew and myself was honored to be part of this ground breaking event. Both Godwin and myself will be featured together in an episode where we talk more about what RDM is about.

Well... Red Dot Magic is about...

Godwin and myself were down on both days to check out the other magicians. We managed to catch a glimpse of Ming Da, Tommy K, Harapan, Maya, Darren, and Larry in action.

All of the magicians we met came from all walks of life. Some were as young as 17, part time magicians who will be future doctors, professional entertainers etc. It was definitely an enriching experience to see how despite of everyone’s busy schedule, we all share the same passion for magic.

The iTV series is due to launch in the month of April, and we will definitely be updating you more then!

They also claimed that Yandong’s act sparked many imitators to harm fishes in their bid to copy the trick.

The routine involves Yandong controlling six gold fishes and making them move according to his will, seemingly only by his voice and hand motions. Do check the video out below. Purely on the magic side of things, the routine was highly original and beautiful to watch.

Moving Fishes At Will.
