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!
