Do you believe in magic? Have you seen one? Did it make you wonder how it was possible? In my childhood days, it was common for me to see magicians. With their fast hands manipulating cards, balloons, crossing on a hanging wire, these made my eyes wonder where my coin went and how it got back to me without my effort. I can say, I was mesmerized with their ways and always wanted to know how one was done. Those were just basic tricks for I was only a child and easy to be amased!
It made me realise that humans can go further what our eyes usually see. It was like they were dancing before my eyes when they performed their tricks. It was hard for me to chase their moves though I tried. Front seats were my best friends while watching them on stage. The thought of magic itself made me a fan! Stage shows, visual acts, illusions, mind-magic or so-called mentalism, fed my innocent eyes and left them curious and asking for more. It made me think that the universe is so broad and it has its own powers. I can say that I watch them multiple times without having a blink of my eyes to chase their gestures. Speaking of chasing, I’ve chased and tracked the wheels of Artful Deception where they bring their magic. They are composed of different skilled magicians in Singapore, a corporate source of extreme magic and stage shows. They said that they are designed to entertain, amase, and inspire! In this regard, these were always evident. In private events, you will hear not only the voice of the magician. But also the amased shouts of the people. This is also observed in their large stage shows. People can also participate based on the magic that they will show. I was also amased to see those producing online media content related to illusions and deceptions that captures eyes online. They have a female magician in Singapore. She told us that she has been doing magic for about 10 years. So you can expect a lot from her. Another corporate event magician is male who is used to performing magic for about nine years. He is known for his Close-up magic and frequently shows it at international corporate events, bars, and restaurants. I always read articles and journals about a male course instructor who has mastered the art of magic of dice stacking, juggling, ballooning, and magic. The other magicians of Artful Deception are known for their own and different magic tricks. They are bound to help each other in entertaining the eyes of the crowd. As for me, watching them made me understand magic. I also became passionate for it. They demonstrate that we have so much more to learn in our world. Only a few know about the wonders of magic.

These days, magic shows are already being used for different purposes. Close up magic shows like iPad magic shows and others can also be performed not just for entertainment but also for marketing, like highlighting a brand or firing up a campaign.
Magic has gone a long way since then. We only see them in carnivals, festivals, and in parties involving kids. We admit that they truly are spectacular, but there is still a little hint of doubt. What we are sure of is there might be a trick underlying it, but we do not know what or how. This is the thrill behind magic shows. Now, it is not only being used as an entertainment. The corporate world has also been seeking the help of magician to boost their brand. Here are the types of magic shows that have been commonly performed in different functions: 1. Illusion Shows Illusion shows are magic shows that have a knack of playing with your vision. This is where the magicians play with your sight in an entertaining way. These illusory acts are usually performed in a large audience consisting of about 500 people and above. These acts use large scale props, and have assistants to help them. There are magic shows that utilise LED or UV lights for better visual illusion. 2. Close-up magic shows Often undermined as street magic, close-up magic also has its own strengths, and advantages. Close-up magic entails a more intimate setting where the magician performs his or her magic around a small crowd. Card tricks are commonly presented here at close-up magic shows. Of course, because of the dramatic rise of the digital world, even gadgets are being used as a platform for close-up magic, and all other magic shows in general. As a means to fire up corporate campaigns, close-up magic shows usually rove around from table to table to keep the guests entertained. This is a good ice breaker, too! With iPad magic shows, the brand of the host company can be presented in a creative and memorable way. Using iPads, the magician in a way blurs reality, and the digital space of iPads. A usual performance involves a magician making a gesture of pulling out an object from the iPad, and eventually pulling the actual object to reality. 3. Mentalism This kind of magic show is one of the most interesting ones. This always involves the mind being able to do different feats that cannot be normally done. Examples of these magic shows are predicting the future, being able to read what others are thinking, using the mind to do things, and others. This would be a really good way to entertain your guests, and fire up your event. These are just some of the magic shows that are being used these days not just for entertainment, but also for firing up a campaign for corporate shows and functions. There are many companies here in Singapore that offer these kinds of services, and can provide a good magic show for every audience. Organising an event has always been seen by many as a source of mental and physical exhaustion. From budget proposals, logistics, volunteers, and advertisements, event management could surely trigger some stress and tension. In particular, matters concerning the retail space and its interior design require the most vivid course of action and attention. Within this field, a single mistake or misjudgment could result in fatal consequences. That is why consulting for professional assistance in these conditions might be the perfect way to assure that everything goes well. After all, who would want to risk his or her chances, and let a moment of celebration be reduced to a chaotic experience? Take a deep breath and try to take a look at the larger picture. What you need is not a formal session on proper event management, but a retail interior designer.
To briefly explain, retail design refers to the application of both elements of interior decoration and advertising in retail spaces. This makes retail interior designers as those who specialize in decorating commercial venues. For most people, designing retail outlets might not be seen as something that is essential and decisive; however, retail decorations, in fact, play a vital role when it comes to the business industry. In particular, giving enough attention to matters of retail design could essentially affect customers and brand popularity. Creating appealing and remarkable spaces influences customers’ interests and satisfaction, and, in return, could maximize your sales. After all, aesthetically pleasing venues play a large part in attracting buyers. Designing your retail places also affects the overall identity of a particular product. Just like how food should appeal not just to the tongue but also to the eyes, effective retail designs must also have aesthetic grandeur. It helps in showcasing your brands into an elevated and unique touch that could affect a customer’s purchasing decision. Moreover, with the advancement of technology, online shops are invading the commercial field. Consulting professionals to help in your retail interior design could help your business keep up with the convenience online shops and deliveries could offer. Creating a well-thought and expressive retail space could serve as a gateway towards fame and accumulation of loyal customers. As the saying goes, hit two birds with one stone. Decorating your business places with much attention to details do not just enhance customer experience but could also serve as a way to introduce your brand and express what makes these products different from the others. Of course, retail interior design does not just benefit the customers but even your workers. Good working environment helps in creating a professional yet comforting mood that could encourage your staff to work even harder without possible distractions. For some, focusing on your shop’s physical space might equate to a mere luxury. But with the rise of tougher competitions, one must always be willing to take a risk and strive for victory. The emergence of the digital era opens a new space for commerce, but that does not mean that it is the end of our commercial race. Life is a continuous journey since the day we were born until the day we day. But every now and then we’re reborn into a part of life we’ve never touched yet. My life was reborn when my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.
Since this is a new part of life I’m stepping into, I’d love to document everything memorable I come across. I took family portrait with the help of a photography studio in Singapore, with the wife and I focusing on our handsome boy. Photography has evolved into a more efficient form of art since its origin in the 19th century. But we took our photo with a traditional portrait reminiscent of Wild West photography. I’ll never forget the look of my wife’s eyes as we were taking our first official image of the family. The photography studio in Singapore was Baobab Tree Studio, a specialist in family portraits, baby photos, and wedding photography. Apparently, their studio is heavily influenced by Korean styles of photography. A life reborn Everything changes with a baby in the picture. For our new beginning, we put our baby in the picture (literally). I was never a man who would take photos of everything. I’d only take photos of interesting moments in life. But with a newborn, I had to take a photo of the whole family because not only was this a memorable moment—this is was my life reborn. With just one click of a button, our image was taken. The photo was beautiful indeed. I knew I had to put this in the wall of memorable photos back in our home. “Our very first picture”, I had it caption below the frame. Photos can be easily taken by anyone. An average person with a phone can take pictures, but it takes a professional photographer to capture beautiful family portraits. Our photo was clean and fresh, thanks to the photographer and his team. I wanted it to look timeless so in the future, I could look back and remember this memorable part of my life. When to take professional photos Getting a professional photo is a not exactly expensive, and most of the time its affordable. But it can be pricey sometimes depending on the number of photos and their sizes. That’s why in my experience, you should take professional photos when the time calls for it. You could easily take photos with your phone in memorable experiences, but their are moments in life where you’d want to capture an event as majestically as possible. Like for weddings, family portraits, or remarkable birthday parties. I suddenly had to take an image of our family together for us and others to see in the future. I’d love my boy to take this photo of ours in the future once we are old and weak. Memories are timeless, and photographs solidify these priceless moments in life. |
