went to science centre with darling, hw, hz and fen to watch zn's father perform magic. there is this magic exhibition being held at the science centre, so zn's father is the magician being invited to perform, and zn got free tickets from her father, so she gave them to us.
in the past i always thought that magic is a super 奇妙 thing, but ever since i watch that movie about magic (which i forgot the title), starring hugh jackman and christian bale, i realised magic is actually all about science, illusion and some form of intelligence used to trick audience. so whenever i watch magic shows (for example the magicians on 综艺大哥大), i try to look out for the "loopholes" that made the magic trick successful, but most of the time i failed. :p
the magic show by zn's father was nice! he has very good 互动 with the audience, especially the kids. and he showed us some "loopholes" of those magic tricks, which are damn funny. but his other tricks are quite amazing, for example he show us a big book, where initially all the pages are empty, then he press something on the cover of the book, the pictures on the pages appear, then he press something on the cover again, the colors of the pictures appear, then he press one more time, the pages become empty again.
after his show we went to approach him, and i called him mr tan, and he look a bit stunned. hahaha his expression was priceless. then we asked him whether he got see us before, and he said he find me familiar! wow! i thought he will find fen familiar, not me. haha.
so we took a picture with him, and then he showed some more magic tricks to us. he put his hand behind darling's ear and a red ball appeared in his hand. then he transform the red ball into two balls, put one ball in his hand, one ball in hz's hand. then he closed his hand, asked hz to do the same, and he said he will teleport the ball in his hand to hz's hand, and true enough when hz opened her hand there are two balls! and no more ball in his hand! next he took the two balls from hz and put them in darling's hand, then ask darling to close her hand, and when she open her hand, there are now three balls!
making a rope horizontal. making a cup float in the air. and the uncle in the middle is the magician aka zn's father.after saying goodbye to him, we went to tour the rest of science centre, but we din manage to tour finish all the exhibition halls, because the closing time is approaching. the exhibits were very interesting and cool, and of course, we took alot of pics.
so here are the pics. (yes my usual style of blogging)
dancers must always take jump shots. haha.
we left the science centre, and each of us went to different places. darling went to hall to find her hall friends. hz and fen went to ucc to watch the dance ensemble performance, but they din get tickets cos tickets are given on a first come first serve basis and there were too many pple in front of them queueing. hw and i went back home. hw was quite shag because the previous night he talk cock with the hall pple until 5 am this morning. crazy guy.
so after eating dinner at home, i bought supper (prawn omelette and frog legs porridge) and drove to hall to meet darling, hz and fen again. this time round zn, clare and nzj joined us.
ok that's the end of my fun-filled saturday. :)
thank you ms tan zn for giving us the tickets! next time if your dad got anymore magic shows, be it local or overseas, for example las vegas, or pulau ubin, and if got free tickets, must give us ok!
