Learn to Act in a Magician's Way

By Roman Cheng

The Childhood Play

When you walk around and make some friends, it is easy to find that people love watching drama and movies. These are especially common hobbies for people in Hong Kong, next to the habbits of shopping and going on the Internet. When I was a kid, I love playing various little and group games. I enjoyed particularly the game called "Who am I ?", in the game you need to use your body alone to express who you are, I realised that I like to stand in front of others and role-plays which gives me a lot of satisfaction and learned a lot how to present to other kids.

Role play in Drama Club

In University, I was lucky to be a member of the Drama's Club in HKUST. We have opportunities to take various drama classes through the teaching of master actors invited to the campus. In life, it is natural that we act the role of ourselves and this is easy as we all have our ways of doing and how we present and talk to others, this is an instinct behaviour. In drama club, you need to take roles in different characters, this becomes a totally new experience to me. This is the why we came to the acting class and I personally enjoy the learning process where I could learned a lot of acting and improvisation skills which help my role as a Magician for my career.

Drama in Magician's Way

Last week, I met a lady in a western-style restaurant in Central, without much thinking, I took a seat at her table after asking for a permission, of course I did it in a very polite way that I do not care if I would be rejected or so. She asked what I do here in Hong Kong, I told her that I am a trainer and help people to make friends by doing magic. This aroused her interest to know more about my training career.

After talking to her for a while, it appears to me that Hongkongers rarely believe that career as a magician really emerges in a small place like Hong Kong. I told her that I am not only a magician and musician performer, I also would like to share and train people who believe that they could learn an art which is special and instantly make friends more easily they could ever thought of.
If you want to know what happens between she and me, keep on reading ...
