This article actually is backdated to February this year (2009) but we thought this is worth a mention!
According to an article by China View:
“Given the dismal economy and flattened wallets, not many would consider spending money on a hobby. But magician Liu Qian’s mind-blowing performance at the 2009 CCTV Spring Festival gala has set off many on a quest to learn a trick or two.“
“The Beijing Qitian Magic Training Center its highest enrollment in its history with more than 40 students attending classes every day…….founder of the Magician Society at the Communication University of China, says ever since Liu’s gala debut, he has been receiving several phone calls and e-mails asking what training in magic is available…“
“Magic has never been as socially acceptable as in China now,” said Liu Qian.
For a magician coming from Taiwan, Liu Qian has achieved what we believe to be a feat that would be hard to match for many years to come. Hundreds of million people watching your magic at the same time…Beat that.
