This is one of the very few 'Street Magic' television shows from Asia. Magic designed for the Asian market but with definite Western influences in magic technique and thinking. The feel of the show is distinctively Asia in a format and style; common in televisions show in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

This video will give the rest of the world a taste of magic on this side of the globe and adds to the cultural diversity of the international magic scene. 

What also makes this 'Street Magic-style' television show different from any other in the world is that it features theatrical grand illusions performed on the street. These are illusions one might expect to see only on a stage but most have been modified or adapted to fit the street environment. 

While the goal of the current style of TV magic is to integrate all the magic 'props' with the environment, I have felt for some time that one interesting approach is to bring theatrical stage ('strange-looking') illusions into the street where audiences can view and be part of the illusions up close. We also developed and chose both classic and modern close-up effects for the 'Street Magic'  content of the show. 

Buy this video, you won't be disappointed."
