2 days of Family's Day Out @ City Square Mall for Mediacorp

Once again, it's been a pretty busy weekend for us. For 2 days, Fifi was invited to be part of Mediacorp's "Family's Day Out" event held at City Square Mall. It was a weekend to encourage families to go out together as one family to shop, dine or simply have fun. Mediacorp have prepared lots of activities over the two days. Some of the highlights were the Family Most Look-alike Contest, Celebrities appearance and not forgetting, Fifi's Wacky Magic Show!!

As usual, Donut the Magical rabbit made his appearance in Fifi's show and everyone was delighted to witness him appearing out of an empty ballooN! Fifi ended the show with his grand finale which was a special illusion of a floating table!

Fifi had plenty of fun over the 2 days sharing his magic with all who were present to watch. Fifi was also invited to give away some exciting balloon sculptures after the show.

Secrets of Magic Revealed @ Singapore Flyer

For a week long, Fifi and friends will be at the Singapore Flyer everyday from 6pm-7pm till this Sunday for a special programme. Secrets of magic will be exposed during this session to educate the public how easy one can get started with learning magic. Of course, we won't be exposing the bigger secrets in magic. Our job is to arouse interest in this art form and educate members of the public how one can make use of simple secrets and change it into something entertaining.

Today, the crowd was pretty receptive and showed great interest in learning the tricks that were being taught. Several tricks were covered and a good number of them enjoyed the cards tricks that were being shared. Fifi also allowed for hands on experience by passing around his cards for the audience to actually try out the secrets that were being taught to them.

Nicole's 7th Birthday!

Hi everyone!

It's been a really busy weekend once again for the Wacky FunHouse team. On Saturday, Fifi the Wacky Magician took the whole day off from performing to compete in the Singapore's 1st Open Stage Magic Competition. It was down to the final 8 competitors at the semi final round. Fifi did his best by performing his unique brand of comedy magic with ropes and that got everyone amazed and amused. Finally. Fifi ended his act with the production of Donut the magical rabbit!

Good news is that Fifi is now through to the finals!!! We are down to the top 6 competitors now and the competition will be really tough. The whole lot is really talented and amazing in their own rights. I personally enjoyed Jeff Leong's manipulation act with canes and parasols. It's really really very good!!! It's a very dynamic act packed with lots and lots of surprises. To be honest, he is my personal favourite. I am pretty sure he'll win the competition. So, all the best Jeff.

Throughout this competition, I made several new friends. They include our indian magic specialist, Mr Yusof. He is really very funny on stage. Off stage, he is really one friendly guy. He made a snake appear in the semi finals! That was one piece of crazy magic!!



I also got to know this lady magician. She is Cheryl aka PHOENIX. She is one bubbly girl and I enjoyed her semi final act. The handcuffs escape she did was... WOW! It was highly dramatic and got my heart thumping hard for the entire 2mins! I am sure she'll be able to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Furthermore, she's one the very few lady magicians in Singapore!

I also manage to meet Nick Sin Tong! He has been an internet friend of mine for many many years. But now, I finally got to know him in person. Nick's act looked very polished to me. I asked him if it was a rehearsed and memorised script. and... he said "no." Haha. I'm impressed! He is one of the very few finalists who did a verbal act. Most of the others had at least half of the entire act performed to music, without speaking a single word.

On Sunday, we were going around Singapore performing at kids parties once again. One of the highlights for the day has got to be Nicole's 7th Birthday Party. We were late for the party all thanks to a traffic jam, a real bad traffic jam along Mountbatten Road all thanks to the road closure due to the ongoing marathon.






We were about 10mins late, and we tried our best to set up everything as fast as we could. Ms Neelie got her facepainting equipments settled first and so she got her facepainting started first.
I had a harder time as I had to prepare my props for the magic show as well as my balloons for the balloon sculpting giveaways session.

As requested by our client, we customised our magic show to ensure that Nicole, the birthday girl is featured and made the star of the day. So, Fifi got her to help in the magic not once, but TWICE!

Everyone had lots of fun participating in the magic show, laughing away almost non-stop during the entire 30mins. Fifi ended the show with the appearance of Donut, our magical rabbit. As usual, all the kids went crazy and wanted to have their hands on our cute little rabbit!

Despite being late for the event, Nicole's mum was absolutely delighted with our service. In her exact words, she said "Thank you very much! Your good service compensated for everything."

We were really happy that everything was alright in the end. Thank you everyone for trusting us to make your event a successful and memorable one. See you guys around!

BalloonTwisting @ Malay Weddings

Hi there!

I haven't posted in a while because I've been BUSY! That's right. A good part of my weekends now are spent at Malay Weddings! :)

TrillusionMagic is breaking into the Malay Weddings market to promote our balloon-twisting services!

Balloontwisting is a surefire way to keep the kids occupied at Malay Weddings - not to mention, each kid walks away with a souvenir other than a 'bunga telur'. The bright and vivid colours of the balloons also add to the joyous ambience of the wedding.

So why wait? TrillusionMagic is introducing a Balloon-Twisting Package for Malay Weddings at these promotional prices:

SGD180.00 for one hour of balloon-twisting
SGD300.00 for two hours of balloon-twisting (save $60)
SGD400.00 for three hours of balloon-twisting (save $140!)

Our balloon-twisters are very good with kids - we interact with them, let them choose what colours they want for their balloons, chat with them while their balloon is twisted - in short, we're not just twisting balloons at your event, we're there to make sure that each kid gets exactly what he/she wants as well as keep them occupied and entertained!

Of course, we also twist great balloon sculptures! Just take a look at photos from our previous posts! :)

You might catch us at the next Malay wedding you attend!


Till the next time we meet,

Maya's 4th Birthday!

The Wacky FunHouse team had a pretty busy weekend once again!
Today, we were invited for Maya's 4th Birthday! I must say that Maya is one very shy girl but she sure did enjoy herself especially towards the end of the magic show. Maya also got herself several balloons which include a turtle bracelet, a heart shaped wand and Elmo!



Fifi kicked off the show with the colour changing feather rings. This is a piece of highly visual magic and is certainly very friendly for the 4 year olds. It is easily understood and the colours of the feather rings adds colours to the Wacky Fun Show. After which, Fifi went on with some magic with ropes. This involved Maya, the birthday girl and within minutes, she took the spotlight and manage to pull off a magic trick all by herself!

The finale of the show never fail to impress the audience. Fifi got everyone in the room to join in to shout the magic word. Yes, I know you know it. It's "Wacky Fun HOUSE!!!!"

"POP!!!"

A white balloon burst and out came a white rabbit from nowhere!!!

Fifi totally enjoyed performing for the bunch at Maya's party and it's indeed my pleasure to be invited for this party. Thank you for trusting Wacky FunHouse!

Wacky Fun Weekend!

Today, Fifi was invited for a little end of the year gathering by Mr and Mrs Pua for his son, Ek Hoe and his fellow classmates. Fifi was engaged to perform a session of closeup magic and give away some balloon sculptures to the kids. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Fifi's little magic tricks which consisted of card magic, rope magic and more! Fifi also amazed the kids with some magic with rubberbands!
The Wacky FunHouse team headed down to Maplewoods condominium after which for Josh's Birthday Party. We were engaged for the Combo Package which consist of the Wacky Magic Show, Balloon sculpting giveaways and facepainting. Josh's mum, Mrs Jacelyn Koh was extremely pleased with our services that she kept thanking us. Everyone was amazed with Fifi's competence with the balloons creating exciting sculptures like Spiderman, Tweety Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Daffy Duck and a whole lot more!

The kids also enjoyed getting their faces and arms painted by our dearest Ms Neelie. Mrs Koh was absolutely impressed with her artwork! That's the end of yet another tiring weekend.

Till next time!

zul's been busy

juggling a lot of things in my life... but when it's time to go out there and entertain people, i leave no room for excuses to not give my audience the best time of their life!

doing magic at spotlight was a great experience... it's an eye-opener for me because i realised that most of the population have never heard of close-up magic. here's a brief definition:

Close-up magic, which is performed with the audience close to the magician, possibly in physical contact. It usually makes use of everyday items as props...

www.fact-archive.com/encyclopedia/Magic_(illusion)

close-up magic is a in my opinion a very rewarding and humbling experience. rewarding when you see your hard work pay off when you see the people happy and smiling. humbling is when you realise that the magic you've been practising for 300 years is over in like 2 minutes. yes i confess, i am that old.

Balloon Twisting at Borders

Funky Freddie and Zul were part of Borders' Halloween and 12th Anniversary celebrations! We were at both stores on Saturday and Sunday to give away free balloon sculptures to the kids! Check out the pictures below to see Funky Freddie in action at the Wheelock Place branch. :)

Night at The Museum!!!

I am not talking about the movie, Night at the Museum. But rather, 10th July is a special night for a couple of museums in the City Hall district.

The Peranakan Museum at Armenian Street for instance is opening late at night till 2am that night! Indeed it's a special one night only celebration, definitely going to be one of a kind museum experience for all who come. I am involved as one of the several entertainers at the museum, performing my brand of magic with a peranakan twist!

Other than magicians, there will also be a couple of cartoonists who will be stationed there to do a quick cartoon sketch of you! There's also a live Jazz band who will be performing thrice that same evening!

So, do check us out!

If you are free, do come down and check out the exciting exhibits as well as the magic we have at the museum!
