A place full of text. Here, I will keep writing like a dairy. Jogging down special things I done in the past and in the future.
2006-Mar (Complete Guide to Perfection on Stage)
I'm not sure if I know stage performance better than others. But I do know that whatever knowledge I have, it can benefit other people. Spent spring break writing. Within is all the tips and knowledge I gathered from my 7 years of stage magic experience. This guide is for Grace's better performance on a talent show in an event called MMA. Through out the past 4 years, I always thought I cannot come up with better ideas of "presents". This guide/book, proved me wrong. Proved that I still have a lot more motivation and imagination and sincerity for people around me. Felt just like when I first doing jewelry. Doing something for someone special does feel great. Especially I'm doing something I never attempted before.
2005-June (IBM Competition- Reno)
Competed in Reno Nevada for International Brotherhood of Magicians. My second stage magic competition. I did not win any awards, but I still feel great. Some disappointments, some regrets, but for first time ever, I realize that I'm competing with myself. The competition is one of the largest in the world. I'm competing with the best magicians all around. Losing if almost guaranteed. However, I feel that I'm competing with myself rather then them. I felt great after because I performed great on stage. Audience reaction is better than I expected. The crowd loved my performance. This means more than awards or price. Now, I feel that I know what to do to be the best, and I will do whatever it takes to reach the summit.
2004-Feb (IUCSSA Performance)
Performed on stage, in the IU auditorium. My biggest show. Spent so much effort in preparing. The show was great. It was one of my highlights in magic career. Afterwards, really feel I'm god. I can make everything happen if I want to. The show that gave me so much confidence in believing myself. The show that made me realize I'm meant for something even greater.
2001-Feb (Jewelry Design)
First time, want to learn something and do something special for Keiko. The end result, is learning jewelry making. Feels great doing something for someone special. Did a total of 2 necklaces and 2 rings. Not all are made to perfection, but all are done with sincere feelings. Even today, I still love making jewelry for other people. No matter if it's a friend or loved one. Have my own design and "product" being worn by someone else, it's a very pleasing, proud feeling. For all the people to whom I made jewelry. If I ever meet with you again by random, and see my jewelry being worn, it will definitely make my day.
2000-May (Prom Performance)
Still remember how it feels. First time doing stage performance, and of course, sucked a lot. The only thing I still remember from that performance is that halfway through performing, I took out a bouquet of roses, stepped down to the audience area, and gave that bouquet to Keiko. Even today, I still can't believe I did such thing. I don't even know if I have the courage to ever do that again. I can just remember, it felt good doing something special, something no one else would dare to do.
