‘Magic to me is…’ uncovers what magic is to the magicians of Meta Illusions and the unique stories that set them on an unusual path to become performers
It has been over a year since physical shows and live performances were abruptly cancelled. Since then, we have adapted our shows to the virtual realm, performing at online teambuilding activities and virtual events.
However, as performers, the desire for physical connection is part of our internal mould. ‘Magic to me is…’ is an opportunity that we have created to showcase live magic entertainment in Singapore for the very first ..read more

Besides spending hours learning sleight of hand and mastering the art of performance, we also take the time to develop other capabilities. These skills may not be directly linked to magic, but we believe that they are essential in increasing our value as a company.
In our previous Townhall meeting, Edward Loke taught the team the fundamentals of video editing. After sharing his tips and tricks for creating quality productions, he was then challenged to conceptualize, cut and create one within just one hour.

This month, we conducted another magic workshop for Nanyang Technological University, this time for the students at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information. As part of their Communications week, they wanted to allow students to encounter unique opportunities beyond the school curriculum.
The workshop was headed by Kai Emmanuel who taught the students tricks with common everyday items that they could use on their friends and even social media. It was heartening to see them perform the tricks on their other friends right after the workshop.
With the school’s support, we w ..read more

We were recently engaged by Nanyang Technology University to conduct a virtual magic workshop for their CN Yang Scholars. The workshop was conducted by Edward Loke who taught the students beginner-friendly tricks from our General Magic Courses programme.
The tricks were catered towards these university students' lifestyle and age, so that they would be able to perform these tricks to their peers in their free time. Thus, the materials consisted of everyday objects that could be turned into entertaining pieces of magic!
With the students being enthusiastic and responsive across the virt ..read more

In December last year, I had the privilege to perform for my biggest client yet - Google. As part of their virtual year-end celebration, I was to perform magic as well as teach them all a trick.
It was such a fun show as the Google staff interacted with me throughout my performance. After the performance segment, we went straight into the workshopping, where I thought them a simple trick with a pen and a coin.
The Google staff then went into break-out rooms to practice the moves and come up with their own presentations for the trick. Upon re-entering the main room, w ..read more

Devasted. That was how I felt when I first found out there were not going to be live events anymore. Many plans were ruined and my goals had to be put on hold. But then it occurred to me, perhaps this situation would be a good opportunity for me to challenge myself and reach new audiences.
I have always wanted to create a magic show that is unique and features a variety of tricks. Thus, I took the time during Circuit Breaker to upgrade my skills and work on my brand-new show. My show went through many stages of trial and error throughout that period where I performed online multiple times eve ..read more
