Bob Chua                                                                     www.conjurer.net

Bob Chua has been dabbling in magic ever since he was a boy but real life dictated that he had to have a real job. When he retired several years ago from the corporate rat race, he finally had the excuse to turn professional and become a magician.
His big bag of tricks can toss up almost anything—and sometimes, everything—when you least expect it. His versatility and dexterity is evident in his polished performances, be it extravagant stage shows or close up "dinner table" legerdemain. Children shows, balloon sculpturing, and magic lectures are just a few of the many things Bob does.

A frequent traveller, Bob is a familiar face in magic circles both local and abroad, especially those of South East Asia, the United States, and Australia. Mention his name and his contemporaries will launch into lengthy praise of his talent and mastery of magic.

Presently a life member of the International Magicians Society, Bob stepped down as Vice-President of the Singapore Chapter in 1999 after two years of service. He was also a council member of the Society of American Magicians (Assembly 90) for the 1991-1993 and 1993-1995 terms.

Awards:

2001 - The Merlin Award from The International Magicians Society USA for the Best Close Up Magician

1995 - Best Teach-In Magician of the Year from Singapore Association Of Magicians Assembly 90

1993 - First runner up at a Close Up Magic Competition at the Western Australia Magic Convention in Perth

Manipulation: The art of creating magic with only your hands is a form of magic as old as the art itself. Moving Hands is book ended by Hasif’s two signature acts, 'Moving Hands' and 'The Razor Illusion', and is the full blown representation of Hasif’s philosophy that magic should be performed as theatre. Instead of pointless illusions that go nowhere.

::Moving Hands:: Hasif’s signature act, 'Moving Hands', has garnered him immense praise for its sheer ingenuity and uniqueness. Hasif combines classic sleight of hand and manipulation, theatrical illusion, together with a little bit of the bizarre to bring a new and refreshing look and style to an old art form. Producing bird, objects mysteriously appears seemingly from nowhere and starts to manipulate them. Moving Hands has taken Hasif around the country and in front of hundreds or maybe thousands of viewers in theatres.

::The Razor Illusion:: You will witness, for example, Hasif eat and plays with fire to eating real sharp razor blades with shredded pieces of thread and pulling them out from his mouth linked together. These illusions plus many more are presented in a way only Hasif can. They are charged with a creative energy.

::L'Illusionist:: L'Illusionist is Hasif's latest act that is receiving positive review. It is a timeless story and has the feel of a classic film. L'Illusionist is still anchored by Hasif’s signature acts but is filled with illusions that have a significant impact, even in large venues, but is compact enough to fly with. The elegant magician, dressed in a distinct suit, performs visually stunning illusions onstage with style and panache.Producing fire from his wallet, objects appears from his fingertips and an innocent looking table tends to float and dances around with the magician and many more. This act has also got him 1st runner up at a recent competition Hasif entered.

All of these acts, which would be the highlight spot in any revue show, play on the international stage, television, cruise liners and corporate events. Many of the vignettes that Hasif performs, like Moving Hands, are performed to music so language is never a barrier. In fact, these acts are so flexible that they can be customized to fit a spot as short as 6 minutes or as long as 30 minutes. They can also be performed as one piece or can be divided into segments without altering the effectiveness of each section.

Typically the show lasts 15-20 minutes in length but can be customized to fit any situation. Many magicians toil for years pursuing a dream of perfecting just one signature act that will capture peoples’ imaginations and hopefully take them around the world. Hasif has accomplished that goal and has now created a third act that is receiving positive reviews.
