[Alel]

BTW, i'm not a working magician..i'm just a hobbyist like most of the people who regularly visit this thread..basin c alel pro coz he has a group hehe..pro ka ba alel??hehe

Dili pa ko pro oie! hahaha! Dili pa tawn ko working magician. Though naa na group diri sa Cebu then usa ko sa members, it doesnt mean na pro nako...hehehe

Mas grabe pa ang experience ni Jologs sa magic. He's been around magic before nako gud. Tinudlu-an pajud ni Rannie Raymundo. Wow!

Oie, Brian, Abuot, Bir2, Cosplay, and to others that are interested, basin interested mo mo-apil sa group. At least magka-hi-usa ta ninyo ba. Mas daghan ta, mas daghang ideas, mas mahimo ta nga malipayon sa atong hilig sa pag-perform og Magic. Feel free to contact me mga Bro: 0921-7799846.

Anyways, I'm currently into Mentalism. Sometimes in the application of mentalism sa akong mga nahibaw-an sa cards, coins & others. So mahulog na siya nga Mental Magic...

Presentation style: My performance style is that I too is being fooled by what I do - not in a comedic way - pero more siya like I share their amazement and bewilderment. I take advantage of the fact nga ang human persons mas en-rapport sa mga tawo nga pareha nilag gi-barugan ug stand-point. Basta, ingon ana ang style, maglisud man ko explain oie...


Haaayz, Finals na. Dili jud ko maka-lugar this Saturday...Bad trip...Mga Bro, enjoy lang mo. Basin sa next time maka-apil na ko ninyo. I'm excited to meet other magic enthusiasts here in Cebu. More power to us! ^_^

[cosplay]

Yeah. Alel, (I would like to address by name here so that I'm not confusing anyone whenever I talk)

I have my own group here in Cebu. We do not really work for money, as it seems to be confusing when I use the term 'professionals'. We are merely an open group (an open-source group, if you are familiar with 'Ubuntu') who loves to perform for performance, entertain for entertainment, and speak for enlightenment. We even used these magic techniques once to convince a particular group of gangsters who did not believe that there is always someone in the world who is more powerful than they are, someone in the world whom they could ask help in times of need. They felt that they were always neglected by the world as they have always done wrong in the past. You may be thinking that our sole purpose for magic is just as light as we say 'its only for entertainment' but dude, I tell you, you always have the ability to learn how to reach out to those who need guidance in their lives by giving out the best that you can for every ability that you have, and sharing that ability, without any doubt, to someone who needs that help of yours. This, of course, does not only apply to us as a group, but also to people like you, who are really engrossed with learning all the particular aspects and routines that you need, to be able to attain the level of skill that you truly desire.


We, too, have had our own shares of trials and common misunderstandings but, mind you, our group has survived through and through, even to this day, without even a name. We've performed live in different places, and met different people. We learn from ALL experiences, be it a bad or a good experience. Especially with pair-by-pair performance, we've reached places like Waterfront Hotel (Cebu), Glorietta (Makati), Greenbelt, SM Megamall, Osmena Circle, and Cebu Local provinces. The nicest part of casual performance is the fact that people around you tend to think nothing about you. Nothing special. Until something bizarre happens. It's always, as always. It doesn't differ from place to place. People are just the same. Be it a differnt race, color, place, climate, day weather, people are the same.

Sharing is as important as gaining. This is to achieve balance. Dude, you may not believe these statements but I would not have the nerve typing this all down and posting this for everyone to see if it were not based on my own experience. As you go through any journey that you decide to take, you will always learn new things, things that will help you in return.

Yeah, I am quite aware of that. And I agree. And I believe in you.

I myself do seance. And I know that you are knowledgable enough in the field to know that seance should never be presented in a light-hearted manner. And for clarity's sake, I dont do seance for just the sole microcosmic goal of scaring the hell out of them. I dont want scare them. Ill do my best NOT to scare them. Instead, I want to give a comforting atmosphere. I want them to feel NO creepy things when taking about the paranormal. My goal is to remove their negative impressions about the paranormal. And for that reason, I dont incorporate the Falling Chair in my act solely because it indirectly suggest the presence aggresiveness & the violence of the paranormal. I dont want that to happen in the spectator's mind.

The atmosphere is like. "Let's cross the line to the paranormal for a minute. See how interesting and beautiful it is? Its contary to what you think about it, isnt it?"

Since we live in a culture where the belief about the paranormal is quite strong, I decide to just eliminate the negative impressions attached to it. Hence I perform seance.

I myself dont believe in the paranormal. But I am aware how the belief about the paranormal sometimes help those who believe. And I try to emphasize that. I am also aware of the negative things that comes to mind of the believer - and I try to eliminate that. I honestly may not succeed in doing so, but I make sure I have communicated the message.

It's nice to know that you and your group too have the same view as ours about the impact that is left after our performances. Since we leave quite a great and long-lasting impression to our audience, why not make it something meaningful?

Magic is not a one-way communication. But rather an interaction.

I'd be very happy to meert you guys. I'm sure a long and fruitful talk would ensue.

By the way, hope you will get in touch with Jologz and me. Maybe we can set something up.
